"It feels final this time," an insider told the publication.

The report comes weeks after they were photographed together in Malibu on May 16.
In January, Johnson and Martin made headlines when they arrived in Mumbai for Coldplay's two concerts as part of the Music of the Spheres World Tour. They were also spotted visiting local landmarks like the Siddhivinayak Temple, Shri Babulnath Temple and Marine Drive.
After the concerts concluded, the two also went to the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj.
Several images of Martin and Johnson taking the holy dip at the Triveni Sangam went viral on social media at the time.

The models, inspired by real elephants from Mudumalai National Park, were installed at Chennai's Edward Elliott's Beach to raise awareness about wildlife conservation. She mentioned that the initiative was guided by an expert group and served a dual purpose, to provide livelihood opportunities to tribal communities and promote ecological restoration by removing harmful plant species.
