Insiders Claim Which One ‘Is Absolutely Lost’ Without the Other Between Exes Chris Martin & Dakota Johnson

People have been wondering for a while now how Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are doing after the breakup. While Johnson has been promoting movies left and right, and making quips about dating again, all eyes have also been on Martin. While everyone has been talking about the incident where the former Astronomer CEO, Andy Bryon, was caught cuddling his head of HR on the Coldplay kiss cam, fans are wondering how Martin is handling the breakup. Well, insiders claim he’s not doing great.

There was his peculiar jewelry choice, plus his emotional “Sparks” performance, and now, insiders alleged to Heat World UK that he really wants a second chance with Johnson.

“Chris is absolutely lost without her. He didn’t realise how much he depended on Dakota until she walked away, and now he’s struggling in a big way.”

“He’s been trying to call her, sending messages, trying to start things back up but she’s not really responding the way he’d hoped,” they added. “He’s been pouring his heart out to mutual friends, asking what he can do to fix things. He’s doing anything he can to get back in her good graces and is begging for one more shot.”

Now, no one knows what’s going on behind closed doors in any relationship, but insiders have been quite adament that it’s been a struggle.

For those who don’t know, Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 after being set up by mutual friends. They didn’t confirm their relationship until a year later, but then, there was a rumor that they briefly broke up in the summer of 2019. However, they quickly reconciled, and they moved in together in 2021. While we don’t know the exact time they got engaged, many sources claim it was years ago, but the two weren’t too eager to set a date. But the engagement became public at the beginning of 2025.

Sadly, Martin and Johnson seemingly called it quits for good in June 2025. A source spoke to The Sun about what led to their recent breakup, saying, “They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she’d expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.”
