Even though they haven't been seen together in weeks and have been the subject of reports that they are breaking up, the question remains: after seven years of being together and an engagement, is it really over between Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson?

Although this is not entirely accurate, a naysayer has confirmed that the Coldplay frontman, who is 47 years old, and the actress, who is 34 years old, have a history of ups and downs in their relationship. The insider also stated that Chris's commitment fails to meet expectations.

“Dakota’s ring has been on and off more times that you can count. Dakota wants to start a family more than anything, but she wants to do it with a partner, as a team, not with someone whose foot is halfway out the door,” an unnamed source told Woman’s Day Australia.

The actress echoed the sentiments of her representative when she displayed her engagement ring while she was out in Malibu last week. Dakota's representative refuted the most recent rumors that the couple had broken up, stating that they are "happily together."

The social media gossip account Deux Moi has published accusations that Chris has been seen kissing an Italian model recently, and Dakota has been spending time with Jeremy Allen White and Pedro Pascal. Despite this, the couple's obviously different lives continue to raise concerns.

However, the undisclosed informant that Dakota and Chris are able to make their way back to each other despite the difficulties they have encountered.

“She’s crazy about Chris and it doesn’t take much for him to lure her back. He truly does love her, he just can’t let go of his rock star world,” the unidentified insider told the entertainment news outlet.

There are many people who are happy about the fact that Dakota and Chris' relationship is still going strong, but Gwyneth Paltrow, who was formerly married to Martin, is the one who is the most thrilled.

It is even alleged by some with knowledge of the situation that Gwyneth is more excited than everyone else, and it is said that she is so excited that she is the one who is making the most effort to drag them down the aisle.

In a recent interview with Heat World UK, tipsters close to Paltrow revealed that she is planning to marry the couple in the near future.

“Things have been up and down between Chris and Dakota. They’re trying to work things out on their own, but Gwyneth is determined for them to get married ASAP. On one hand, it’s sweet, but it comes across as very controlling because it’s like she wants to have a say in who Chris is seeing. The last thing he and Dakota need is to have Gwyneth sticking her nose in,” the mole claimed.

 “Gwyneth loves Dakota and knows she’s the right partner for Chris. But a lot of people wonder if there is also an element of her not relishing the idea of Chris being single again, and bringing God knows who around their children,” the spy went on.

Taking into consideration the fact that she is so close to both of them, and the fact that tattlers have repeatedly expressed this attitude, this is not a very surprising revelation.

Dakota and Chris have been dating for about a decade, and they have been thinking about getting engaged for a considerable amount of time. It is not known whether they will be married or whether they will continue their relationship in the same manner as Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.
