Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson split 'for final time' after eight year relationship
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and his fiancée actress Dakota Johnson have reportedly gone their separate ways.
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly split for the 'final time' after eight years together. Insiders have claimed that the pair, who first started dating in 2017 and secretly got engaged in 2020, have gone their separate ways for good. One source has alleged that "it feels final this time" for the Fifty Shades of Grey star, 35, and the Coldplay singer, 48.
The former fiancées were last seen together two weeks ago in Malibu, back in May. Back in August, the couple, who have a 13-year age gap were hit by split rumours, the Mirror reports.
A source said at the time: "They'll always have love for each other but they've both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term." A spokesperson however has denied the split, stating: "They are happily together."
Dakota has previously referred to Chris' two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow as her "stepchildren".
The actress previously said: "I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart. How do I feel about motherhood?
"I'm so open to that. I've gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything life has to offer.
"And especially being a woman, I'm like: 'What a magical f*****g thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience.
"If that's meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it. We're not here for very long, so if I'm meant to be a mother, bring it on."
Chris and Gwyneth share their two kids Apple, 19, and Moses, 17.
The former husband and wife have stayed good friends despite divorcing in 2016 and the Iron Man actress has also previously shown her support for Chris and Dakota's relationship.
Gwyneth, 52, said: "I love her. 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."
The Materialists star recently discussed her new film, which also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, in an interview.
While she didn't directly discuss her own relationship with Chris, she did make a comment about love and connection.
She said: "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".

Dakota Johnson reveals savage revenge on friend's ex amid her own split from Chris Martin
Dakota Johnson revealed the savage revenge she took on the man who had 'broken her friend's heart.' The Fifty Shades Of Grey actress, 35 - whose shock split from Chris Martin was confirmed this week - opened up about her loyalty to her pal while taking a lie detector test for Vanity Fair. At one point, the topic was brought up when the star was asked, 'You once sent a man who broke your friend's heart a gallon of gorilla s**t. Can you confirm or deny that this happened?' Johnson paused to take a deep breath before sharing, 'I mean there's no way he would watch this. So, yes I did do that. It's been quite a while - it's been some years.' The beauty was then questioned how she was able to order and send such an item, with Dakota quickly answering, 'S** 'You can order any kind, any size,' she further explained before the person working the polygraph test said that the Hollywood star was telling the truth. Johnson appeared for the Vanity Fair clip to promote her upcoming romantic comedy Materialists - which also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. It also comes just days after it was revealed that both she and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin have officially gone their separate ways following eight years of dating. The former couple were first romantically linked back in 2017 and became engaged a few years later in 2020. The actress had also developed a close bond with his two children Apple, 21, and Moses, 19 - whom the singer shares with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. A source recently told 'Their relationship has 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. '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.' The insider added, '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.' The source also stated that Johnson and Martin could possibly rekindle their romance in the future but explained that currently 'being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.' has reached out to representatives for Johnson and Martin for comment but did not immediately hear back. Not long after news of their breakup surfaced, the real reason behind the split also came to light. A separate insider told The Sun this week, 'Dakota wanted this relationship to work. She not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful. The decision to end things was amicable, but Dakota is finding it hard. 'Over the past year, it became clear that their relationship had stalled and wasn't moving forwards.' The pair's busy careers and schedules made it difficult for the stars to settle down together. 'Settling down, as in Chris properly taking his foot off the pedal, isn't going to happen. And, ultimately, it was one of the many straws that broke the back of them,' the source continued. Along with becoming close to his children, Dakota also developed a friendship with Paltrow as well over the years. Gwyneth and Martin initially tied the knot back in 2003 but their divorced was officially finalized in 2016. Despite the split, both Paltrow and Johnson will still remain close and in each other's life, per People. An insider told the outlet that the Iron Man actress 'fully intends on maintaining that bond' with Dakota. The two actresses 'have grown close over the years and Gwyneth even considers Dakota family' and the pair also have 'genuine mutual respect' for each other. 'They both grew up in the spotlight, have been in the business for years, and really relate to each other's experiences.' Last year, rumors of a split between Dakota and Chris began to circulate but a source at the time told People that they were still 'happily together.' The insider added, 'Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now.' Johnson has since been filtering through a busy schedule as she promotes her latest movie Materialists - which is set to release this month on June 13. The premise is: 'A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex,' per an IMDB synopsis. During a recent interview with Deadline, Dakota opened up about the romantic comedy and having the chance to work with both Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. 'Chris and Pedro were wonderful. They're both pretty funny dudes. They both really make me laugh. I really make Chris laugh, which I like a lot. And Pedro and I were friends before, so just being able to hang out all day was really fun.' She added, 'Because when you're on set, you're just like, "Oh, I'm in movie prison and I can't do anything, and I can't see anybody and I live on set." So, it was just so fun to have a friend there. But they're both, I think, really wonderful in this movie.'

Freddy Brazier announces he's going to rehab to 'get clean' after sad fallout with dad
Freddy Brazier, 20, has revealed he's going to rehab in Spain to get clean after battling a smoking addiction since age 12 Freddy Brazier has announced he is heading to rehab in Spain as he battles a long-standing addiction. The 20-year-old, youngest son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody, revealed he has been addicted to smoking since the age of 12 and is now taking steps to 'get clean.' The move follows reports of a strained relationship with his father Jeff, leading Freddy to leave the family home and move in with his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden, Mirror reports. On Instagram, Freddy opened up about his decision to seek treatment, saying: "I've decided that I will be cutting down and I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I'm in England I won't take getting clean seriously." He described smoking as a "bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction, something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what OK." Yet now, Freddy is determined to turn his life around. "I've found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I'm happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself." His goal is clear. "I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side." Freddy also reflected on his struggle to feel loved, admitting, "I haven't been able to feel loved properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now." He hopes to embrace a new chapter, sharing: "I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father." The young man ended his heartfelt message with a plea for privacy and understanding: "Every day is a new story about me and my Nana and father. It's getting boring now. Mind your business and have a good rest of the week x." Concerns about Freddy's wellbeing have grown this week after news emerged that he had moved out of his father's home to live with Jackiey Budden. Freddy and Jeff had previously been seen sharing a close bond, notably on the BBC series Race Across the World last year. However, their relationship now appears fractured, with Freddy growing closer to his late mother Jade's mother. Reports say Jeff is devastated by the situation and is considering legal action to prevent Freddy and his grandmother from spending time together. Defying his father's wishes, Freddy has continued to share photos with his grandmother on social media. One recent post alarmed fans as he listed the things he hates about himself, including his 'relationship with weed,' 'step parents,' and his inability to love properly. He also mentioned having 'family issues.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

The TikTok video was shared just a day before what would have been Jade Goody's 44th birthday. The late Big Brother star died aged 27 in 2009 after a battle with cervical cancer. Supporters flooded Freddy's post with messages of encouragement. One TikTok user wrote, "Ah man this is gonna be sad to watch," while another said, "Go home son, this is not what mum wanted for you sweetheart." A third added, "Sending you love Fred! Watched you in Race Across the World & you're such a decent lad with so much potential." The tension within the family extends beyond his father. Freddy was absent from his older brother Bobby's 22nd birthday party on Monday, an event reportedly marked by a "sadness" due to his absence. Bobby was said to have spent time with Jeff and his stepmother Kate instead. Freddy was just four when Jade passed away. Since then, Jeff has dedicated himself to raising Freddy and Bobby, striving to provide stability after such a traumatic loss.
