The pair, who began dating in 2017, are said to have called off their engagement amid claims they have "drifted apart."

Why did Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson split?

Sources suggest that Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson's decision to part ways was mutual, with both agreeing it is "best to move on."

Rumors of a split began circulating after Johnson was recently spotted without her engagement ring.

The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actress was seen walking her dog and the absence of her significant ring sparked speculation about the couple's relationship status.
