Are Chris and Dakota broken up?

Last week, reports claimed Dakota and Chris had ended their relationship after nearly eight years. Dakota Johnson preferred to stay silent on the breakup during an appearance on the chat show Late Night With Seth Meyers.

On the show, Dakota spoke about her new movie Materialists, helmed by director and writer Celine Song, whom the actress said she was "obsessed" with after seeing her Oscar-nominated "Past Lives." Johnson and Meyers also playfully described the new film as a “rom-dramedy”. Materialists is a love triangle that also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.

Dakota Johnson, whose parents are 80s icons Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, has rarely opened up about the relationship. But in March 2024, the actress shared how she felt about watching the singer perform.
