Was Chris Martin ‘A–Hole’ to Dakota Johnson? Actress Spills Non-Negotiable After Recent Breakup

Five days following the announcement of Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin’s breakup, after almost eight years together, Johnson shared the absolute must-have trait she seeks in a partner.

During the June 9 episode of Today, alongside co-star Chris Evans, Johnson casually answered a question about her ideal dating trait: “Basically, someone who isn’t a jerk.” This off-the-cuff comment had the show hosts and crew chuckling, with Evans labeling it as “straightforward” and jokingly saying, “Bingo!

Johnson steps out solo and ring-free

The romantic comedy star’s remark about dating surfaced during a promotional period for her upcoming film, scheduled for release on June 13th. A few days prior to the interview on Today, Johnson was observed alone in New York City’s Tribeca area without her engagement ring. Additionally, she was spotted having dinner with Taylor Swift on May 29th, and has continued to make public appearances since the breakup.

During the Coldplay performance on June 1st, Chris Martin displayed no trace of animosity. Instead, he urged the audience to check out Materialists by encouraging kindness towards themselves and others, saying, “Remember to look up Materialists! Be kind to yourselves, be kind to one another.

Matchmaking onscreen, simplicity offscreen

In “Materialists”, the character played by Emily Ratajkowski is Lucy, a determined New York matchmaker who assists others in finding love, yet faces challenges in her own romantic endeavors. Her former partner is depicted by Billy Magnussen, while Oscar Isaac takes on the role of her potential new beau. Regarding her aspirations for the film’s impact, Ratajkowski expressed a desire for viewers to ponder “living honestly” and contemplating what they genuinely seek in their own lives.
