Despite rumors saying otherwise, Dakota Johnson are still going strong. The couple, who sparked engagement rumors in March, were said to have been on the outs with sources claiming that they have both “now accepted the relationship is over—and it's best to move on.”

However, shortly after the rumor first broke on Friday, a representative for Johnson refuted claims of a breakup. Per TMZ, “their breakup is not true” and they are still “happily together.”

According to the outlet, Johnson was in the crowd for Martin and his band Coldplay’s Helinski show earlier this month. The actress’s company TeaTime Pictures also produced the band’s recent “feelslikeimfallinginlove” music video. TMZ was told that there was “no solid reason” behind Johnson not wearing her engagement ring during an outing in Los Angeles last week.

Earlier this year, several insiders claimed that the couple got engaged to one another “years ago but were in no rush to get married.” Johnson, 34, and Martin, 47, have had their fair share of ups and downs since they first started dating in 2017. In June, People reported that the pair were “back on and going strong” after rumors surfaced of a potential split.

Johnson and Martin were first linked soon after the Coldplay frontman’s “conscious uncoupling” from Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he shares two children, Apple, 20, and Moses, 18. The Martin-Paltrow-Johnson blended family get on well with one another. This year, the Fifty Shades of Grey actress spent Thanksgiving with Martin, Paltrow, and their two children in the Hamptons.

“I love those kids like my life depends on it,” Johnson said of Martin’s teenagers in March. “With all my heart.” When news of their engagement broke, Paltrow reportedly offered her “full blessing” to the couple.

The actress and musician have been notoriously private about their relationship over the years. In 2019, they were rumored to have split, with sources saying at the time that “There was talk of engagement, but now [Martin] says they have gone their separate ways, which has come as a real surprise to everyone.” A year later in 2020, Johnson was spotted rocking a massive emerald on her ring finger which led to murmurs that the couple were headed for the aisle. So far, neither Johnson nor Martin have directly confirmed or denied the news of their breakup.
