As Coldplay’s Chris Martin prepared to dazzle fans in India with the band’s first-ever stadium concerts in the country, he and fiancée Dakota Johnson took time to soak in the rich culture and spiritual essence of Mumbai.
The couple, aged 47 and 35, were spotted at the iconic Babulnath Temple, an ancient Hindu site, where they participated in a traditional religious ceremony. Social media footage captured the intimate moments of their visit, showcasing Martin conversing with others at the temple and flashing a friendly smile when he noticed someone recording the interaction.
Dakota Johnson, known for her roles in Fifty Shades of Grey and other critically acclaimed films, was seen embracing Indian traditions. In one video, she participated in the custom of whispering a wish into a Nandi bull statue, a symbolic act of prayer and hope.
Fans who encountered the couple during their temple visit were thrilled by the experience. One admirer shared on Instagram, “Meeting Chris Martin, shaking hands, and sharing a laughter-filled moment with him was surreal. This will stay with me forever—it was pure magic.”
Johnson also visited the Siddhivinayak Temple with Indian actress Sonali Bendre during the same weekend, while Martin geared up for Coldplay’s first concert at DY Patil Stadium on January 18.
The show marked the beginning of a three-day spectacle in Mumbai as part of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour. These performances represent a significant milestone for the band, being their first stadium shows in India.
Expressing gratitude and excitement, Coldplay shared a heartfelt message with fans on Instagram. “We are so happy to be here in the City of Dreams for our first-ever stadium concert in India. Thank you for the warm reception, the amazing team, and the incredible fans who made this possible. Tonight is going to be unforgettable.”
During the concert, Martin delighted fans by recalling a familiar face from the temple visit. “I remember you from the temple yesterday,” he said, acknowledging the fan during the show. “I went to some amazing places,” he added, reflecting on the cultural immersion.
Martin and Johnson, who have been romantically linked since 2017, have built a strong relationship over the years. The couple sparked engagement rumors in 2020, and sources confirmed in 2024 that they have been secretly engaged for years. Despite occasional challenges, their bond remains solid.
“Sure, they’ve had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now,” a source shared with PEOPLE. “They both love their careers and are finding the best ways to balance their busy lives together.”
Their time in India has offered a glimpse of not only their enduring connection but also their shared appreciation for new cultures and experiences—setting the stage for an unforgettable chapter in Coldplay’s global tour.
