The Reason Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Keep Their Relationship Private
“S–t happens,” Johnson said in the February 2017 issue of Vogue, reflecting on her split from musician Matthew Hitt some months beforehand after two years of dating. “I think I’m a little bit heartbroken all the time, even when I’m in a happy relationship. I don’t do casual very well, and my feelings, even the good ones, get so intense that they hurt.”
Poking fun at the inevitable speculation about her private life, she added, “Can we make things really juicy? Can we say that I’m taking this time to explore my bisexuality? Or that I have given myself to the Lord following the release of my sexually explicit trifecta of films?”
And now that daily life includes consideration for Martin and Paltrow’s kids, Apple, 19, and Moses, 17, plus Johnson’s sprawling family, which includes two half-siblings on her mom’s side and four on her dad’s, plus a close relationship with ex-step-dad Antonio Banderas, she’s even more conscious of the importance of keeping a lid on the inner workings of that whole dynamic.
