After six years of being together, Coldplay frontman
Chris Martin
and Hollywood actress
Dakota Johnson
are taking the plunge into marriage. The 47-year-old singer recently proposed to Dakota, and what makes their
love story
even more unique is the full blessing from Chris’s ex-wife,
Gwyneth Paltrow
, and their children, Apple and Moses, reports Mirror.
The couple decided to keep their
engagement
news private for some time before finally sharing it with their close circles. While they aren’t rushing to plan the wedding, they are enjoying the process of making their commitment official, stated the report.
Dakota, known for her roles in “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “Madame Web,” was spotted wearing an emerald green ring on her wedding finger during her 34th birthday celebration in Los Angeles last October. This engagement news comes amidst Dakota’s rare public mention of their relationship and her desire to embrace motherhood. Reflecting on her role as a stepmother to Apple and Moses, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s children, Dakota had told Bustle Magazine, “I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart. How do I feel about motherhood? I’m so open to that. I’ve gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything life has to offer. And especially being a woman, I’m like: ‘What a magical f***ing thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience. If that’s meant to happen for me, I’m totally down for it. We’re not here for very long, so if I’m meant to be a mother, bring it on.”
The couple’s journey began in 2017, a year after Chris ‘consciously uncoupled; from Gwyneth Paltrow. Despite the initial scrutiny, their relationship has grown stronger over the years. Last year, a photo of Dakota holding hands with Gwyneth during an outing made headlines.
