Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin may seem like an unlikely couple, but their relationship has already withstood the test of time. The pair have been reportedly dating since 2017 (although you would be forgiven for not knowing too much about their relationship as they choose to keep it secret). Everything points to a happy and content coupling, but is a demanding work schedule changing that dynamic?
Johnson and Martin recently made headlines after reports emerged that they had broken up: she was photographed without her engagement ring. Fans immediately feared the worst, but a new report from Us Weekly claims they are back together, and that distance made the heart grow fonder.
“Chris and Dakota did break up [earlier this year] just before she went on her press tour for Madame Web,” a source told the outlet, claiming it was “a really difficult time” for the actress. “But the space apart did them good, and when Dakota got back, they got back together.” However, this is not the first time the couple has dealt with breakup rumors.
Why Are Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson Facing Breakup Rumors?
Earlier this month, a rep for Johnson said of the breakup: “The reports are not true. They are happily together.” Despite working on their relationship, a source recently told Life & Style that the couple are struggling with spending so much time apart.
“Chris and Dakota have had their ups and downs, like any couple,” the source claimed. “They spend a lot of time apart due to their respective work schedules — and sometimes, Chris can be a little too switched-off for Dakota’s liking. The distance is tough on them.”
Only time will tell whether Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin can make their relationship work in the long term. Still, considering they have already invested seven years together, there is a good chance they will do all they can to protect their relationship.
