It is a no-brainer that Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin make an adorable couple. The two have kept their relationship under wraps, but there have been instances when it was difficult to believe that the two were in love. After parting ways with ex-Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris was rumored to be dating Dakota in 2017, and the two have been going strong.
Both Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are averse to talking about their relationship. In a rare instance, Chris referred to the actress as his partner during a podcast while talking about SubPacs in March 2023. Now, Dakota Johnson has referred to the Coldplay singer as a partner while talking about how her beau calms her down during hard times.
