Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin reportedly split after nearly eight years together — for two reasons.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, called it quits because of their age gap and the topic of having children, a source told the US Sun.
“Dakota has been desperate for her and Chris to work out for years, and every time they broke up she was devastated and in tears,” the insider stated.
“Even some of Dakota’s team would have to console her when they were apart and she could never move on. She really loves him and his children, and he deeply loves her, but things were just never lining up for them and it was very up and down,” the source added.
“They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She’d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.”
The source told the outlet that Johnson and Martin had been “back and forth on issues for years” and had discussions about everything, including children.
“They made some beautiful memories as a family and it’ll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship but they will do it,” the insider claimed.
Page Six has reached out to reps for both Martin and Johnson for comment.
On Wednesday, news surfaced that the couple, who began their on-again, off-again relationship in 2017, had split.
A source told People that the breakup felt “final this time.”
Three years after the “Hymn for the Weekend” singer separated from ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow in 2014, he was spotted on a sushi date with Johnson in Los Angeles.
In January 20218, they were then seen attending a star-studded fashion show together in the City of Angels.
As their relationship blossomed, the “Madame Web” star got close with Martin and Paltrow’s two kids — Apple, 21, and Moses, 19 — and even vacationed with them several times.
The couple was rumored to have called it quits in June 2019. However, they reconciled and sparked engagement rumors the following December when Johnson was spotted with a massive emerald ring on that finger.
An insider told Page Six last March that the pair had actually been engaged for six years, though another source told People they were “in no rush to get married.”
Last August, when breakup rumors began to surface again, Johnson’s rep insisted that the duo was “happily together.”
The “Fifty Shades Freed” actress confirmed what her rep said by flashing her emerald engagement ring at the paparazzi.
