A body language expert has revealed that Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson looked “distant” and “unnatural” during their last public appearance together, as news emerges that the couple have split.
A source confirmed to DailyMail.com on Friday that the Coldplay singer, 47, and the actress, 34, had called off their engagement after seven years together.
Now UK-based body language expert Judi James has analysed the couple’s interactions since they were last photographed together and sensed some tension between them.
The two stars were last seen together on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in February.
Photographers captured them splashing in the water and sunbathing on the beach.

And while from the outside it looked like they had a great day together, Judi said the Madame Web actress looked “distant” from Chris in many of the snaps.
“Dakota’s body language makes her look distant in some of these poses, while Chris seems to be giving her some worried glances,” Judi said.
‘Their tactile behavior does not seem simple or natural.
Judi noticed that at one point, Chris reached out to try to take Dakota’s hand, but she held it behind her back so he couldn’t grab it.
“And when their hands come together, it seems like there’s no time left to shake them,” Judi continued.
When the two stars finally held hands, Judi said Dakota seemed to be resisting.
“As Chris takes her hand in what appears to be a firm, affectionate grip, he pulls her hand towards his torso, but she appears to keep her distance between them, stretching out her arm rather than reaching out,” Judi added.
‘Dakota’s gaze appears distant in some of these photos, while Chris can be seen looking at her face with an expression of what could be concern.’
Judi also explained how the outfits they wore on their beach date could have been another clue to their impending breakup.
“When their hands come together, it seems like there’s no time left to shake them,” Judi said.

The brunette beauty opted for a tight white one-piece swimsuit, while Chris donned loose-fitting swim trunks.
“Their looks are different. Dakota’s simple white swimsuit shows off her stunning figure perfectly and she moves with total confidence in her body,” Judi said.
‘However, Chris seems to have opted for a pair of baggy trousers, which look less romantic.’
Rumours first surfaced that the couple, who began dating in 2017, had split in May after Chris gave a fan a ride, who then posted on X that the singer was “single”.
However, a month later, a source told People that they were still “going strong,” adding, “They’ve had their ups and downs, but they’re definitely back on track now.”
But a source close to the pair revealed to DailyMail.com that they briefly split earlier this year.

Last weekend, Dakota was photographed without her engagement ring while walking her dog in Malibu, while Chris was 6,000 miles away on his European tour. He was seen in England in June.
And although they said the couple tried to reconcile, they have now ended their relationship for good.
“Chris and Dakota have been working desperately over the past few months to make their relationship work,” they said.
‘They will always love each other, but they have both come to the conclusion that the relationship cannot be sustained in the long term.
‘They’re both busy people, Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments that don’t naturally intertwine with each other.
“They wanted it to work, but it didn’t and now they’ve accepted that it’s best to move on.”
