Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin split: Sources are dropping more info on why the couple actually broke up
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are over after eight (on-and-off) years together, and there's more information about about the why of it all. By which I mean sources are out here telling Page Six that Dakota "was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding."
Oh and another insider added that "They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids," which falls in line with what a source told The Sun.
Ahem:
"They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it... They made some beautiful memories as a family and it'll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship but they will do it."
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail spoke to someone who claims Dakota and Chris' relationship has actually "been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official."
"Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much," they explained. "Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore. Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them."
Neither Dakota nor Chris have commented on their split, but they do seem to be amicable based on Chris shouting out his ex's new movie The Materialists.
Cosmopolitan UK contacted representatives for Dakota and Chris for comment.

Dakota Johnson slams Hollywood bosses: Too focused on 'remaking the same things'
Dakota Johnson thinks Hollywood is in a "bit of a mess" because studios want to focus on remakes and sequels. The Materialists actress suggested people making decisions in the industry "don't know anything" about movies and just want to capitalise on the success of one project, rather than taking a risk and offering audiences "fresh" new stories. Appearing on YouTube series Hot Ones, host Sean Evans asked her why she feels 'Hollywood is so risk-averse,' as someone who has seen the industry 'up close and personal.' She said: 'I think it's hard when creative decisions are made by committee and it's hard when creative decisions are made by people who don't even really watch movies or know anything about them, and that tends to be what's occurring a lot. "When something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things, but humans don't want that. They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?' Dakota recently insisted her film Madam Web's poor performance wasn't her fault because the film - in which she played Cassie Web, a paramedic who develops psychic abilities following an accident - had "turned into something else" after she signed up for the project. She told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: 'It wasn't my fault. There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way. 'And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.' Dakota insisted she doesn't "have a Band-Aid over it" and isn't too worried about the experience. She said: 'There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' Dakota previously suggested she wouldn't make another superhero film following her experience on Madame Web. She told Bustle: 'I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don't make sense in that world. And I know that now. 'Sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it's one thing and then as you're making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you're like, 'Wait, what?' "But it was a real learning experience, and of course it's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don't understand.'

Nicola Peltz And Brooklyn Beckham Reportedly Hire Prince Harry And Meghan's Lawyer Amid Family Rift
Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have reportedly hired the same lawyer used by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to help them with their "reputation management." This comes amid reports that the young couple bonded with the Sussexes over similar experiences with their in-laws. Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have particularly been in the news lately as their relationship with David and Victoria Beckham has become more strained. According to the Daily Mail, Nicola and Brooklyn are growing concerned about the various reports about them on the internet and are trying to protect their reputation. This has seemingly led the duo to hire British solicitor, Jenny Afia, who works for Schillings law firm. The Duchess of Sussex is said to have also given a referral after Brooklyn and Nicola met the US-based royal and her husband at a party in Montecito, California, in early May. Sources now claim that the lawyer's appointment has prompted "much amusement," as David and Victoria Beckham are allegedly not on good terms with Harry and Meghan. Another source elaborated more on the latest development, noting that Nicola and Brooklyn took the "drastic" decision due to recent headlines about them. "You couldn't really make it up, first Brooklyn and Nicola cosy up together and realise they have quite a lot in common, and then all of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer," the source told the Daily Mail. They continued, "Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything, and they have taken this rather drastic action." "For the Beckhams, the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that," the source added. "The two couples are very close indeed." Three weeks ago, the Sussexes had an intimate dinner party with Brooklyn and Nicola in Montecito, hosted by Brian Robbins, chief executive at Paramount Pictures. While the event raised eyebrows due to the ongoing tensions within the Beckham family, it was confirmed that the plans were made before the public fallout between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria. During the dinner party, Meghan reportedly felt a strong sense of empathy toward Nicola, as both women have experienced similar challenges navigating strained family dynamics under the spotlight. A source told The Sun that during the dinner, Meghan and Peltz shared a heartfelt conversation, bonding over how they've "been positioned in the media as home-wreckers — the women to tear apart their husbands' families." "Meghan had a lot of sympathy for her, and said there was shared common ground," the insider revealed. "They didn't meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence." David and Victoria once shared a close friendship with Harry and Meghan, even attending the couple's royal wedding in 2018. They reportedly went so far as to offer Harry and Meghan use of their Beverly Hills home as a private retreat not long after the royal wedding. However, the relationship between the two couples has since cooled. According to reports, tension arose when Meghan allegedly suspected Victoria of leaking personal information to the media, a claim that created significant friction. A source told The Sun that Meghan voiced her concerns to Harry, suggesting Victoria was the source of a leak. The source noted that Harry reached out to David in an attempt to clear the air, stating: "Harry is very protective of Meghan, and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David. Harry was very polite, but obviously, it was a pretty awkward exchange, and David was mortified." Recently, a video of Brooklyn and Nicola riding a motorbike sparked concerns. A source told the Daily Mail that Brooklyn's appearance in the video was alarming as he is privately known to detest being filmed, and would only do it if he had to. In the video, he was seen riding a motorbike with Nicola, seemingly showing he's siding with her in the bitter feud with his family and would do anything for her. "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby," Brooklyn wrote in the caption of the clip. This has now raised suspicion among his loved ones as his parents fear he is under Nicola's control. "Brooklyn is now being referred to as 'the hostage.' He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola, and it is heartbreaking," an insider close to the situation told the news outlet. "Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside," they continued. "He's soppy and he's a romantic, but that video just isn't him. He hates all of that stuff, so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it."
