Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin stunned fans during a recent concert when he gave a public shoutout to Materialists, the upcoming film starring Dakota Johnson. This moment caught attention because just days earlier, media reports claimed the longtime couple had split.
In a video posted by Deuxmoi, Chris is seen thanking the crowd mid-performance. He then adds, “Big love to everyone. Don’t forget to see Materialists. We love you,” before heading backstage.
The clip was captioned by the submitter as, “‼️THEY'RE NOT BROKEN UP‼️” sparking fresh online debate.
Fans Speculate About Their Relationship Status
Reactions online were mixed. Some fans believed Chris was simply being supportive despite a breakup. One user commented, “I can totally see him supporting her even after the breakup.” Another added, “You can break up with someone and still be supportive. Look at him and GP [Gwyneth Paltrow].”
However, others were puzzled. “They always seem to be on and off. It’s really impossible to know,” wrote a confused fan.
Breakup Rumors Surfaced Last Week
Just last week, reports circulated that Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson had ended their relationship after almost eight years together.
When Dakota appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers, she didn’t address the breakup. Instead, she focused on promoting her new film Materialists.
Dakota Praises the Director of Materialists
During the interview, Dakota spoke highly of filmmaker Celine Song, who previously directed the Oscar-nominated Past Lives. “I’m obsessed with her,” Dakota said. She and Seth Meyers described Materialists as a “rom-dramedy” — a blend of romance, drama, and comedy. The film features Dakota in a complex love triangle, starring alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
Dakota’s Private Approach to Relationships
Although she is the daughter of Hollywood legends Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, Dakota has kept her personal life, especially her romance with Chris Martin, mostly private. However, in March 2024, she briefly opened up about how emotional it felt to watch Chris perform live.
Chris Martin’s shoutout has left fans wondering whether the couple has reconciled or simply maintained mutual respect. While neither Chris nor Dakota has publicly confirmed or denied the split, this public display has certainly reignited curiosity.
