Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly called it quits.

The Coldplay frontman, 47, and the actress, 34, ended their engagement after seven years together, the Daily Mail reported on Friday.

The former couple “have now accepted the relationship is over — and it’s best to move on,” a source told the outlet.

Reps for Martin and Johnson did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The Fifty Shades of Grey star, notably, has not been with Martin during the European leg of his band’s “Music of the Spheres” tour. (She did, however, check out Coldplay’s Glastonbury set in June.)

She was pictured in Malibu, California, earlier this month without her engagement ring.

While it is unclear exactly when Martin proposed, Johnson has been wearing the jewellery on that finger since 2020.

Insiders told Page Six exclusively in March that the pair had been engaged for six years.

The singer began dating Johnson in 2017 following his divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he shares daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 18.

They reconciled in 2019 after a brief split.

Although the duo kept their romance private, Johnson made a rare comment about her partner while addressing her depression in November 2023.

At the time, she credited him with “pulling [her] out of” a low moment.

Johnson has also made headlines over the years for her friendship with Martin’s ex, with her and the Goop founder, 51, holding hands in a photo last year.

Paltrow married Martin in 2003, going on to welcome Apple and Moses in 2004 and 2006, respectively.

The exes “consciously uncoupled” in 2014 and finalised their divorce the following year.
