In a surprising revelation, multiple reports have confirmed that actress Dakota Johnson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin have been secretly engaged for several years. The couple, who first sparked romance rumors in 2017, reportedly got engaged back then but were in no rush to tie the knot, according to a source close to the pair.

Speculation about their engagement arose in 2020 when Johnson was spotted wearing an eye-catching emerald ring on her left ring finger. Now, years later, sources have confirmed that the stunning accessory is indeed her engagement ring.

The 34-year-old actress and the 47-year-old musician have kept their relationship predominantly out of the public eye since they began dating in October 2017. While they have occasionally been photographed together, they prefer to maintain their privacy and rarely make joint red carpet appearances.

During a 2018 interview with Tatler, Johnson made it clear that she would not discuss her relationship with Martin, emphasizing her desire for privacy. However, she did express her happiness, stating, "I'm very happy."

Despite their low-key approach to their relationship, Johnson and Martin demonstrated their support for a charitable cause in September 2019 when they attended Forest Whitaker's Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative's Place for Peace event in New York City.

Interestingly, Martin's ex-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, also expressed her fondness for Johnson in a 2020 interview with Harper's Bazaar, saying, "I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her."

Johnson's father, Don Johnson, has also praised Martin, describing him as a "lovely guy" during an appearance on Good Day New York. He even hinted at the possibility of wedding bells and expressed excitement at the prospect of becoming a grandfather.

Speaking about Martin's children from his previous marriage, Johnson shared her affection for them, saying, "I love them like my life depends on it." She also expressed openness to the idea of having children of her own, stating, "I'm so open to that. I've gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything that life has to offer."

As of now, neither Johnson nor Martin's representatives have commented on the engagement reports. Fans will have to wait for an official confirmation or statement from the couple themselves.

With news of their secret engagement finally surfacing, fans of Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are eagerly anticipating any further updates on their relationship and potential wedding plans.
