"Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin Split Just Weeks After Romantic Comeback — 'The Breakup Was No Shock,' Says Insider!"
The couple, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin, broke up after nearly eight years of relationship, even though they had engagement rumours floating around the industry. Dakota Johnson is "doing well" nearly three weeks after she split from Chris, stated a report in PEOPLE.
What did the report say?
As per the report, 'Dakota's doing well. The split wasn't exactly a shock," says the Johnson source, adding that the actress and Coldplay singer Martin "had the same issues for a while."
Multiple sources confirmed to 'People' on June 4 that Johnson and Martin had broken up and ended their nearly eight-year relationship. The pair were first romantically paired up in 2017 and photographed together as recently as May 16, when they stepped out together in Malibu, California.
"She wants to live her life very intentionally — she doesn't want to have any regrets," the source tells 'People' of Johnson. "She loves all her creative projects and is excited about her career.
She believes there is more to life than work though. She wants a meaningful life on all levels."
The star couple was engaged?
Johnson and Martin's split came roughly three months after an insider told 'People' that the pair had actually been engaged for 'years" after they initially sparked engagement rumours in 2020, though they were "in no rush to get married" at that time.
When breakup rumours surfaced in August 2024, a representative of Johnson shut them down and said she and Martin remained "happily together." Around the same time, one insider even said, "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."
"I love those kids' – Johnson said of Chris Martin's teenagers
Johnson has opened up about her relationship with Moses and Apple, Martin's kids, during a March 2024 interview with 'Bustle,' saying, "I love those kids like my life depends on it," adding, "With all my heart."
She also told the outlet she was a big fan of watching Martin perform: "I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. ... I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing."
Current status of the now ex mates
Johnson is now starring in 'Materialists,' which was released in theatres on June 13. Her next film, 'Splitsville,' premieres August 22. Whereas Martin will resume his world tour with Coldplay in Toronto on July 7, the band has concerts scheduled in North America and England through September 8.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez exchange vows in opulent Venetian ceremony
Venice, June 28 (UNI) Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Emmy-winning journalist Lauren Sánchez have officially wed in a grandiose ceremony yesterday, set against the resplendent backdrop of Venice's San Gloria Maggiore island. The multi-day celebration welcomed a glittering guest list, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and Tom Brady. Other notable guests included Queen Rania of Jordan, Bill Gates and his girlfriend, Paula Hurd, François-Henri Pinault, and fashion designers Diane von Fürstenberg, Domenico Dolce and Tommy Hilfiger. The wedding ceremony opened with an emotive rendition of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love," performed by renowned tenor Matteo Bocelli, drawing cheers from the distinguished guests. Saánchez, 55, stunned in a bespoke mermaid- style wedding gown from Dolce & Gabbana, embroidered with Italian lace and paired with heirloom earrings and a symbolic token from her Blue Origin space journey. Bezos, 61, was equally dashing in a classic tuxedo and aviator sunglasses, exuding old-world charm. To show their appreciation to Venice for hosting them and their guests, Bezos and Sánchez made a point of spotlighting the city's rich artisanal history during their wedding festivities. They sourced about 80% of their provisions from Venetian vendors, among them pastry shop Rosa Salva and glass design studio Laguna B. In addition, the couple asked their guests to make financial donations to the city of Venice instead of giving them wedding gifts. On their wedding invitation, they listed three Venetian charities they planned to donate the contributions to: the UNESCO Venice Office, CORILA and Venice International University. They also shared on the invitation why Venice holds such a special place in their hearts. "This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories," they wrote. "Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come." "We are definitely happy to have this funding for the protection of our very delicate city," Sebastiano Costalonga, local city councillor for commerce and productive activities of the municipality of Venice, told PEOPLE ahead of the wedding. Bezos and Sánchez's romance first made headlines in early 2019, coinciding with their respective separations from longtime partners. What began as a collaborative professional partnership evolved into a deeply personal connection. In interviews, Sánchez has spoken admiringly of Bezos's intellect and humour, describing their companionship as seamless and joyful. In May 2023, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the two had gotten engaged. The news came as the couple was vacationing together in the South of France. Sánchez was photographed wearing a dazzling ring on that finger while spending time on Bezo's superyacht Koru and stepping out in town. UNI NST

The Waterfront Season 2 in the works? Everything we know about Netflix's southern crime drama
The Waterfront may have only just premiered, but after rocketing to the top of Netflix's global Top 10, fans are already desperate for more. Released on June 19, the eight-episode crime drama created by Kevin Williamson follows the Buckley family, a struggling fishing dynasty in North Carolina, who get caught up in a violent drug smuggling war, according to a People report. In a bold season finale, the Buckleys took down dangerous smuggler Grady (Topher Grace), ending in a high-stakes yacht standoff and a dramatic kill-shot by Cane (Jake Weary). Although Netflix has not yet confirmed a second season, Williamson earlier told The Hollywood Reporter that he originally pitched the series as a three-season arc, with potential to go even further. Williamson told THR that three seasons would be a solid number, but he could go up to five seasons if the show were successful. As per the People report, with Grady's death being confirmed, Williamson hinted that Season 2 will be introducing a new primary antagonist: likely from the Parker family, who allied with the Buckleys in Season 1 but have more secrets to unravel. Williamson reportedly explained that the Parker family will become Waterfront Season 2's big conflict. He said there will be additional Parker family members, who will likely be equally as complicated as the Buckleys, adding that they could even be more dangerous than Grady. Even though no cast has been officially confirmed, Williamson expressed excitement about bringing back Jake Weary (Cane) and Rafael L Silva (Shawn), Harlan's secret son. Williamson further stated that getting to work with Rafael more would be incredible. He added that there's a bond which can't be broken. Given that most of the Buckleys survived the finale, including Melissa Benoist's Bree, who was shot and rescued, their stories could continue to unfold, the People report added. Grady, who had kidnapped Bree and her kid, Diller, was ambushed by Harlan and Cane. Cane ended up shooting Grady in the face during the showdown, then tossed him into the water. At the end of the season, the Buckleys were back together at Bree's hospital bed, so fingers crossed things will get better, even if there is still trouble ahead. You can stream all eight episodes of The Waterfront Season 1 on Netflix. Will there be a Season 2 of The Waterfront? Netflix has not confirmed a renewal yet, but creator Kevin Williamson has pitched a three-season arc and is hopeful. Is Grady dead? Yes. Kevin Williamson confirmed that Grady was 'definitely dead' after the Season 1 finale. What will Season 2 focus on? Season 2 could follow the Parker family as the new threat, with more Buckley family drama and a fresh villain at the center. Where can I watch The Waterfront? The full first season is available to stream on Netflix now.
