Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson ‘have had their ups and downs’
This came months after reports said that the 47-year-old musician and his partner Dakota Johnson were facing issues in their relationship.
But a tipster claimed, as per OK! Magazine, “Chris and Dakota have had their ups and downs, like any couple. They spend a lot of time apart due to their respective work schedules.”
“Sometimes, Chris can be a little too switched off for Dakota’s liking. The distance is tough on them,” the source added.
Besides, another insider asserted, "Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can."
