Dakota Johnson Reveals New Family Member After Chris Martin Breakup
Originally appeared on E! Online
Dakota Johnson has caught a new animal in her web.
Less than a week after her breakup with Chris Martin was revealed, the Materialists star shared that she adopted a new puppy named Tokyo from the Santa Barbara Humane Society in California.
"We rescued her on Saturday from the Santa Barbara pound," Dakota told host Amy Poehler during the June 10 episode of the Good Hang podcast. "I didn't plan on it."
The 35-year-old went on to share that she was still coping with the death of her previous dog Zeppelin, who died in December at age 17, when she stumbled upon the brown-and-white haired pup.
"I thought, 'It's gonna be a while,'" Dakota recalled. "But then I saw her, and she's an angel."
And Tokyo is already warming up to her new home. In fact, Dakota—who brought her new BFF to the podcast appearance—noted that the doggo's playfulness inside the recording studio was a new development.

"She's a performer," Dakota joked after Tokyo began sniffing her microphone. "Honestly, she has come alive on camera. She normally hides in the back of her crate. She's really timid. And now she's like, 'Here I am.'"
Addressing her pup directly, she quipped, "You're an actress just like your mom!"
Six days prior to Tokyo's big debut, multiple outlets reported that Dakota and Chris, 48, had called it quits after nearly eight years together.
And while the Madame Web actress has yet to publicly address the split, she has shared what her dating non-negotiable is going forward.
As she told Craig Melvin on the June 9 episode of Today, 'Just like, not an a--hole.'
Another important trait her future partner should probably have? Loving dogs. After all, Dakota has previously detailed the crucial role her late dog played in her life.
'We've basically grown up together," Dakota said of Zeppelin during a June 2024 interview with TalkHouse. "He is extremely smart and sweet and perfect and soulful. He's always been a very healing dog for people, so I made him a certified emotional support animal. Which is just the sweetest thing ever.'
