Dakota Johnson was recently seen wearing her engagement ring, dispelling rumours of a breakup with fiancé Chris Martin. The ‘Cha Cha Real Smooth’ actress, 34, was spotted in Malibu enjoying a day out with friends Jeremy Allen White and Blake Lee. Johnson wore a tan oversized coat and jeans, and her emerald engagement ring was visibly on her left hand.
This appearance comes after speculation that Johnson and the Coldplay frontman, 47, had called it quits. However, the same day these photos surfaced, a representative for Johnson confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple is “happily together.”

The pair was last seen together in June when Johnson attended the Glastonbury Festival to support Martin during Coldplay’s headlining performance. A source told PEOPLE that while they’ve had their ups and downs, the couple is “going strong.”
Johnson and Martin began dating in 2017, three years after Martin and his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow “consciously uncoupled.” Johnson was first spotted with the emerald ring in December 2020, but their engagement wasn’t confirmed until March 2024.

Despite their high-profile careers, Johnson and Martin prefer to keep their relationship private, though they occasionally speak about each other and attend each other’s events. In March 2023, Martin opened up about how Johnson introduced him to a device called a SubPac, which allows people with hearing impairments to feel the vibrations of a concert. He mentioned this on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast, sharing how the device has improved Coldplay’s concerts for hearing-impaired fans.
