Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are still going strong! The couple knows how important it is to spend quality time together before someone leaves on a trip, and Johnson is currently in France for the Cannes film festival. Before she flew overseas they were spotted recharging in Malibu on May 16, hitting up a yoga class.

 It’s a quiet but telling moment for the longtime couple, who sparked breakup rumors in 2024.

Chris and Dakota - still going strong

While Johnson and Martin have been together since 2017, they keep things low-key and private and have never done a red carpet together. The Mirror even reported in March 2024 that the couple had been engaged for years, which they have never confirmed. 

A few months later, in August, they sparked breakup rumors, but a rep confirmed to E! News they were “not true,” and “they are happily together."

In a December interview with Rolling Stone, he opted not to talk about the engagement rumors or relationship, telling the outlet, “It is important to say that [romantic love] is such a big factor in everything, even though it feels right to keep it precious and private; I’m not denying its power.”
