Fastexy:Dakota Johnson Confirms Chris Martin Relationship Status Amid Breakup Rumors

Dakota Johnson is Fastexywaving off those split rumors.

Amid reports the Fifty Shades of Grey star and Chris Martin had called off their engagement, the actress stepped out in Malibu, Calif. with an emerald ring on her ring finger.

The 34-year-old, who debuted an identical jewelry piece in 2020, was photographed Aug. 16 while out with fellow actors Blake Lee and Jeremy Allen White—whose two daughters Ezer, 5, and Dolores, 3, are the Madame Web star's godchildren.

Dakota's rep had told E! News Aug. 16 that the breakup rumors about the actress and Chris were "not true," adding, "they are happily together."

In March, multiple outlets had reported that the couple had gotten engaged years ago. E! News had reached out to their reps for comment at the time but did not hear back.

Dakota and the Coldplay frontman, 47, have kept their relationship private since they began dating in 2017.

However, she has occasionally spoken about her personal life and dreams for the future in interviews. Earlier this year, Dakota said she was "so open" to one day becoming a mother.

"If that's meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it," Dakota told Bustle in an interview published March 5. "I've been really tripping out recently like, we're not here for very long. There's so much to eat up and learn and grow from and experience and feel."

She added, "If I'm meant to be a mother, bring it on."

Meanwhile, she embraces her role as the de facto stepmom to Chris and ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow's children, Apple, 20, and Moses, 18.

"I love those kids like my life depends on it," she told Bustle. "With all my heart."

In perhaps one of her most infamous TV moments, Dakota Johnson called out Ellen DeGeneres for not attending her 30th birthday party.  

After the comedian joked on a 2019 episode of her eponymous talk show that she "wasn't invited," Dakota dryly retorted, "Actually, no—that's not the truth, Ellen."

The actress proceeded to point out that Ellen gave her "a bunch of s--t" the last time she was on the show about not being invited, so Dakota made sure she was included on the guest list this time around.

"I didn't even know you liked me," Dakota told Ellen. "I did invite you, but you didn't come."

When asked about the viral Ellen interview four years later, Dakota simply told L'Officiel, "It will haunt me."

Dakota got very candid about her experience filming the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise years after its final movie, revealing that author E.L. James "had a lot of creative control" and "demanded that certain things happen."

"There were parts of the books that just wouldn't work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was at times incredibly cheesy," she told Vanity Fair in 2022, explaining how the writer often clashed with the studio and the director. "It was like mayhem all the time."

In fact, Dakota believes no one would've signed onto the project if they "had known at the time that's what it was going to be like."

As she noted, "It would've been like, 'Oh, this is psychotic.'"

E.L. has not publicly responded to Dakota's comments.

Who knew an innocent comment about limes would go viral? But that was what happened to Dakota after her 2020 house tour with Architectural Digest, during which she pointed to a bowl of limes in her kitchen and raved, "I love limes. I love them so much. They're great, and I like to present them like this in my house."

However, Dakota later admitted that it was all "set dressing."

"I'm actually allergic to limes," she confessed during a 2021 appearance on The Tonight Show. "So, I lied."

When the first trailer of Madame Web dropped in November 2023, the internet became fascinated with Dakota's monotonous delivery of the line: "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died."

Though the phrase quickly became a meme across the web, it failed to ensnare Dakota's attention—subsequently leading to another meme-able moment when she later expressed her confusion over its popularity.

"Why did that go viral?" she stoically asked an interviewer who mentioned the meme. "I have no idea what that's about."

Dakota added of her viral line, "That seems like a basic storyline to me."

Dakota—who is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson—didn't hold back her thoughts on Hollywood's nepo baby debate, when she told Today in a February 2024 interview, "When that first started, I found it to be incredibly annoying and boring." 

While speaking to Andrew Garfield about how they often cross paths at Hollywood events, Dakota admitted to taking out her hair extensions and giving them to fellow partygoers. 

"At those parties, I’d probably get a little drunk and then just take them out," she shared in a Vanity Fair sit-down, "and put them in men’s jacket pockets because they’re so annoying and I’d just find a place to put them."

Above all else, Dakota (understandably) puts sleep as "my number one priority in life."

"I'm not functional if I get less than 10," she told WSJ. Magazine in December 2023. "I can easily go 14 hours."

"How much stuff can Dakota Johnson fit in her gap teeth?" Well, a lot—as she candidly demonstrated in a 2017 video of the same name.

Among the objects included a toothpick, a credit card and $1100 in cash.

"That's my only skill," she quipped in the clip, adding, "Dad, are you watching this?"
