Chris Martin and his fiancée Dakota Johnson have called off their engagement and split for good after drifting apart, MailOnline can reveal.
The Coldplay frontman, who got together with Dakota in 2017 and got engaged several years ago, is said to have ‘now accepted the relationship is over – and it’s best to move on’.
American actress Dakota, 34, was pictured last weekend without her emerald engagement ring as she walked her dog in Malibu where she used to live with the Coldplay frontman.
She has been repeatedly photographed dancing at Coldplay concerts over the years, but she is currently around 6,000 miles away from Martin, 47, who is in Munich, Germany, on the European leg of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres world tour.
The pair had a brief rumoured split in 2019 which was alleged to be over him pushing for them to have children, but they quickly got back together.
However, the couple appeared to be together in June when a source told PEOPLE magazine that they were still ‘going strong’, saying: ‘They’ve had ups and downs, but now they’re definitely back on.’
But MailOnline has now learned that they have split up for good after trying in vain to find a way of staying together.
A source said: ‘Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work.
‘They’ll always have love for each other but they’ve both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term.
‘They’re both busy people, Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don’t naturally intertwine with each other.
‘They wanted it to work but it just hasn’t, and they’ve now accepted it is best to move on.’
Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota and Martin secretly split up briefly in June but soon reconciled.
