Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson news: Sources confirm the two are indeed dating

Recently, it has been highly speculated that the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star, Dakota Johnson, and Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, are dating. As it turns out, these rumors are completely true, but both Johnson and Martin have not publicly announced their relationship yet. Despite trying to keep a low profile about their relationship, Johnson has been spotted, claiming that she looks quite happy for the past few weeks. 

In a report by Entertainment Tonight, a source has indeed confirmed that the two are dating, and are very happy together. It is said that the 28-year-old actress frequents the Coldplay singer's house, and has even met his friends. The source has also stated that they have observed that Johnson makes Martin quite happy, and it is no secret that Martin has had his share of high-profile celebrity partners from Jennifer Lawrence, to his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. 

According to Us Weekly, Martin is able to maintain a close relationship with Paltrow, as well as his ex-girlfriend, Annabelle Wallis. Wallis has been reported to be very close with Martin's children with Paltrow, but sources have confirmed that their ralationship is strictly friendly -- especially with Johnson now being in the picture. Additionally, it seems that Johnson is definitely the right kind of partner for Martin, since he is described to be "young at heart."

Playing the part of Anastasia Steele in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie franchise, it seems that fans should be now concerned about Johnson's participation in the next film. According to the reports, there are now rumors that Johnson will be turning down the next film with her co-star, Jamie Dornan, due to her newfound relationship with Martin.

It seems that Johnson would spend more time with Martin -- which she would not be able to do if she were to shoot the sequel. Despite this news, it is safe to assume that "Fifty Shades of Grey" fans are still hoping for Johnson to reprise her role alongside Dornan.
