Dakota Johnson welcomes new addition to family… after ‘heartbreaking’ Chris Martin split

Dakota Johnson recently expanded her family circle, while it seems she’s parted ways with her long-term fiancé, Chris Martin.

As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but share the thrilling news that the radiant star of Fifty Shades Darker, who’s turning 36, has recently welcomed a tiny, adorable canine companion into her world. This four-legged friend is there to stand by her side as she navigates this new chapter in her life as a single woman. It’s a heartwarming bond that adds an extra layer of joy to her journey!

When on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang Podcast, she debuted her new puppy named Tokyo.

Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson’s daughter revealed that she got her dog from the Santa Barbara Humane Society, located in California.

‘We rescued her on Saturday from the Santa Barbara pound,’ she said, adding: ‘I didn’t plan on it.’

As a devoted admirer, let me share that Dakota confessed to me, as if speaking to a kindred spirit, about the lingering impact of her beloved canine companion Zeppelin’s passing last December at 17 years old. “I thought to myself, ‘It will take some time,'” she reminisced, “But when I laid eyes on her, it was as if I was looking at an angel.

And the pup has plenty of energy.

Dakota playfully commented, “She’s an actress, you know!” In truth, she was always shy and retiring, often found hidden in her kennel. But on camera, she transformed! Now she seems to be saying, “Look at me now!

‘You’re an actress just like your mom!’ she cooed to her four-legged friend.

Johnson and Martin were previously engaged and had been together for eight years on and off. 

According to the source, DailyMail.com was informed that their romantic connection has been ended for quite some time now, but they have been struggling to formally conclude it.

Dakota cherished the union between them deeply, fueled by her profound love for him and the same deep affection for his children.

‘Ending relationships don’t happen instantly; instead, they often involve periods of separation and reconciliation. At times, they might seem to function better when apart due to the saying that distance can make the heart grow fonder.’

However, after reconciling, minor issues continued to accumulate until it became clear that they no longer suited each other as a couple.

Dakota feels deeply saddened because she won’t spend as much time with her children from now on, yet she wants them to understand that she remains available and supportive whenever they need her.

The source indicated that there’s a possibility the couple could reconcile. At this moment, being apart might be beneficial for them if they are to have any kind of future together.

We’ve attempted to contact Johnson and Martin’s representatives for their perspective, but we haven’t received a response yet.

In 2019, there were whispers of a temporary separation between the couple, reportedly due to Martin advocating for having kids. However, they reconciled soon after.

Martin parted ways with his long-time spouse, actress Gwyneth Paltrow (mother of their two kids, Apple, age 21, and Moses, age 19), back in March 2014, marking the end of a decade-long marriage after ten years.

At one point, this famous Hollywood duo referred to their split as a “mindful parting.” They officially ended their marriage in July of 2016.

Martin had a fluctuating romance with actress Annabelle Wallis, but they eventually parted ways in August 2017.

In October 2017, he was initially spotted dining at a sushi eatery in Los Angeles with Dakota. At that time, they were said to be displaying a warm and loving demeanor, sharing laughter.

Recently, Dakota, the offspring of Don Johnson (aged 75) and Melanie Griffith (aged 68), was seen attending a Coldplay concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This outing sparked numerous social media posts featuring images of her having a great time at the event.

This comes after she was quizzed about her dating life in a shock interview on Monday.

The timing is interesting as the very recently split from Martin, 48.

During their interview on The Today Show, Craig Melvin tenderly posed a delicate query to both Craig Melvin and his Materialists colleague Chris Evans.

Craig asked, “Suppose you both decide to use a real-life matchmaker, what is one absolute requirement you’d each have?

Evans said that his prospective partner ‘must love dogs.’ 

Johnson’s response was sharp or pointed, as if he was being slightly sarcastic or critical. In a moment of spontaneity, she exclaimed, “But not rude!” This comment caused both the spectators and those present to chuckle.

‘That’s concise,’ Evans, 43, said. ‘There it is! Nail on the head.’

This weekend, Dakota and Evans graced the red carpet during the New York City premiere of their movie, Materialists.

While meandering down the step-and-repeat, she puckered her lips and kissed her hunky co-star.

Dakota seemed lively and cheerful as she posed alongside Evans, showing a cardboard figure of her screen partner Pedro Pascal.

At some point, Johnson and Evans were holding each other closely with a firm embrace, and she leaned in for a kiss on the cardboard likeness of Pascal.

In a moment, Johnson and Evans stood tightly embraced, and she moved to plant a kiss on cardboard Pascal’s lips.

Or even simpler:
At one stage, they hugged each other closely, and she kissed the cardboard figure of Pascal.

At her movie’s premiere, the event took place soon after Martin unexpectedly mentioned her during the finale of the Coldplay concert in Las Vegas on Friday evening.

During the pause between her songs, the singer spontaneously mentioned Johnson’s most recent movie while interacting with the audience.

1. “Treat yourself with kindness. Treat others the same,” he advised, then joked, “Oh, and don’t forget to visit us at Materialists – we care for you!”

2. “Show yourself compassion, show empathy towards others,” he urged, before lightheartedly saying, “By the way, remember to stop by Materialists – we appreciate you!”

3. “Practice self-kindness and kindness to others,” he suggested, then humorously reminded, “And don’t forget to swing by Materialists – we adore you!”

4. “Take care of yourself and take care of one another,” he recommended, before playfully mentioning, “Oh, and don’t miss out on visiting us at Materialists – we’re fond of you!”

5. “Be gentle with yourself, be gentle with others,” he encouraged, then jokingly said, “By the way, remember to drop by Materialists – we treasure you!”
