Chris Martin Just Wore a Telling Accessory Amid First Outing Since Dakota Johnson Split
As we mourn the iconic relationship between Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin ending, it seems both of them are keeping busy. Johnson has been everywhere promoting her new movie The Materialists, and as for Martin, he just made an appearance. On June 16, Martin made his first public appearance since the news of his and Johnson's reported breakup went public. He was out and about in NYC with his and Gwyneth Paltrow's son, Moses Martin, in photos obtained by E! Online. The Coldplay frontman wore an all-black outfit composed of a black T-shirt, matching blazer, pants, and aviator sunglasses. However, he was also wearing a certain accessory that may confirm the news. More from SheKnows Sources Reveal if Gwyneth Paltrow Will Stay Friends With Dakota Johnson After Chris Martin Breakup He's wearing a Farsi calligraphy charm necklace, specifically with the charm being a 'Baaraye' or 'Azadi' necklace, which is Farsi for 'freedom.' Now, wearing a necklace that symbolizes freedom after a breakup is quite telling on its own, but there's one more detail we gotta talk about. It seems as though he started wearing this necklace in the summer of 2024, which is when the breakup rumors were first running rampant with the pair. So, overall, this necklace is the center of a lot of questions right now. For those who don't know, Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 after being set up by mutual friends, and seven years later. They didn't confirm their relationship until a year later, and they moved in together in 2021. 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 have seemingly called it quits for good in June 2025. A source spoke to The Sun about what led to their recent 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.'Best of SheKnows 13 Times Meghan Markle Reminded Us So Much of Princess Diana 24 Times Kate Middleton Perfectly Recreated Princess Diana's Iconic Fashion Every Time Paris Jackson's Bold Red Carpet Fashion Took Our Breath Away

Dakota Johnson says Hollywood is ‘a mess'
Dakota Johnson has described contemporary Hollywood as "a mess". The 35-year-old actor, who's currently promoting her A24 romcom The Materialists, made the comments on Sean Evans's show Hot Ones. When he asked her why Hollywood is risk-averse, she said: "I think it's hard when creative decisions are made by committee, and by people who don't even really watch movies or know anything about them, and that tends to be what's occurring a lot." She added that there are too many remakes in the film industry at the moment, saying: "When something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things, but humans don't want that. "They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?" The star has previously called out people in the industry who "don't have a creative bone in their body" when discussing her 2024 box office flop Madame Web, a comic book movie in which she played a superpowered paramedic. She told the Los Angeles Times: "I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger budget movies fail all the time." Johnson revealed earlier this month that after she won the Golden Raspberry Award (Razzie) for Worst Actress, for her role in Madame Web, she received a kind text from a fellow movie star: Sandra Bullock. She said that after the February event, she got a message from Bullock, who previously won two Razzies in 2010 for the film All About Steve - one for Worst Actress and one for Worst Couple, alongside Bradley Cooper. "Sandra Bullock sent me a voice note, being like, 'I heard you are in the Razzie Club and we should have brunch. We should have like a monthly brunch,'" Johnson explained. "But I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as a movie star," she added. "I was like, 'Oh my god, it was just crazy.'" In her new film Materialists, which has received more positive reviews and is directed by Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song, Johnson plays a professional matchmaker called Lucy, who ends up caught in a love triangle with Pedro Pascal's Harry and Chris Evans's John.

Why Materialists Star Pedro Pascal Has Been The Internet's Sweetheart Lately
New Delhi: It's difficult to pinpoint that one viral moment that crowned Pedro Pascal as the Internet's 'zaddy'. The Chilean and American actor's evolution from a popular actor oozing loads of charm to becoming a social media sweetheart has been in the making for a while now. Fans drooling over his quirks with The Materialists co-stars Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans to pining for him after videos of his sensational 'Sleeveless Muscle Tank Top' moments at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet last month went viral on social media, the rise and rise of Pedro Pascal doesn't appear to be a strategic move to promote his new movie, which hit the screens on Friday. The 50-year-old actor shot to fame over a decade ago with his breakout role as the complex yet charismatic and a formidable fighter, Oberyn Martell who gained a fan-following in the fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.

Pedro Pascal literally has the BROADEST fucking shoulders know to man and still wears shirts — jenna ☀️ (@seminerdist) February 7, 2021 What really cemented his standing as a beloved actor was his kinder onscreen versions in shows such as The Mandalorian and The Last Of Us. In The Mandalorian, he won hearts as a gruff but instinctively paternal character of Din Djarin, a Mandalorian bounty hunter. He made the character humane and relatable which left a lasting impression. In The Last Of Us as well, he portrays the character of Joe Miller, a post-apocalyptic survivor who's consumed by internal conflicts and fatherly instincts as he escorts Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a young girl with immunity to the fungal infection, across the United States. pedro pascal in the last of us (2025) — screencaps (@screenscaps) June 9, 2025 This adulation grew organically over time, with his mentions ruling Reddit conversations, social media memes, and TikTok reels.

Materialists ending explained: Billionaire's perfection or halal cart with her broke ex boyfriend — what does Lucy choose?
A24's latest romance-drama, Materialists, hit theatres on June 13, 2025, and stirred up conversations online, thanks to its stellar cast featuring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. Directed by Celine Song, who made her directorial debut with Oscar-nominated Past Lives, the film stars Johnson as Lucy, a sharp and successful matchmaker navigating love and power in New York City. She's joined by Pedro Pascal as Harry, a charming billionaire, and Chris Evans as John, her broke but earnest ex-boyfriend. From its sleek cinematography to the painfully real conversations about love and money, Materialists has people asking—Harry or John, who does Lucy choose? What's The Materialists about? Lucy works at Adore Matchmaking, where finding love looks a lot more like running an investment firm. She's not matching horoscopes; she's matching income brackets, attractiveness scores, and political alignment. Early in the movie, she meets Harry, a tall, rich, practically engineered-to-perfection bachelor, at a client's wedding. The same night, she bumps into John, her ex-boyfriend and an aspiring actor, who now waits tables and lives with roommates. From there, Lucy gets pulled into a classic triangle. Harry is everything she's been told to want: successful, generous, and elite. John is the one that got away—the guy she left because she didn't want to celebrate their anniversary with halal cart food. But as the story unfolds, we see cracks in Lucy's logic and her career. Is love really just a numbers game? So, who does Lucy end up with? (Spoilers) In the end, Lucy chooses John, not because he's the safe or successful option, but because he's the one who truly knows her. After everything she's built in her matchmaking career, Lucy finds herself questioning the very formula she's been selling: that love can be calculated based on looks, money, and shared values. Her relationship with Harry may have looked perfect on paper—he's rich, charming, and even over six feet tall (thanks, as it turns out, to leg-lengthening surgery). But emotionally, there's nothing there. When it finally hits her that their dynamic feels more like a business deal than a relationship, she chooses to walk away from what many would have thought was her perfect fairy tale. John, on the other hand, isn't rich, polished, or predictable. But he's real. He's the guy who was there before she became 'marketable.' And even though their past had flaws (remember that halal cart breakup?), he's never stopped seeing her for who she actually is, not who she's trying to be. It's the kind of love you can't put a price on, and even though Lucy had only known it, it's after being with Harry that she actually realized it's the real deal. In the final scene, John grabs two meals from a halal cart and meets Lucy in the park, bringing their story full circle. As they sit together, he makes her a ring out of a flower and gently slips it on her finger. It's a sweet callback to the cave couple we saw at the start of the film, who symbolized the very first marriage. But instead of a grand proposal, John simply asks with a smile, 'How'd you like to make a very poor financial decision?' What happens to Harry in the end? After the breakup, Harry ends up becoming a client at Adore himself, still searching for his 'perfect match.' During their final conversation, Lucy notices scars on his legs and realizes he, too, underwent leg-lengthening surgery to hit that ideal six-foot mark and become the so-called 'unicorn' everyone wants. Will there be a Materialists sequel? Materialists will most likely not have a sequel, as the story wraps up neatly with Lucy choosing John in the end. While no follow-up has been announced, a potential sequel could explore Harry's continued search for love.
