In 2024, an insider told the outlet that the exes had been engaged for 'years' but were 'in no rush to get married.'
In August of that year, Johnson's rep confirmed to The Post that the two did not end their engagement despite rumors.
'The reports are not true. They are happily together,' the rep shared at the time.

At the time, sources told the Daily Mail that the musician had 'accepted the relationship is over and it was 'best to move on' after seven years with the 'Madame Web' actress.
'Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work,' the insider claimed. 'They'll always have love for each other but they've both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term.'

'They're both busy people,' they continued. 'Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don't naturally intertwine with each other.'
'They wanted it to work but it just hasn't,' the source continued, 'and they've now accepted it is best to move on.'
In 2019, the pair allegedly broke up because Martin wanted to have children; however, they reconciled soon after.

Johnson and Martin first got together three years after Martin and his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, 'consciously uncoupled' before finalizing their divorce in 2015. The exes share kids Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.
Over the years, Paltrow, 52, and Johnson have gotten close with the Goop founder gushing over their tight bond in 2020.

'I love her,' she told Harper's Bazaar. 'I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her. I always start to think of the ampersand sign — what else can you bring in, instead of being resistant to or being made insecure by? There's so much juice in leaning in to something like that.'

'Love Is Blind 'Alum Marshall Glaze Says Last Year Was 'Very Tough' for Him: 'I Was Going to Take My Own Life'
Marshall Glaze, who appeared on season 4 of Love Is Blind, discussed his mental health challenges on the Wednesday, June 4, edition of What's the Reality? podcast During the podcast, he discussed contemplating suicide, saying, "Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life" He recalled realizing that he wanted to "live" and said that he hoped sharing his story would allow him to "heal"Marshall Glaze is getting candid about his mental health journey. The season 4 Love Is Blind star was a guest on the Wednesday, June 4, edition of Amber Desiree "AD" Smith's podcast, What's the Reality?, during which he discussed his mental health journey over the past year. "Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life. It just got to a point where I had always been morbidly curious, but never thought about how to do it," he said. "And then, one day, I'm just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed. Nothing is going right for me in my life or I feel like nothing is going right, that's what my internal monologue is telling me," continued Glaze. The star went on to note that "those voices, that darkness just got a little bit louder, got a little bit darker." Glaze described feeling like he was "in this box," and "the walls were just getting closer and closer and closer." "No favorite meal, no favorite movie, no favorite song, could lift me out of that," he said. "I knew I had a problem when, this particular time I talked to my mom, I was okay with that being the last time I talked to her." Glaze said he knew what he was going through was "bad" because his mother was someone he talked to "multiple times throughout the day." "I was going to do what I felt like I had to do, but I couldn't," he continued, adding that he then went for a walk that he "will never forget." "Seattle is a very rainy city, and this was at peak rain season, and I lived on a very busy street in downtown Seattle, and at any time of the day, there's buses, cars, bikes, people walking, and nobody was out there," said Glaze. He recalled walking around in the rain while wearing a cut-off t-shirt, basketball shorts and a pair of slides. "I walked around the Space Needle, came around back to my apartment, and I'm like, 'I want to live,' " he said. Glaze said that sharing his story ultimately helps him "heal." "I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life," he concluded. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), text "STRENGTH" to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or go to Read the original article on People

Dakota Johnson sent gorilla poop to friend's ex
Dakota Johnson sent gorilla poop to a friend's ex-boyfriend. The Materialists actress admitted she sought out an unusual way of getting revenge on the mystery man when her unnamed pal was left with a broken heart. In a lie detector test with Vanity Fair magazine, the 35-year-old star was quizzed about her loyalty and admitted she would lie to police about her "lifelong" friend Riley Keough's alibi if need be. She was then asked to confirm whether or not she 'once sent a man who broke your friend's heart a gallon of gorilla s***.' She admitted: 'I mean, there's no way that he would watch this, so, yes, I did do that... 'And it's been quite a while. It's been some years.' The interrogator then asked: 'How would one order something like that? Asking for a friend." Dakota explained she had visited S*** She added: 'You can order any kind, any size." The polygraph administrator confirmed the Madame Web star was telling the truth. Dakota laughed when she was asked if she also knew how to 'order pubic crabs online,' but denied it was something she'd ever do. She said: 'No! Good Lord, I'm not a monster." Towards the end of the lie detector test, Dakota confirmed she hadn't told the truth throughout the 12-minute segment but her fibs had gone undetected. She laughed: "I'm a psychopath." Asked which questions she lied about, she said: "I'll never tell". The Splitsville actress previously admitted she is "very defiant" and doesn't like rules. She told Bustle: "I am a very defiant person. If somebody tells me I can't do something, I am shaking, even if I had no interest in doing that thing." Asked if she was like that as a child, Dakota replied: "Yeah. I think I just find rules and some structure really ridiculous, silly and stupid." Dakota will always "accept and accommodate everyone's feelings". But ultimately, she wants to follow her own instincts. She shared: "I've always been the kind of person who's going to do what I want to do. "I will accept and accommodate everyone's feelings and ideas and thoughts. But as long as I'm not hurting another human being in some way - even with my work, with agents or managers or whomever - I'll listen to everyone and take everything very seriously and then I will do what feels really right to me."
