Dakota Johnson is easing back into the dating scene nearly five months after ending her long-term relationship with Chris Martin. The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' star, who split from the Coldplay frontman in June 2025, is said to be taking things slow and enjoying a renewed sense of calm and happiness.
Dakota Johnson's Relationship with Chris Martin
According to a source close to the actress, Dakota Johnson has started dating again and appears content with where she is in life. Those close to her say that her relationship with Martin was often unpredictable and that, although she had once hoped they would make things work, she now seems lighter and more at peace since the breakup became final.

The former couple's separation was confirmed in early June after nearly eight years together. Johnson, 36, and Martin, 48, were first romantically linked in 2017 and were last photographed together in mid-May, just weeks before news of their split surfaced.
Friends of the 'Persuasion' actress describe her as being in a strong emotional place, noting that she feels busy, fulfilled, and ready to focus on herself and her growing career.

The breakup reportedly followed years of on-and-off engagement rumours. Sources previously shared that the two had been engaged for some time but were never in a rush to marry. Insiders also revealed that the decision to part ways wasn't entirely surprising, as the couple had been facing ongoing issues for a while.
