Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson would have taken another step in their relationship and, after six years together, they would be engaged. According to the British newspaper The Mirror, the engagement took place some time ago, but it was only now that the couple began to share it with their closest circle.

“They have been crazy about each other since day one, so taking this step was inevitable,” a source close to them tells the aforementioned publication. “They are in no rush to walk down the aisle, they are enjoying making their commitment official.”

What’s better, the commitment has the “approval” of Gwyneth Paltrow, ex-wife of the Coldplay leader and mother of his two children, Apple and Moses; with whom she has an excellent relationship. What’s more, last October, the actress herself confessed that she was a very “good friend” of Dakota Johnson, whom she considered “adorable” and a “wonderful person.”

At the moment, neither Chris Martin nor Dakota Johnson have commented on the news of their engagement. Something that is not surprising, given the extreme discretion with which they conduct their relationship.

It was 2014 when Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced to the world that they had decided to “consciously separate” after more than ten years together and two children together. A method that, although it seems that their relationship is going great almost ten years later, only made the leader of Coldplay become even more reserved if possible with his private life.

In October 2017, the first rumors of a possible relationship with the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson emerged, after they were seen together enjoying dinner in Los Angeles. A moment that was repeated just a few months later, when some of the musician’s followers saw Dakota Johnson in the audience at one of his concerts in Argentina.

Since then, there have been several – although few – occasions on which they have been seen together. In these six years, they have not attended any event as a couple, although they have been seen taking walks, going out to eat or playing sports, like a normal couple.

In 2019, the couple took time off and separated over the summer, but reunited shortly after. The two seemed to take a step further in their relationship, becoming more formally engaged and sharing more time with their respective families.

Dakota Johnson is fully integrated into this “modern family” formed by the musician, and she couldn’t be happier. The actress even made reference to her partner’s children, whom she “loves madly as if my life depended on it.” Engagement rumors have been circulating since 2021, without confirmation from either member of the couple.

A few days ago, the actress gave an interview to Bustle in which she talked about her life with Martin and the future, commenting that she was “very open” to becoming a mother soon. “I want to experience everything life has to offer and being a woman, I’m like, ‘What a wonderful thing. What a crazy, magical, wild experience.’ We’re not here long, so if it’s in my destiny to be a mother, so be it”.
