Dakota Johnson Quietly Quashes Split Rumors with Fiancé Chris Martin by Sporting Engagement Ring

Dakota Johnson has effectively silenced rumors of a split from her fiancé, Chris Martin, by making a subtle yet powerful statement during a recent public appearance. Amid swirling speculations that the Fifty Shades of Grey star and the Coldplay frontman had ended their relationship, Johnson, 34, was seen out in Malibu, California, on Friday, August 16, wearing her emerald engagement ring.

According to People, The actress, who was accompanied by friends including Bear star Jeremy Allen White and Blake Lee, looked effortlessly stylish in an oversized tan coat and bell-bottom jeans. However, it was the dazzling ring on her left hand that caught everyone’s eye, signaling that her engagement to Martin was still very much on.

The sighting comes at a crucial time, as rumors of a breakup had been gaining traction. Fans and media outlets alike had begun to speculate that Johnson and Martin, 47, had called it quits after several months of no public appearances together. But on the same day as her Malibu outing, Johnson’s representative confirmed that the couple is “happily together,” putting an official end to the speculation.

Johnson and Martin, who began their relationship in 2017, have always maintained a low-profile romance, rarely sharing details about their private lives. The actress first sparked engagement rumors in December 2020 when she was seen wearing the distinctive emerald ring, but it wasn’t until March 2024 that their engagement was officially confirmed.

Their most recent public appearance together was in June when Johnson supported Martin at the Glastonbury Festival, where Coldplay delivered a headlining performance. Despite their tendency to stay out of the spotlight, moments like these, combined with Johnson’s recent ring display, offer a rare glimpse into their enduring relationship.

Johnson’s choice to wear her engagement ring amid breakup rumors sends a clear message: she and Martin are still committed to each other. As speculation fades, the couple continues to enjoy their relationship on their own terms, away from the constant scrutiny of the public eye.
