Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is reportedly struggling after his breakup with long-time girlfriend Dakota Johnson. After dating for eight years, the couple, known for their on-again, off-again relationship, has now gone their separate ways.
Sources say that Martin is finding life difficult without Dakota, while the actress is embracing a “solo chapter” of her life. An insider revealed to RadarOnline, “Chris is absolutely lost without her. He didn’t realize how much he depended on Dakota until she walked away.”
The breakup comes just as Dakota Johnson, who is famously known for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey, has been spotted enjoying some downtime on a yacht, surrounded by friends, including NFL star Tom Brady. The source continued, “He’s been trying to call her, sending messages, trying to start things back up, but she’s not really responding the way he’d hoped.
They’ve broken up before and always gotten back together, that’s their pattern.” However, it seems this time things are different. On the other hand, Dakota is embracing her newfound independence. “She’s letting her hair down and cutting loose, and her friends couldn’t be happier for her,” the source shared.
“She’s enjoying this new solo chapter and focusing on her career and her friendships.” While Chris had hoped for a reunion, it appears that Dakota is committed to her new path. The insider shared that Martin believed that she would eventually return to him, but “Chris thought she’d come running back like before, but no.”
To make matters worse for the Coldplay frontman, Dakota isn’t retreating into solitude after the breakup. “And it’s rubbing salt in the wound because she’s not staying home or hiding out. She’s out there living her best life and being very unapologetic about it,” the source added.
As Dakota relishes her independence, Chris Martin faces the reality of a future without her, marking a significant shift after years of ups and downs in their relationship.
