After dating for over 6 years, actress Dakota Johnson (34) and singer Chris Martin (47) are reportedly engaged.
This exciting news comes with an extra layer of warmth, as Chris’s ex-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and their children are said to be happy for the couple.
According to reports, Chris, who is the lead singer of the band Coldplay, proposed to Dakota and she happily accepted. A source close to the couple shared that they got engaged a while back but kept it private. They are now sharing the news with their close friends and family.
The source also said that Chris and Dakota have been very fond of each other since they started dating and getting engaged felt like the natural next step in their relationship. However, they are in no rush to plan a wedding and are simply enjoying being officially engaged.
This news comes after Dakota recently spoke about her love for Chris’s children, Apple and Moses, whom he shares with Gwyneth. She said she loves them “like her life depends on it.”
It’s worth noting that Dakota and Chris started dating in 2017, a few years after Chris and Gwyneth decided to consciously uncouple, meaning they chose to end their marriage but remain friendly. They made their first public appearance together in 2018 at a fashion event.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
