REVEALED: Why Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin split up
Dakota Johnson reportedly broke up with Chris Martin because she was sick of waiting around for her ex-partner to set a wedding date.
The Fifty Shades of Grey star and Coldplay singer have been dating since 2017 and sparked engagement rumours during 2020, but last week reportedly called off their eight year on and off again relationship for the second time.
A source told Page Six that Johnson broke up with Martin because she 'was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding'.
Another insider added that 'They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids,' which comes after a different source told The Sun their age gap posed a problem in raising children.
'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 said.
'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 claimed their relationship has actually 'been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official.' Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal star in Materialists. Credit: Supplied
Neither Johnson nor Martin has commented on their split, but they seemed to be friendly recently based on Martin plugging his ex's new movie, Materialists, in which she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
At the end of a concert on his band's Music of the Spheres World Tour in Las Vegas, he took a minute to give Johnson what sounded like a subtle shout-out.
'Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists. We love you,' he said in a video obtained by DeuxMoi.
While the person who filmed the video claimed the pair were still going strong, the nice message came amid reports they had split, with a source telling People that it 'felt final this time.'
The pair were last spotted in Malibu together on May 16.

Arnold Schwarzenegger attends red carpet with all five kids - as son Joseph Baena is seemingly snubbed
Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated Season 2 of 'FUBAR' with his kids — but one was seemingly snubbed during the event. While all five of the actor's children attended the red carpet premiere of the action series Wednesday in Los Angeles, the 77-year-old posed with them in two separate groups. Arnold first took photos with Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher Schwarzenegger, whom he has with his ex-wife Maria Shriver. Katherine's husband, Chris Pratt, also appeared in the pictures. The family of six smiled for the cameras while surrounding the former governor. Arnold then posed with his son Joseph Baena. He had the 27-year-old with his family's housekeeper, Mildred Baena, following an affair during his marriage to Shriver. While none of his other children took photos with their half-brother, Arnold and Joseph didn't appear to be bothered by it. The actor smiled and proudly posed alongside his look-alike son and later spoke about the possibility of working with Patrick, 31, who recently starred in Season 3 of 'The White Lotus.' 'Well, it could be in the future. I don't know,' he told Extra. 'If there's a good script, you will, of course, think about that, but right now, just let him go and do his own thing. He's doing it very well. He's on a good ride right now. He's very popular. People come up to me now and just say, 'Hey, here's my contact.' And I say, 'Well, thank you… What do you want me to do with this?' ' ' 'No, no, no it's not for you…,' ' Arnold added. ' 'Give it to Patrick.' ' The interviewer, Terri Seymour, then floated the idea of the father-son duo working with his son-in-law, Pratt, 45. 'Could easily be… Who knows,' Arnold replied. In 2011, Shriver, 69, filed for divorce from Arnold following 25 years of marriage after finding out about his affair. Just this year, the author opened up about that 'brutal' moment. In her new book, 'I Am Maria,' published in April, Shriver detailed that the news of Arnold's infidelity came after she had just lost both her mom and dad. 'I was consumed with grief and wracked with confusion, anger, fear, sadness and anxiety,' she penned. 'I was unsure now of who I was, where I belonged. Honestly, it was brutal, and I was terrified.' Shriver added, 'As I sat on my hotel room floor in the dark, alone with tears streaming down my face, I thought to myself: Maria, this doesn't have to be the end of you.' Looking back at that difficult time in her life, Shriver concluded, 'I've also had to come face to face with other misguided beliefs — about aging, about being alone. I used to believe that if you didn't have a partner, you must be unworthy and unlovable. I've learned that nothing could be further from the truth.' This isn't the first time that Joseph has been seemingly snubbed by his half-siblings. The same thing happened at the first season premiere of 'FUBAR.' Meanwhile, in 2023, a source told Page Six that Joseph has a good relationship with Arnold but isn't close with the other children. 'The other kids don't love Joe,' the insider alleged after the event. 'It's a shame as he's a really good kid, and Arnold has always treated him like all his other kids — very fairly. But for whatever reason, the other kids take [the affair] out on Joe.' In March, Joseph got candid about choosing to go by his mother's surname. 'I think the main thing is I'm trying to do things on my own,' he told 'Good Morning Britain.' 'My family is very big in supporting from afar and not being so hands-on, I really appreciate that. I think it's really important growing up as a man to do things on your own. To figure it out, that's what I've been doing,' he added. These days, Joseph is also following in his father's footsteps as he is starring in the upcoming film 'Gunner.' 'I've been working really hard,' he shared. 'It was such an honor to be on the same film as Morgan Freeman, as Luke Hemsworth. Luke is amazing, they're both amazing actors.' Meanwhile, his half-brother, Chris, also 27, debuted his drastic weight loss in May. 'It was a big process,' he said while at the Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles, per People. 'I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities.' It was a long journey for Chris, who had tried to lose weight for many years. 'I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school,' he recalled. 'It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error.' Originally published as Arnold Schwarzenegger attends red carpet with all five kids - as son Joseph Baena is seemingly snubbed

Yungblud 'needed' to go home for new album
Yungblud "needed" to record his latest album near his family. The 27-year-old singer worked on Idols in Leeds, North England, just a few miles from where he grew up, because he wanted to be around people who didn't care about his stardom and aren't afraid to give him their honest opinions. He explained to The Sun newspaper: 'I needed to go back north, to family. Because when you write a record with family, they don't give a f*** about hits, they don't give a f*** about radio. "All I want is the truth out here. My mum will tell me when I've been a d***.' The Hello Heaven, Hello singer wanted the record to sound "unmistakably British". He said: 'I love British music, British art — and I'm so happy to be British. I don't think there's enough British music at the forefront of the British music industry right now, so I wanted to make a record that sounded unmistakably British.' Idols, Yungblud's fourth LP, is something he started writing four years ago after his album Weird! topped the charts but he admitted the people around him tried to get him to work on something else in order to capitalise on his commercial success, but he's proud he figured out his direction on his own. He said: 'I was dissuaded from doing Idols after Weird! because Weird! was so commercially successful. 'I went and worked with a load of songwriters — and when you do that, you've got seven people a week telling you what Yungblud should do next. I had to figure that out for myself. 'I didn't want to make vapid songs that sound great on the radio. Yeah, we've got a couple of f**king radio bangers on this record, but I wanted to make one album that's a through line — classic and timeless. "There's no gimmicks, man. None. This is me leaving everything on the table, showing the world what I can do. "That's why I orchestrated everything. I did everything I could to make it as deep and five-dimensional — lyrically and musically — as I possibly could.' 'I've been all over the world and spent a lot of time in America, but for this album I needed to come home."
