Chris Martin’s dating history

Lily Sobhani (2000)

Almost nothing is known about Chris’s first serious relationship, except for a Daily Mail mention in 2015 noting that, “When they met, he, a shy Devon boy, was getting over the end of his first serious romance with radio executive Lily Sobhani.”

Gwyneth Paltrow (2002–2014)

Chris met actress Gwyneth Paltrow backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002.

They married a year later and share two children, Apple and Moses. When they separated in 2014, the world learned a new phrase, “conscious uncoupling.”Gwyneth told Vanity Fair earlier this year, “It’s not quite brother, but we are complete family. He is there for me through anything, and vice versa.” She added, “It feels much better when everybody can be together and people can let go of the more difficult, painful parts of what led to a divorce and focus on the things that led to the marriage in the first place.”

Jennifer Lawrence (2014–2015)

Chris dated Jennifer Lawrence for about a year, but their relationship reportedly faced challenges due to conflicting schedules. A source told People in 2015, “Chris doesn’t really want the relationship to end, but he needs to be flexible so he can see his family as much as possible with his own work schedule.” Another insider added that Jennifer was “tired of Chris being so noncommittal.”

Annabelle Wallis (2015–2017)

Chris’s next romance was with Annabelle Wallis, known for Peaky Blinders.

Their relationship was described as on-again, off-again. In August 2017, The Sun quoted a source saying, “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.”

Dakota Johnson (2017–2025)

Chris’s most recent long-term relationship was with Dakota Johnson, beginning in late 2017. A source told Us Weekly at the time, “Dakota and Chris are definitely dating.

They’ve gotten to know each other really well and are very comfortable from one another.”Dakota once told Bustle, “I love watching him. I could watch him every day. I feel like...I’m watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.”After nearly eight years together, the pair reportedly split in June 2025. Page Six cited a source saying Dakota “was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding.”

Another insider told The Daily Mail, “Breakups aren’t instant...Dakota is devastated that she isn’t going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.”

Joe Jonas (2016–2023)

Sophie’s most high-profile relationship began when Joe Jonas slid into her Instagram DMs in 2016. She told Harper’s Bazaar UK in 2019, “We had a lot of mutual friends. We were following each other on Instagram and he direct-messaged me one fine day, out of the blue.”They married twice, first in a fun Vegas ceremony, then in a lavish French wedding in July 2019. The couple welcomed two daughters, Willa and Delphine, before Joe filed for divorce in September 2023, citing that “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.”
