Real reason Dakota Johnson, Chris Martin broke up after 8 years

Dakota Johnson reportedly went through a lot before finally calling it quits with long term beau Chris Martin.

Dakota and Martin have reportedly broken up after eight years of being together. The couple has faced split rumors many times in the past two years.

According to sources, the couple, who got engaged in 2020, broke up over lack of commitment by the Coldplay singer. Apparently the Yellow hitmaker wasn’t comfortable with the 50 Shades of Gray actress doing raunchy roles.

A source said: "Dakota wanted this relationship to work. She not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful. The decision to end things was amicable, but Dakota is finding it hard."

"Over the past year, it became clear that their relationship had stalled and wasn’t moving forwards. Having children together didn't seem to be on the cards, and their careers have been pulling them in different directions," the tipster explained.

"Chris has been on tour for three years, his schedule is insane. Settling down, as in Chris properly taking his foot off the pedal, isn't going to happen. And, ultimately, it was one of the many straws that broke the back of them," they continued.

An insider added: "Dakota is on track to spend the rest of her life with Chris. But her friends are asking: Is that really a good thing? When Chris isn't on the road, he insists on Dakota being around him all the time, and so much of this relationship has seen them sequestered from the rest of the world.

"That's okay for a press-shy rock star who has been in the game for 25-plus years. But he's not doing Dakota and her career any favors with this behavior."

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin were first linked in 2017.
