Coldplay's Chris Martin And Dakota Johnson Break Up After 8 Years: 'It Feels Final This Time'
Last Updated: They were photographed holding hands in Mumbai during Coldplay's tour in January 2025. During the same trip, the couple also attended the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. After nearly eight years together, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Dakota Johnson have reportedly called it quits. Sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the two have broken up, with one insider noting, 'It feels final this time." Reps for both stars have not commented on the split. Johnson, 35, and Martin, 48, had kept their relationship largely private since first being linked in 2017. However, they were also photographed holding hands in Mumbai during Coldplay's tour in January 2025. During the same trip, the couple also attended the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, marking a rare and spiritual public appearance together. Just two weeks ago, the pair were seen in Malibu, sparking no visible signs of trouble. Earlier this year, an insider revealed to PEOPLE that the couple had been 'engaged for years" but were in 'no rush to get married." Engagement speculation had first surfaced in 2020. In August 2024, when breakup rumors started swirling, Johnson's team had denied the claims, confirming the couple was 'happily together." A source at the time said, 'Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They are balancing things the best they can." Despite their on-again, off-again phases, another source in June 2024 confirmed they were 'definitely back on." Johnson had formed a close bond with Martin's children – Apple and Moses – from his previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow. She once told Bustle, 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart." She also gushed about watching Martin perform: 'I could watch him every day. I feel like I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favourite thing." While no official reason has been shared, sources suggest this breakup feels more permanent than their earlier separations. First Published:

Bengaluru To Maha Kumbh, List Of Major Stampedes In India Since Last Year
A celebration marking RCB's (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) much-awaited IPL victory after 18 long years took a tragic turn as stampedes broke out outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and Vidhana Souda, with at least 11 people feared dead. Thousands of people gathered to celebrate RCB and witness the felicitation ceremony of the team, held by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). However, the celebration soon turned ghastly. Two people died on the premises of the Vidhana Soudha, where the RCB squad proceeded from the airport to meet with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. At least nine others died outside the stadium. In the last year, India has seen at least six major stampedes, taking hundreds of lives. Here is a list: New Delhi Railway Station, February 2025 At least 18 people, including 11 women and five children, died in a stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station on February 15. The passengers were waiting to board trains for Prayagraj, where the Maha Kumbh Mela was held. The incident took place on foot-overbridges connecting platforms 14 and 15, when some passengers slipped while descending, causing panic and a deadly crush. However, according to some sources, delays in train departures and the sale of 1,500 general tickets every hour may have created a chaotic situation at the station; others indicated that wrong announcements about a change of platforms may have created confusion that led to the stampede, PTI reported. Maha Kumbh, January 2025 At least 30 people were killed, and 60 others were injured in a stampede at Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. In the early hours of January 29, ahead of the 'Amrit Snan', a large number of pilgrims turned up for a holy bath on the auspicious occasion of 'Mauni Amavasya', which led to a stampede. Goa Temple, May 2025 At least six people were killed and over 50 injured after a stampede broke out during the annual Lairai Devi jatra (procession) in Shirgaon, North Goa. The incident occurred at the revered Sree Devi Lairai temple, about 40 km from the state capital Panaji, amid a large crowd of devotees who had gathered for the annual festival. Overcrowding and insufficient security management reportedly triggered the chaos, causing a stampede. Tirupati Temple, January 2025 Six people died in a stampede at Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati temple during the distribution of tokens. The incident occurred on January 8 at the Vishnu Niwasam at Tirupati during the distribution of tokens for Vaikuntha Dwara Sarvadarshanam - a special 'darshan' for devotees. Darshan tokens for the 10-day festival were to be handed out from 5 am on January 9. However, thousands of people gathered the night before at counters set up by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which oversees temple operations. The crowd reportedly thronged the ticket counters and became unruly. According to BR Naidu, chairman of TTD, when a gate was opened to assist a woman feeling unwell, the crowd surged forward all at once, leading to chaos. Sandhya Theatre, December 2024 On December 4, the premiere of ' Pushpa 2: The Rule ' at Sandhya theatre in Hyderabad turned ghastly as a massive crowd thronged the venue to catch a glimpse of the film's lead actor, Allu Arjun. According to police, the theatre's main gate collapsed under the pressure of the crowd. The police resorted to lathi charge to control the mob, but the stampede turned fatal, killing a 35-year-old woman and injuring her nine-year-old son. The little boy died in the hospital. Hathras Satsang, July 2024 In Uttar Pradesh's Hathras, a gathering of people at the satsang of Narayan Sakar Hari, popularly called 'Bhole Baba', turned chaotic, leading to the death of 121 people. The organisers of the satsang reportedly sought permission for a gathering of 80,000 people. However, over 2.5 lakh people turned up.

Jagan Mohan Reddy accuses police torture of youth in Guntur district, slams public assault
New Delhi: YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday launched a scathing attack against the Guntur district police, accusing them of 'torturing' three youth over three days and threatening them with electric shocks. Reddy visited the family of Chebrolu John Victor, one of the victims who was publicly assaulted by the police on April 25. e alleged the three youth—Victor, Karimullah, and Doma Rakesh—were humiliated by being made to sit on the road and beaten with batons in full public view. A video of the incident, which surfaced on May 26, triggered widespread outrage. It showed policemen kicking and stamping on the victims, sparking sharp criticism over police excesses. Reddy claimed that the youth were targeted for questioning a local constable who allegedly tried to take Victor's phone and motorcycle keys. The YSRCP leader further alleged that a group of policemen picked up Chebrolu John Victor and Karimullah from Mangalagiri on April 25 and beat them while transporting them to Tenali. Both were detained at a police station that night, where they were subjected to further custodial violence. The following day, they were publicly assaulted on a roadside in the Ithanagar area of Tenali, near a police station. The opposition leader also alleged that, after three days of continuous torture, the police planted a knife in Victor's pocket and summoned two local village revenue officers (VROs) to falsely document that Victor was carrying a deadly weapon. He said a fabricated attempt-to-murder case was subsequently registered against the trio at the behest of the same constable they had earlier confronted. On April 28, Reddy said the police produced the trio in a local court. He urged people to join a protest on June 4, which the YSRCP plans to observe as 'Betrayal day,' marking one year of the TDP-led government in office. Reddy said the police was acting as 'collection agents' for TDP leaders, extorting kickbacks from sectors like liquor, sand, mining, and clubs. He further claimed that false cases are being indiscriminately filed against former YSRCP ministers, MLAs, party leaders, and grassroots workers as part of a larger political vendetta. Meanwhile, TDP MLA N Anand Babu hit back at Reddy, saying he should be ashamed of defending alleged ganja (marijuana) dealers, drug peddlers, and criminal gangs. 'When YSRCP MLC Anantha Babu murdered a Dalit driver named Subrahmanyam and had his body delivered at the doorstep, Jagan didn't even react,' Babu told reporters, recalling a case during the YSRCP regime.
