Chris Martin Gives A Nod To Dakota Johnson Post-Split, Fans Get Emotional

June 09, 2025: Even after their reported breakup, Chris Martin is still showing up for Dakota Johnson — and fans are feeling all the emotions. The Coldplay frontman signed off his Las Vegas concert over the weekend with a heartfelt message that’s now making waves online.

“Thank you, everybody! Be kind to each other! And… don’t forget to go see Materialists!” he said, in what many are calling a subtle but powerful shoutout to Dakota Johnson’s upcoming film.

The reaction? Instant ache across the internet. Comments like “This one makes me sad. I was rooting for them,” “Awhn… I loved them together,” and “Good for him! He’s a class act,” quickly flooded fan forums and social media.

Chris, 48, and Dakota, 35, first sparked romance rumors back in 2017 and have largely kept their relationship private. One of their more visible moments came earlier this year when Dakota joined Chris on Coldplay’s India stop for their Music of the Spheres tour in January. They were reportedly engaged in 2020, but recent sightings of Dakota without her ring and her striking appearance on Seth Meyers’ show — wearing what many dubbed a “revenge dress” by Nensi Dojaka — have cemented speculation that the split is final.

Meanwhile, Materialists, a stylish dramedy set in New York and starring Dakota alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, hits theatres on June 13. And if Chris Martin’s parting message is anything to go by, there’s still plenty of quiet respect — and maybe unresolved love — between the former couple.
