How Chris Martin supported ex Dakota Johnson after their split

Chris Martin mentioned his ex-fiancee, Dakota Johnson, during his recent Las Vegas concert when he randomly gave her a shoutout on stage.

The love is still there.

Chris Martin supported his ex-fiancee, Dakota Johnson, during one of his recent Las Vegas concerts, days after the couple reportedly split.

As the dad of two was closing out one of Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” world tour shows in Sin City over the weekend, he urged fans to support the actress’ forthcoming romantic comedy, Materialists.

“Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other. Don’t forget to see Materialists. We love you,” Martin, 48, said before exiting the stage, according to a video obtained by DeuxMoi.

In the upcoming film, which is set to be released on June 13, Johnson, 35, stars as Lucy, a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker who finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex.

Martin’s sweet shoutout comes days after news surfaced that he and the Fifty Shades of Grey actress had broken up after nearly eight years together.

A source told People that the break-up felt “final this time.”

An insider told the US Sun that the pair called it quits because of their age gap and the topic of having children.

“They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She’d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life,” the source told the outlet.

Johnson stars in the new rom-com Materialists alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.

The insider told the outlet that Martin – who shares kids Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow – and Johnson had been “back and forth on issues for years” and had discussions about everything.

The Hymn for the Weekend singer and the Madame Web star began dating in 2017, three years after Martin separated from the Goop founder, 52.

Though they were rumoured to have called it quits in June 2019, Johnson was spotted with a massive emerald ring on that finger the following December.

An insider told Page Six last March that the pair had actually been engaged for six years.
