Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin's relationship is still going strong.
Despite ongoing breakup rumors, a representative for Johnson confirms to People that the actress and Coldplay's lead singer are still together. "They are happily together," the rep says about Johnson, 34, and Martin, 47.
Recently, the couple was seen together at the Glastonbury Festival in the U.K., where Johnson supported Martin during Coldplay's headlining performance. Johnson's presence at the festival followed a source's assurance to PEOPLE that their relationship is thriving. "They’ve had ups and downs, but now they’re definitely back on," the source noted, adding that they are "going strong."
The couple was also reported to have been together in Helsinki recently, with Johnson contributing to a video for Coldplay's song "feelslikeimfallinginlove." Johnson and Martin first made headlines in 2017 with a sushi date in Los Angeles, shortly after Martin's divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow in 2016. They became more serious in 2019, with sources describing their relationship as "pretty serious."
Johnson and Martin have generally kept their romance private, with a source revealing in March that they got engaged years ago but have been in no rush to marry. Although they make few public appearances, Martin dedicated the song "Universe" to Johnson during a Coldplay concert in October 2021, saying, "This is about my universe, and she's here."
Gwyneth Paltrow, who shares children Apple and Moses with Martin, has publicly endorsed Johnson. Paltrow told Harper’s Bazaar in 2020, "I love her," and reiterated her affection in a 2023 Instagram Q&A, calling Johnson "an adorable, wonderful person" and stating, "We’re actually very good friends."
