Are Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Still Dating in 2023?
As the actress is celebrating her birthday today, people are wondering if her boyfriend of many years will be there to congratulate her.
Apparently, 2023 has not been the best year for love, as numerous celebrity couples have decided to part ways. Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, and Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are just the beginning of the list. Thankfully, there are stars who continue to shine as beacons of love in this year's turbulence.
Dakota Johnson has recently been spotted at Chris Martin's concerts in California. The two have been in a long-term relationship for quite some time. However, given that they have predominantly kept it out of the public eye, many people have been wondering if the celebrities are still together.
Private and Happy
The heartthrob frontman of the Grammy-winning British rock band Coldplay, Chris Martin, has been romantically involved with several Hollywood stars. For instance, he was married to Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he had two children.
A year after their divorce in 2016, Martin met Dakota Johnson, and the two immediately hit it off. They have been together since then but have kept their relationship quiet and away from public scrutiny. Therefore, when asked about their romance in a 2018 interview, the Fifty Shades of Grey star declined to comment, stating that she was simply happy. It seems that Chris and Dakota are still happily together in 2023.
Childhood Trauma
If you're surprised that Dakota Johnson is so protective of her private life, you shouldn't be. The daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, the actress experienced the highly publicized divorce of her parents firsthand as a child. She is all too familiar with the repercussions of public exposure. So, it's only natural that Dakota would want to keep her private life private.
'Maybe I think about relationships like that differently because I grew up in my family,' Johnson told Vanity Fair about her relationship with Chris Martin and his children. 'We were all cool. ' With each other, she means. 'Obviously, there were times where it was not cool, but I experienced that, so I don't want that in my life. I don't want any kids to experience anything like that. It's better to be kind, and it's also really nice that everybody actually really loves each other and has each other's backs.'
