A shocking new report has revealed that Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin secretly split, but have since reconciled and are now “going strong.”
The fiercely private couple rarely comments on their romance, so it is unknown when the breakup occurred or what brought them back together.
However, there is one person who could have intervened in the separation and it is none other than Chris’ ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow.
Since “consciously uncoupling” from the Coldplay frontman in 2014, Gwyneth has not only remained a friendly co-parent to his children Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, but also a good friend to her ex and a confidant from his on-again, off-again partner Dakota. .
And it wouldn’t be the first time Gwyneth has stepped in before and pulled Chris and Dakota’s on-again, off-again romance off the brink.

Dakota and Chris are said to have had problems in their relationship, but are “going strong” according to People magazine’s sources (pictured together in June 2022).
In 2019, it was claimed that the Sliding Doors star intervened when the couple went through a difficult situation and convinced them to reconcile.

‘The actual saying is, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” meaning that the connections with the people you choose are stronger than the connections with the people you were actually born with.’
Of their friendship, Dakota continued, “I think because I grew up (in a blended family), it’s been more natural, but I really wouldn’t have it any other way.” She really she wouldn’t. I love it. It feels very honest. It feels really authentic…
“No one is hiding anything.”
Since “consciously disassociating” herself from the Coldplay frontman in 2014, Gwyneth has not only remained a friendly co-parent to her children Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, but also a good friend.

Now, Dakota is ready to have children of her own.
She told Bustle: ‘I’m very open to that. I have come to this place where I truly want to experience everything that life has to offer. And especially being a woman, I think: What a magical thing to do.
‘What a crazy, magical and wild experience. If that has to happen to me, I’m all for it. I’ve been really freaking out lately, like we’re not here for long.
‘There is a lot to eat, learn, grow, experience and feel. That includes all the pain, suffering and feeling of helplessness before the world. Most days I feel like the most useless piece of shit.
‘I’m sitting in this stupid chair, talking about this stupid movie, and there are people in unbearable catastrophes, and what can I do? I have this incredible friction in myself.
And then I said, “We won’t be here for long, so if I’m meant to be a mother, go for it.” ‘
The actress has been dating Coldplay frontman Chris since 2017, but watching him perform on stage never gets old.
‘I love watching him. I could see it every day. I do not know how to explain it. “I feel like, I don’t know… I’m watching my favorite thing do his favorite thing,” she explained.
