Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have given fans a rare glimpse into their relationship, squashing any rumors about a breakup with a public outing in Mumbai.
The couple, who have been romantically linked since 2017, were spotted holding hands and sharing smiles while enjoying some time together in India on Friday, January 17. Martin, 47, is currently in the city with his band Coldplay, as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, performing to sold-out crowds.
In the photos, Martin was dressed casually in a long-sleeved gray shirt, black pants, white sneakers, and a black graphic baseball cap. Johnson, 35, kept it simple yet stylish, sporting a black tank midi dress paired with a gray sweater tied around her waist and black sneakers. She waved to the camera, radiating happiness as they walked hand in hand.
The two first met in 2017, and their relationship became public in January 2018, when they appeared together at Stella McCartney’s Autumn 2018 Collection event. Since then, they’ve mostly kept their relationship private, though fans have often speculated about their status.
In March 2024, PEOPLE reported that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for years, but were in no rush to marry. Rumors of a possible breakup had surfaced in the summer, but a rep for Johnson quickly denied them, stating that the couple was “happily together.” A source close to them added, “They’ve had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now.”
In a December 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, Martin described Johnson as one of his “best friends,” though he preferred not to delve into the details of their relationship. However, he did mention that the two recently listened to Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour album together, further highlighting their strong connection.
Martin, who shares two children, Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, has always kept his relationship with Johnson relatively private, only occasionally sharing glimpses into their personal lives. Their public outing in Mumbai and recent statements reaffirm their strong bond, leaving fans eager for more updates on this low-key yet enduring Hollywood couple.
