Earlier, the breakup news came as a surprise to fans who have followed their journey since 2017. Earlier in August, Dakota was spotted in Malibu, California, without her engagement ring—a piece of jewellery she had been wearing since 2020. This sparked rumours about the status of their relationship, especially as she was noticeably absent from Martin’s Music of the Spheres European tour.
While the exact timeline of their engagement remains unclear, PageSix reported in March that they had been engaged for six years. However, despite these long-standing rumours, the couple kept their relationship relatively private over the years. They were known for maintaining a low profile, with only occasional public appearances together.
Their relationship, though quiet, had its moments of affection in the spotlight. Chris Martin famously dedicated Coldplay’s hit song My Universe to Dakota during a concert. Meanwhile, Dakota once credited Chris with helping her through a tough period, addressing her battle with depression in November 2023.
The couple was last seen together in June when Dakota attended the Glastonbury Festival in the UK to support Chris during Coldplay’s headlining performance. She was spotted alongside Martin’s children from his previous marriage to actress Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he shares two children—Apple, 20 and Moses, 18. Dakota’s love for Chris’s children was evident when she expressed, “I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.”
