It appears Dakota Johnson, 35, is moving on from her relationship with ex Chris Martin, 48.
On June 4, 2025, shortly after news broke of the Fifty Shades Of Grey actress and the Coldplay frontman’s split, Johnson was spotted leaving the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca, New York City, noticeably without her engagement ring.
In the paparazzi-captured video, Dakota sported a neutral-toned outfit, wearing a mocha brown satin skirt paired with a cream lace top. She accessorized the look with a floppy sun hat, brown leather pumps, a Gucci tote, and chic sunglasses.
She avoided direct eye contact with the flashing cameras as she quickly stepped into her parked getaway car.
Dakota Johnson turned heads in Tribeca after her reported split from Chris Martin, as she stepped out of the Greenwich Hotel looking summer-ready—wearing a beige blouse, brown pants, ballerina flats, a large sun hat, and carrying an oversized Gucci bag.
