Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin’s alleged breakup after eight years together has stirred quite a buzz online. In the aftermath of the rumoured split, the two stars have taken noticeably different approaches to addressing the speculation. While Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has remained low-key, Dakota Johnson appears to be taking a more candid route.
During a recent appearance on the Today Show alongside her Materialists co-star Chris Evans, Dakota was asked about her dating non-negotiables. Her blunt response, “Like, not an a**hole?” raised eyebrows and seemed to hint at dissatisfaction with her former partner. Host Craig Melvin was visibly surprised, while Chris Evans backed her up with a laugh and applause, saying, “That’s concise. There it is. Nail on the head.”
The remark has since sparked online debate, with many speculating that Dakota’s sharp comment was a subtle dig at Martin.
On the other hand, following the speculation, Chris was seen handling things carefully. At the end of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour concert, Chris gave a subtle shoutout to Dakota as he said to the audience, “Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other. Don’t forget to see Materialists. We love you.”
Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, is set to hit theatres on June 13 and has already generated major buzz thanks to its intriguing love triangle storyline. During a recent appearance on the Today Show, Dakota opened up about the film and also shared her perspective on modern relationships.
Reflecting on societal expectations, Dakota challenged long-held norms around love and marriage. “For a long time, people stuck to these preconceived ideas, when you should get married, how relationships should look, and that divorce is somehow bad,” she said. Questioning these standards, she added, “Why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married at a certain age, or only once? Why?”
In Materialists, Dakota Johnson takes on the role of a New York City matchmaker navigating the messy world of modern love. Speaking about what drew her to the character, Dakota revealed it was the emotional complexity and realism that resonated with her. “Everyone being confused about what the f**k they’re supposed to do with their hearts and what’s the right move. “I found that very honest and just so relatable,” the actress said.
