Dakota Johnson reveals dating ‘non-negotiable' after alleged split with Coldplay singer Chris Martin
Rumours have been swirling lately about Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin calling it quits after eight years together. While the Coldplay frontman kept it classy — even giving Dakota's latest film Materialists a sweet shoutout during a Las Vegas show — Dakota's own words hint she might not be feeling quite as warm about her ex. At the end of his band's Music of the Spheres World Tour concert, Chris gave a subtle nod to Dakota, saying, 'Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists. We love you.'
But Dakota, chatting with her co-star Chris Evans on the Today show with Craig Melvin, seemed to set a higher bar when it comes to dating. When asked about their one non-negotiable in a partner, Chris Evans was quick to say, 'Must love dogs. Gotta love dogs. If you're not a dog person, what are we doing?' — clearly a nod to his famously adored pup, Dodger. Then Dakota jumped in with her own non-negotiable, saying: 'Like, not an a–hole?' The interviewer couldn't help but react, and Chris applauded, 'That's concise. There it is. Nail on the head.'
Dakota also got candid about what drew her to her role in Materialists, a rom-com about love, heartbreak, and all the messy, confusing bits in between. 'The complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. Everyone being confused about what the f–k they're supposed to do with their hearts and what's the right move. I found that very honest, and I found it just so relatable,' she said.
She also dropped some wisdom on how society views relationships, saying, 'For a long time, we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world, when people should get married, divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter.'
Materialists is set to hit screens soon, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. The film dives into the world of a NYC matchmaker who's caught between the perfect match and her imperfect ex. It hits theatres on June 13.

Sandra Bullock sent a voice note to Dakota Johnson after Razzie win; called her ‘part of the club': 'There are a lot of good people who..'
has had a whirlwind few months. Along with rumours of her breakup with Coldplay frontman after being together for eight years, Dakota was also awarded a Razzie for Worst Actress for her performance in 'Madame Web'. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The superhero film, which saw Johnson play Cassandra Webb – a paramedic with precognitive powers – was a critical and box office failure. It was criticised for its weak screenplay, underwhelming performances and messy execution. It even bagged the Razzie for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay. 's kind voice note But in the middle of all this chaos, Johnson received a sweet and unexpected message from none other than Sandra Bullock. While speaking on 's Good Hang podcast, Dakota shared how Sandra reached out to her after the Razzie announcement. 'There's a lot of good people who have won that,' Dakota said, adding that Sandra Bullock left her a voice note saying, 'I heard you are in the Razzie club. We should have brunch, a monthly Razzie brunch.' Sandra Bullock had once famously won both an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year back in 2010, which made her message all the more meaningful and comforting. Dakota's reaction: 'I was freaking out' The supportive voice note left a strong impression on Johnson. She couldn't hide her excitement, calling Sandra Bullock 'so iconic' and confessing that she was 'freaking out' after hearing from her. The message may have been light-hearted, but it carried a deeper meaning. It reminded Dakota that even the most talented actors face setbacks, and that true support in Hollywood can come in the most unexpected ways – like a voice note encouraging a monthly Razzie brunch. 'Madame Web': A misfire for Sony The film 'Madame Web', released as part of Sony's Spider-Verse, turned out to be a big disappointment. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, Dakota made it clear that the film's creative direction wasn't in her hands. In a previous interview with the Los Angeles Times, she bluntly said, 'It's not my fault,' distancing herself from the film's flaws. Audiences also had mixed reactions. Our official ETimes rating for the film stood at 2.5 stars out of 5. The review read: 'The whole attempt to infuse some family feel into the story with Cassie's colleague O'Neil (Mike Epps) and his pregnant sister-in-law Mary Parker (Emma Roberts) is so half-hearted. In conclusion, 'Madame Web' falls short of making a significant impact within the superhero genre, serving more as a tepid introduction than a compelling addition to an already saturated universe.' Despite the criticism, Dakota Johnson's honest response, and Sandra Bullock's supportive gesture, made for a heart-warming moment that many fans appreciated.

Pedro Pascal Has Most Hilarious Reaction To Dakota Johnson's On-Set Injuries
Both Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson broke out into laughter during the rapid fire for the magazine, where they also talked about on-set injuries. Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson have been keeping fans entertained via their quirky interviews ahead of their upcoming release, Materialists. The duo which seems to have a stunning chemistry both on-screen and off-screen came together for a fun rapid fire and the result was more entertaining than what you would expect. In a standout moment, Johnson hilariously recalled getting hurt on the sets of one of her previous movies but it was Pascal's reaction that you would not want to miss. Both Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson were laughing while questioning each other for Vogue but the hysterics truly broke out when they started talking about on-set injuries. It all started with Johnson asking Pascal, 'Have you ever had any accidents while filming?" Replying, Pascal said, 'Yes, I have. I've gotten hurt for real." Before he could finish, Johnson interrupted him to share her own story as she shared through giggles, 'I got whiplash from 'Fifty Shades." Her response led them both to absolutely lose it but Pascal was caught entirely off-guard as he erupted into laughter and even stood up from the chair to compose himself. Later, the actor added, 'This is my favorite thing." Wondering how Johnson sustained such an injury? It was during a scene where she was supposed to be thrown down on the bed a few too many times. Earlier in 2015, the actress told Yahoo Movies UK about the incident as she shared, 'Jamie (Dornan) was throwing me on a bed. We did 17 takes so my head just snapped back all day and when I woke up I couldn't move my neck. Which was really terrible." The Fifty Shades series featured Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a college student who falls for ultra-rich Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan. In another interview with E!Online, Dakota Johnson reflected on her strong bond with Pascal as she explained, 'Well, we're really close friends. So the best part was just hanging out all the time." As for Materialists, the film features Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. It marks her first on-screen collaboration with Pascal and is set to hit theatres on June 13.

How Sandra Bullock turned Dakota Johnson's infamous Razzie win for Madame Web into something positive
Rumours have been swirling that Dakota Johnson and Coldplay's Chris Martin have ended their eight-year relationship. Adding to a challenging few months, Dakota also took home a Razzie Award for her role in Madame Web (2024), a film that failed to impress audiences and critics alike. In a recent episode of Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, Johnson opened up about a surprising message she received from none other than Sandra Bullock. The Hollywood icon reached out after Dakota's Razzie win for Worst Actress, an infamous award that Bullock herself once won. 'I recently actually exchanged texts — well, I got a voice note — from Sandra Bullock, because I don't know if you know, but I won the Razzie for Worst Actress,' Johnson revealed. 'There's a lot of good people who have won that… but Sandra Bullock sent me a voice note, being like 'I heard you are in the Razzie club and we should have brunch, we should have a monthly brunch.' Because I guess she won that the year that she won the Oscar as well. It was in the same year, I think.' Johnson shared how special the message felt: 'I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as like a movie star. I was like, 'Oh my God.' I was just crazy.' The Razzie sweep wasn't just a blow to Johnson personally; Madame Web itself was a major disappointment, taking home Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay awards. The film, which stars Johnson as Cassandra Webb — a paramedic who gains precognitive abilities after a near-death experience — fell flat with audiences. Earlier, Dakota stood firm in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, asserting that the film's failure was not her fault.
