Dakota Johnson Moves On: Embracing Life Post-Chris Martin Split - BABEOfficial 2025

Dakota Johnson Embraces Single Life

Dakota Johnson is taking her time diving back into romance after splitting from Chris Martin in June. The Fifty Shades of Grey star, known for her poise and elegance, isn't rushing into anything serious just yet. "Dakota has been slowly dating again and she's happy," a source revealed, adding that she's finding joy in her newfound independence.

Living together in Malibu, Dakota and the Coldplay frontman shared a life many envied. Yet, after eight years and various ups and downs, they decided to part ways. Before Chris, Dakota had been linked to musician Noah Gersh and actor Jordan Masterson, indicating a history of long-term romances.

“She’s busy, fulfilled, and she’s moved on,” shared a source, highlighting Dakota's current state of mind.

Finding Peace and Professional Success

Breaking up may not be easy, but Dakota seems to have found her groove. "She's in a great place," the insider continued. The two were engaged, with engagement rumors swirling since 2020, though they never seemed in a hurry to walk down the aisle.

On the professional front, Dakota's been thriving. Her film Splitsville, which made waves at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, hit theaters in August to much acclaim. Prior to that, she starred in Materialists, which raked in over $100 million at the box office.

Red Flags and Future Projects

As for what led to the split, rumors suggest Dakota's pet peeves might have played a part. She recently shared that a major red flag for her is men wearing flip-flops. Meanwhile, Chris Martin has been busy too, co-writing an extended version of "Ma Meilleure Ennemie" for the Arcane League of Legends soundtrack.

Looking ahead, Dakota is set to co-star in the psychological romantic thriller Verity next year. With her career soaring and personal life in a balanced state, Dakota is truly in a league of her own.
