Dakota Johnson stayed silent on her recent breakup with Chris Martin during an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on Thursday.
Johnson instead spoke to the NBC host about her new movie “Materialists,” helmed by director and writer Celine Song — who the actress said she was “obsessed” with after seeing her Oscar-nominated “Past Lives.” Johnson and Meyers also playfully described the new film as a “rom-dramedy.”
The silence comes just one day after news broke that she and the Coldplay frontman split for good following nearly eight years together.
“It feels final this time,” an insider told People Wednesday.
Johnson was seen leaving The Greenwich Hotel in New York City ahead of her late-night appearance.
The “50 Shades of Grey” actress, 35, and musician, 48, began dating in 2017 and they continued their on again-off again romance for almost eight years before pulling the plug on their relationship.
The longtime couple shares a home in Malibu, where they were last photographed together in May.
In January, they were photographed happily holding hands during an outing in India, months after rumors suggested they had broken off their engagement and split.
A rep for the “Materialists” actress denied the breakup speculation at the time.
“The reports are not true,” the rep told Page Six. “They are happily together.”
Later that month, Johnson flashed a gigantic emerald ring on that finger while stepping out for dinner with Jeremy Allen White and Blake Lee in Malibu.
Sources previously confirmed to Page Six in March 2024 that the couple had been engaged for years, opting to keep the romance private.
Though Martin had purchased a ring for the “Social Network” actress, she simply wasn’t wearing it all the time.
“They are in no rush to plan the wedding but are just enjoying making their commitment official,” a source told the Mirror at the time.
Johnson — whose parents are 80s icons Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson — has rarely opened up about the relationship. But in March 2024, the actress shared how she felt about watching the singer perform.
“I love watching him,” she told Bustle at the time. “I could watch him every day. I don’t know how to explain it. I feel like, I don’t know… I’m watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.”
As for Martin’s kids, Apple and Moses, whom he shares with ex wife Gwyneth Paltrow, she clearly shares a bond with them.
“I love those kids like my life depends on it,” Dakota told the outlet. “With all my heart.”
