Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Quietly Split After 8 Years: ‘It Feels Final'
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have broken up—and this time, it might be for good, multiple sources told People. An insider said that 'it feels final this time.' The sources described their relationship as being 'on-off' during its eight-year run. Johnson and Martin were very serious during their time together but kept their milestones private. In March 2024, a source broke the news of their engagement to People, saying, Johnson and Martin got 'engaged years ago but were in no rush to get married.' Neither Johnson nor Martin has commented on the outlet's breakup report. Johnson has been in New York, doing press on her own for Materialists this week. Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 and were last photographed together this May before Johnson attended the Cannes Film Festival. This isn't the first time they've been the subject of breakup reports. In August, their rep shut down stories from Daily Mail and TMZ that claimed they had ended their relationship. The spokesperson told E! that the rumors are 'not true. They are happily together.' A source shared more about their dynamic to People at the time, saying, 'Their relationship works because they are both very independent and actually have lives outside of their relationship too. It's like every time they are not spotted together for a while, there are breakup rumors.' Johnson has occasionally spoken a little about Martin in interviews. Most recently, the actress spoke about the Coldplay singer in a March 2024 profile with Bustle. 'I love watching him [perform],' she said. 'I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.' She also addressed her relationship with his and ex Gwyneth Paltrow's two children, saying, 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.'

Of Course Jennifer Lawrence Can Elevate Ugly-Cute Clogs
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As we march steadily toward ugly-cute shoe summer, one pair is leading the pack. I'd love to tell you that shoe is the Maison Margiela Tabi (I personally own three different pairs), but that's currently in second place. It's falling behind the humble, but mighty, garden clog. While Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Doechii do their part to further the freaky toe-shoe agenda, Jennifer Lawrence has been pioneering orthopedic clogs. Though she already owns multiple slip-on styles, the actor just debuted a brand new pair while on a May 29 walk through New York City. The Hunger Games star wore a collection of her favorite casual basics on the outing, styling a $1,550 sweater from The Row with a pair of gray sweatpants. Her high-low energy only built from there. Lawrence added on a new pair of navy blue clogs (not to be confused with her other pair of navy blue clogs) that matched her four-figure knit perfectly. View Deal View Deal Lawrence's final additions were a luxurious knee-length ivory leather coat, Garrett Leight sunglasses, and her favorite leopard print Prada bag—a vintage find she's been wearing on repeat. It's her go-to swap when she wants a break from her rare Lady Bag by The Row. Between her street style and her recent slate of red carpet appearances, Lawrence has freed herself from the shackles of painful high heels. She has long been a champion of footwear comfort, famously wearing flip-flops on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet back in 2023. At home in New York City, she's often the first to try a freaky—and 10,000 step-day friendly—new shoe trend. Lawrence was early to styling The Row's caged jelly sandals last summer; she likewise had a head start on Adidas' low-profile Taekwondo boxing sneakers. With her latest pair of clogs, Lawrence has left societal standards of shoe beauty in the past. She's instead paving the way for an ugly-shoe future—one step at a time.
