Dakota Johnson, known for her role in the newly released superhero film “Madame Web,” and her boyfriend, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin, were recently spotted enjoying a serene beach getaway in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The 34-year-old actress and 46-year-old musician appeared to be in high spirits, captured hand in hand as they ventured into the ocean waves on a sunny Monday.
This leisurely vacation follows closely on the heels of the premiere of Johnson’s latest project, “Madame Web,” which made its theatrical debut on Valentine’s Day. The couple’s romance began back in 2017, blossoming after Martin’s well-publicized split from Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he “consciously uncoupled” in 2014, as per reports by Daily Mail.
Their relationship has been marked by a blend of public appearances and private moments, including their debut as a couple at Stella McCartney’s Autumn 2018 Collection event in January 2018. Despite the passage of time, Johnson and Martin have maintained a low-profile approach to their relationship, opting for a quiet life together in their Malibu home.
Their partnership extends beyond their personal lives into their professional endeavors. Johnson directed the music video for Coldplay’s 2020 track “Cry Cry Cry,” showcasing their collaborative spirit. Furthermore, the couple shares a harmonious relationship with Martin’s ex-wife Paltrow, and her husband Brad Falchuk, emphasizing a modern, blended family dynamic. Paltrow herself has expressed admiration for Johnson, describing her as a “wonderful person” and a dear friend.
The timing of their Mexican sojourn is noteworthy, coinciding with the box office success of “Madame Web,” which has garnered significant attention and revenue since its release. The film, in which Johnson portrays a New York City paramedic endowed with clairvoyant powers, achieved a commendable opening weekend performance both domestically and internationally.
In a candid revelation, Johnson admitted during a recent interview with MagicFM that she has yet to watch “Madame Web,” a personal choice she attributes to a form of self-care aimed at avoiding an “existential crisis.” This approach extends to her broader filmography, as she generally refrains from watching her performances.
Looking ahead, Johnson’s professional calendar appears to be open, with no immediate projects announced following “Madame Web.” Martin, on the other hand, is gearing up for a busy summer with Coldplay, including scheduled performances in Athens, Greece, in June, as part of the band’s forthcoming tour.
