Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have allegedly called it quits.
In its Oct. 25 issue, In Touch Weekly claimed that Johnson was preparing to go to her birthday dinner when she received a shocking text from Martin.
The Coldplay frontman allegedly told Johnson that he wanted to take a break from their relationship.
According to the source, this is not the first time that Martin broke up with Johnson. However, it seems that the exes’ split will be for good this time around.
But what made the split so much worse was because it happened via text and on the Fifty Shades of Grey actor’s birthday.
“She was devastated. It looked like they were really going to make it this time, but he got cold feet. The saddest part is that he did it over text,” the source said.
The insider claimed that Johnson still went to her birthday dinner because she also invited her mom and close friends at the time.
But the actress struggled to keep her real feelings hidden throughout the night.
“There was laughter, but there were tears, too. Her friends think he just got nervous. When things become too serious, like when she starts talking about having kids, that’s when he tends to panic. But all hope isn’t lost. Gwyneth Paltrow, who adores Dakota, is trying to get them back together. If anyone can do it, it’s Gwyneth,” the source said.
However, the tabloid’s claims couldn’t be more unrealistic.
First, Johnson and Martin are still together. If the couple broke up, more reputable sources would’ve already reported on it.
But the fact the only one tabloid is reporting about the couple’s alleged split proves that they just made up this story about Johnson and Martin.
It also seems unlikely for Martin to suddenly break up with Johnson when they’re about to head to the actress’s birthday dinner.
If the couple is already having problems, Martin and Johnson would have already ended things way before the actress’s birthday dinner.
It’s not also true that Paltrow can convince Martin to get back together with Johnson if the couple really split.
After all, the Iron Man star has nothing to do with her ex-husband’s relationship.
While it is true that Paltrow and Johnson adore each other, it’s not true that the latter needs the former to back her up and try to win Martin back on her behalf.
