Chris Martin Sends Emotional Message to Dakota Johnson After Breakup

Share:

«Be kind to yourselves, be kind to others… and don’t forget to watch Materialists! We love you!» That’s how Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, closed his latest concert in Las Vegas — with a heartfelt message that fans believe was aimed at Dakota Johnson, his ex-partner of nearly eight years.

Although he didn’t mention her by name, the timing and reference to Materialists — a film starring Johnson — sparked immediate speculation across social media.

Martin’s words came just days before the release of the romantic comedy. The message was captured by fans and quickly went viral after being posted on the popular celebrity account Deuxmoi.

Fans and media alike interpreted it as a sign of support and affection from Martin toward Johnson, despite recent reports of a quiet breakup.

Nearly Eight Years Together

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson began dating in 2017 and were considered one of the most private and steady celebrity couples. While the pair has not confirmed their separation, multiple sources claim they split earlier this year.

Martin’s message suggests a breakup that may have been amicable — or at least marked by ongoing respect and care.

The emotional shout-out came during Coldplay’s sold-out concert at Allegiant Stadium, a high-energy night filled with lights, music, and unforgettable moments. The audience, already moved by the show, was visibly surprised.

What Is ‘Materialists’ About?

Directed by Celine Song, Materialists explores the contradictions of modern love through the story of Lucy, a New York matchmaker played by Dakota Johnson.

She finds herself torn between two men: Harry (Pedro Pascal), a charismatic new candidate, and John (Chris Evans), her passionate ex-boyfriend. One scene — already generating buzz — shows Lucy unexpectedly reunited with John at a wedding, where he offers her a beer and a Coke, her favorite combo. The emotional undertone of the film echoes real-life dilemmas about love, memory, and decision-making.

As Johnson told Variety: “Everyone’s confused about what the hell they’re supposed to do with their heart.”

A Subtle Goodbye, or a Lasting Bond?

Martin’s shout-out felt like more than a plug — it seemed like a moment of vulnerability and emotional closure. Rather than bitterness or silence, his words reflected warmth, admiration, and public support.

In the space where personal life meets artistic expression, Martin’s gesture reminds us that breakups don’t always mean the end of connection.
