Celebrity split: Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin call it quits

All signs point to Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin deciding to break up. "They’re both busy people, Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don’t naturally intertwine with each other. They wanted it to work but it just hasn’t," reports a source close to the couple.

Unfortunately, it seems that the rumours circulating about a crisis in the relationship between Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin were not exaggerated, and the couple has indeed decided to part ways after seven years together. The first "alarming" sign was recent photos of the actress with a colleague from the industry.

Reports of "trouble in paradise" for Johnson and Martin have returned to the media repeatedly over the years, each time proving untrue. Now the matter seems more serious, and it's all because of the latest photos of Dakota taken in Malibu, where you can't find the diamond engagement ring on her finger that she had previously not parted with.

Another telling sign is that the celebrity did not appear this year at a single Coldplay concert, even though she faithfully supported her almost-husband during his performances until recently. The busy artist continues a world tour that will last until November.

MailOnline has confirmed reports of the broken engagement. A source for the website claims that the feelings between the actress and the musician waned some time ago. The lovers tried to save their relationship, but their efforts were in vain. The portal reports that this time, they've broken up for good.

Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work - claims someone from the couple's close circle. They’ll always have love for each other but they’ve both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term. They’re both busy people, Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don’t naturally intertwine with each other. They wanted it to work but it just hasn’t, and they’ve now accepted it is best to move on.

So far, neither of the interested parties has confirmed the media reports about the breakup. Are you surprised that the famous Hollywood "it couple" didn't stand the test of time?
