Chris Martin's Confirmed Rumored Relationships Over the Years
The frontman of Coldplay, Chris Martin, has been with quite a few of the beautiful leading ladies in Hollywood. Most famously, he was married to Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow for well over a decade, and was engaged to beloved actress Dakota Johnson. And as many of you know, he and Johnson sadly broke up after eight years together. A source spoke to The Sun that they broke up for two reasons, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.' But did you know he dated another Oscar-winning actress? Or that he's been linked to quite a few other A-listers? So we put on our detective hats and did some digging, and oh boy, there are a lot of rumors. Not only are we going into all the confirmed relationships Martin has been in, but the rumored ones he's been in (and if they're true or not!) Below, check out Chris Martin's entire dating history! More from SheKnows Chris Martin Just Wore a Telling Accessory Amid First Outing Since Dakota Johnson Split Best of SheKnows 17 Movies & TV Shows That Educate About the History of American Slavery 13 Times Meghan Markle Reminded Us So Much of Princess Diana 24 Times Kate Middleton Perfectly Recreated Princess Diana's Iconic Fashion Before he made it big, Martin dated Lily Sobhani, a British live‑events producer, around the time of Coldplay's debut album Parachutes. Not much else is known about their romance, except for the fact that they dated in the early 2000s. Okay, so back in 2000, it was rumored that collaborators Natalia Imbruglia and Chris Martin dated, and some reports claimed it was 2002. Either way, they allegedly dated pre-Paltrow days, but neither has confirmed or denied the romance. Women's Day claimed that Martin was thinking about her a lot, according to sources who alleged this in 2014. And you know the song 'Shiver' from Coldplay? It was rumored to be about her, but Martin denied that. So put that rumor to rest! Gwyneth Paltrow and Martin were together from 2003 to 2016, and during that time, they welcomed two children named Apple, born in 2004, and Moses, born in 2006. But let's rewind a bit! They first reportedly met backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002, but in 2003, they confirmed in December that they were expecting and got hitched. They eloped in a secret ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif, and were happily married for over a decade. Paltrow and Martin announced their separation in 2014, when Paltrow uploaded a post on the Goop website titled 'Conscious Uncoupling.' 'It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been,' she said. 'We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.' But they are super-close to this day, despite the divorce, which was finalized in 2016. You probably remember those rumors of Kate Bosworth and Martin allegedly having an affair in 2009. But y'all, those were totally rumors! Martin's reps even denied it via Fox News. The Alexa Chung rumors started over a late-night milkshake at Glastonbury in 2013. Eyewitnesses and insiders alleged that it was the beginning of a romance, but a spokesperson for Martin denied the claims. 'They are definitely not dating,' they told The Metro via The Independent. Kylie Minogue and Martin were at the center of dating rumors in 2015, but no dating here! They're actually the best of buddies! 'I was a Coldplay fan from, I mean Millennium. I may have worn out the CD,' Minogue said to UsWeekly, talking about the letter he sent her. 'I was just so, there's a mutual respect and admiration and friendship and love there.' Did you know that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin dated? Because we definitely forgot about this. They reportedly started dating around June 2014 after she went to a Coldplay performance in London. Per People, they split for the first time three months after they were first linked together. However, they got back together soon after, but they broke up for good in Aug 2015. Sources claimed to People, 'He's crazy about Jen but wants to keep his own schedule and be able to do what he wants when he wants to do it.' And sources also claimed Lawrence got 'tired of Chris being so noncommittal.' In 2015, Martin and Annabelle Wallis started dating after they met through mutual friends. 'He has moved on quickly and has been seeing Annabelle Wallis for about a month,' an insider told Us Weekly about the relationship between the singer and the 'Peaky Blinders' actor. 'He visited her while she was filming in Vancouver and really likes her.' They broke up in 2017 due to their crazy scheduling. However, they got back together two months after that in Aug. 'Their crazy work schedules make it difficult to see each other sometimes and they drifted apart. But recently they have been making more of an effort and have decided to give things another shot,' an insider said to The Sun. 'They have a lot of history together and don't want to throw everything away. There are just a few more months left on Coldplay's tour and then they will be able to spend more time together and work around Annabelle's schedule.' But they broke up sometime between then and Oct 2017 when he was spotted with Dakota Johnson. Dakota Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 after being set up by mutual friends. They didn't confirm their relationship until a year later, and they moved in together in 2021. Specifically, they moved into Martin's Malibu mansion in 2021. A year later, he sold it and moved to another home in Malibu. Fun fact: Johnson told SheKnows that her Daddio co-star Sean Penn is one of their celebrity neighbours. In 2018, soon after their romance became public, Harper's Bazaar reported that the two were seen with matching infinity symbol tattoos, with Johnson's on her elbow and Martin's on the inside of his arm. There was a rumor that they briefly broke up in the summer of 2019, but quickly reconciled. While we don't know the exact time they got engaged, many sources claim it was years ago, but the two weren't too eager to set a date. They were plagued with breakup rumors again inthe summer of 2024, as we said previously. Sadly, Martin and Johnson called it quits for good in June 2025. A source spoke to The Sun about what led to their breakup, saying, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.'

EXCLUSIVE I'm a matchmaker... here's what Dakota Johnson's movie Materialists gets wrong
Celine Song's romantic drama Materialists has proven to be an unexpectedly divisive movie - and it shone a spotlight on matchmakers and what they actually do. The film centers around Lucy, played by Dakota Johnson, a matchmaker living in New York City, who is caught between an old flame and new love interest, played by Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. Professional matchmaker Maria Avgitidi, who has been been in the business for almost 20 years, told the Daily Mail that while there are many parts of the movie that are accurate, some are extremely far-fetched. 'In the trailer, people are listing off numbers, and that is very accurate,' she dished. 'People will come in, and they'll say, "I want [my man] to be this high. I want [him] to have a full head of hair. I want [him] to not have cats, because I'm allergic to cats," like that is very accurate in the initial call,' she acknowledged. However, Maria, who has around '4,000 marriages' under her belt, said her relationship wins are not as thoroughly celebrated as the matchmakers at Adore, the fictional service in the film. 'I don't have cake parties like they do in the trailer. That's never happened,' she laughed. Maria also shared that as a matchmaker, she doesn't attend the weddings on the couple's she set up. 'As a matchmaker, the job is first and second dates, and then goodbye,' she shared. 'It's now your job to be a good boyfriend, good girlfriend, whatever it is. 'I have been invited to several weddings, but at the same time there is this professional personal boundary that I don't want to cross.' 'I'm not your friend. I'm your service provider,' she declared. 'It's kind of like If you invited your personal trainer.' One thing Maria acknowledged that the film did get right was the burn-out rate of matchmakers. 'If you're a matchmaker, you have to discover what your emotional bandwidth is, and the kind of clients you can take,' she advised. And for those who hire a matchmaker, she stressed the importance of connecting with each other before you start looking for a partner. 'Your first match has to be with your matchmaker,' Maria pointed out. Lauren Daddis, a senior matchmaker at Three Day Rule said there were 'definitely' parts of the movie resonated with her, and other parts that were 'pure Hollywood.' Maria, who has around '4,000 marriages' under her belt, said her relationship wins are not as thoroughly celebrated as the matchmakers at Adore, the fictional service in the film I run a matchmaking service. These are red flags people miss - and green flags to help find love 'Some of the truths: I have a lot of high-achieving clients seeking love. Many successful people do turn to matchmaking because they're short on time, they value privacy and they want something more curated than the dating apps offer,' she explained. Lauren said the scenes between Lucy and her clients in the film struck a chord with her. 'It demonstrated the emotional complexity behind the scenes,' she continued. 'Even the most accomplished, successful, confident clients come with vulnerabilities, doubts and attachment issues - real matchmaking often involves helping clients move past these things,' the matchmaker pointed out. However there were a few parts that Lauren admitted made her want to 'crawl out my skin.' 'Every time Lucy said "You are going to meet the love of your life. I can promise you that,"' she reflected. 'The movie makes it seem like a perfect match is always one introduction away — in reality, it's often a process of learning, refinement, and growth,' she pointed out. 'Some matches hit quickly, but the real work is in setting the foundation for something that lasts.'

Rachel Brosnahan Says People Who Act in Bad Superhero Films Need to ‘Stand By It'
With the surplus of comic book movies today, there was always bound to be some terrible films, and some actors—like Dakota Johnson—have been open about projects like Madame Web bombing not being her fault. Rachel Brosnahan is about to make her superhero jump with James Gunn's Superman soon, and though we haven't met her Lois Lane yet, she has something to say to other actors who are quick to dismiss their comic book movie work. Talking to Amanda Seyfried for Interview Magazine, Brosnahan explains: 'I don't know why people say yes [to a project] only to then turn around and complain about it… Look, I don't want to shit on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them. Do it or don't do it, and then stand by it.' While Brosnahan didn't mention anybody specific, a lot of fans immediately thought of a few people who had been trashing their previous projects. Besides Johnson, Chris Hemsworth had also opened up about not being happy with the last Thor film; and Ryan Reynolds has infamously shat on his Green Lantern run even long after he found success with Deadpool. Though I appreciate anyone who owns up to mistakes, I do have to say that Brosnahan has it lucky so far not having been cast in a bad superhero film. I mean, she pretty much hit the jackpot moving directly to Superman from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ; god forbid she was a secondary character in a mid Marvel movie somewhere in the 2010s. For now, watch out for Brosnahan in Superman which comes to cinemas on July 11.

India Has Had Arranged Matches For Ages, The West Is Only Waking Up To The Reality Of Filtered Love
"He checked a lot of our boxes. And, you checked a lot of his." This is Dakota Johnson's common refrain throughout Materialists, a New York story about love, money, and dating. Her character Lucy, a New York-based professional matchmaker who gets caught up between two men of diametrically opposite financial backings - John (Chris Evans) and Harry (Pedro Pascal) - often says this one-liner to her clients as she tries to find a perfect match for them. Little do they know, or perhaps, little did any of us know that dating in this day and age is all about filters, algorithms, and curated bios. In a world dominated by swipes and scrolls, dating apps are increasingly mimicking the institution of Indian marriages which have orchestrated matches based on "checkboxes", including caste, education qualifications, financial compatibility, horoscopes, and community ties. Marriages have been arranged in India since time immemorial, and what's fascinating is that the West seems to just have woken up to the concept of filtered love, at least if we believe what the movie Materialists depicts. Online Dating And Filtering Through Love Dating apps have changed the landscape of relationships, but they come up with new updates to help you find the person that matches your preferences. In an effort to do that, Tinder has recently introduced the "height filter" and it's not the only one. In 2019, Bumble introduced the astrology and politics filters that allowed people to filter matches based on their zodiac signs and political affiliation, respectively. Filters are not new to dating apps though. With a wide range to choose from, individuals have the option to find a partner based on their religion, views, lifestyle choices, zodiac signs, and even pet preferences. "I think adding filters is good. In a way, you are putting filters in your mind when you look for a partner I might as well look for it on an app. I think it is a better way to find a partner that way," a 24-year-old user tells NDTV on the condition of anonymity. "We are physical beings, and we get attracted to some features. For example, I like a guy who is around my age and has the same emotional maturity and views as me. While I will not find every filter to my liking, it will definitely help," shares a 37-year-old user of dating apps. According to Matchmaker and Relationship Coach Radhika Mohta, the goal of these dating apps is to keep users engaged and help them feel like they're optimising their search while keeping them scrolling. Are Dating Apps Becoming Arranged Marriages 2.0? Interestingly, this criteria-based approach to finding the right partner is not new to Indian society. For decades, arranged marriages in India have relied on similar filters - religion, caste, income, family, and educational background. Even matrimonial advertisements, be it in newspapers or on websites, have functioned as extensions of these traditions. A Delhite, who is in her mid-30s, says, "The only thing that has changed is the person doing the filtering. Earlier, it was your family. Now it's you - guided by tech." Mohta further highlights how this filtering may help, while also explaining how it is making people confuse compatibility with customisability. "We live with a lot of predictive technology that enables us to give an input and expect an output, which will be standardised. This is also the reason why when it comes to our personal lives, the idea of having a smooth experience and getting what we want makes more sense." The Only Thing Missing: Serendipity As filters multiply and apps promise ever-sharper matches, we are inching closer to an era where dating mimics the mechanics of arranged marriages - only this time, the matchmakers are algorithms and we have to choose the one we like. As the Relationship Coach rightly explains that if you are filtering your world down to the same type of people, you are shrinking your perspective, not broadening your horizons. While these filters are marketed as tools to "find your match faster," the Matchmaker highlights that it is taking away serendipity - the concept that reminds us that the most meaningful connections can emerge in unexpected moments, beyond the data points. Dating apps have simply digitised what communities and families once did manually - matching people based on checkboxes. This shift reflects how people are now approaching love through a blend of personal choice and inherited social structures. So, the question remains - are we inching towards redefining relationships or simply reducing love to a list of checkboxes that is nothing new to the Indian society?

On today's episode of The Run-Through, Chloe and Lisa Macabasco, Vogue's research manager and senior digital line editor, sit down with director Celine Song (Past Lives) to talk about the inspiration behind the film and Song's brief, real-life stint as a matchmaker—just like Lucy, the character played by Dakota Johnson. Earlier in the show, Chioma and Chloe dive into Francesco Risso's departure from Marni and Martine Rose's fabulous men's spring 2026 show, which created quite a buzz in London over the weekend.
