‘Splitsville' Trailer: Dakota Johnson Navigates Love, Chaos, and Swinging in Michael Angelo Covino's Bold Marital Comedy
Dakota Johnson is raising the stakes in romantic comedy with her upcoming film Splitsville, following her recent appearance in A24's Materialists. The first trailer of Michael Angelo Covino 's Splitsville—in which he stars alongside Johnson as a couple in an open marriage—was released by Neon on Monday. The couple moves in with two friends who are also grappling with their own marital struggles, setting the stage for a witty and emotionally tangled comedy. Good-natured Carey (Kyle Marvin) turns to his friends Julie (Johnson) and Paul (Covino) for support after his wife Ashley (Adria Arjona) files for divorce. But he's shocked to discover that Julie and Paul's secret to happiness is an open marriage. Things spiral out of control when Carey takes the idea too far, setting off a chain reaction that threatens to ruin all their relationships. Co-written by Covino and Marvin, Splitsville also stars Nicholas Braun, David Castañeda, O-T Fagbenle, and Charlie Gillespie. The film is set to release in theaters on August 22. After the film received an eight-minute standing ovation at its Cannes premiere last month, Covino shared that the story was meant to explore 'characters who pretend to have more figured out than they do.' Marvin elaborated, saying, 'A lot of us and our friends were talking about the dynamics of relationships, and often we found ourselves lying a little about how we felt or how good we felt in certain situations. That's where the idea started—what would happen if we reacted viscerally, without overthinking? If we just let those raw emotions—jealousy, fear, vulnerability—play out in real time?' With its bold concept, sharp writing, and a stellar ensemble cast, Splitsville promises a refreshing take on modern love and emotional transparency. As audiences gear up for its theatrical debut on August 22, the film invites them to laugh, cringe, and reflect on the messy, unpredictable reality of relationships today.

"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.

‘Splitsville' trailer OUT: Dakota Johnson stars in chaotic comedy of love, lust and betrayal
First glimpse of Cannes-premiered comedy reveals a tangled web of open marriages and divorce-fuelled drama The trailer for Splitsville, the upcoming American comedy directed by Michael Angelo Covino and starring Dakota Johnson, has officially dropped—offering a glimpse into a messy, hilarious, and emotionally charged tale of modern love gone sideways. Premiering in the Cannes Premiere section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 19, the film is now set for a theatrical release via Neon on August 22, 2025. Set in a world where relationship rules are rewritten—and promptly broken—Splitsville follows two couples whose lives collide in unexpected ways after a confession of infidelity turns one divorce into a four-way fallout. The trailer opens with Ashley (Adria Arjona) coolly informing her husband Carey (Kyle Marvin) that she's cheated and wants a divorce. Stunned, Carey wordlessly steps out of the car and bolts across a field—arriving at the home of Paul (played by director Covino) and Julie (Dakota Johnson), a couple in an open relationship. When Julie and Carey inevitably sleep together, things seem in keeping with Paul and Julie's non-monogamous arrangement—until Carey admits the affair to Paul. What follows, as teased in the trailer, is an explosive chain reaction filled with tension, betrayal, and comic mayhem. Produced by Johnson herself, the film also stars Nicholas Braun, David Castañeda, O-T Fagbenle, Charlie Gillespie and Simon Webster. With its razor-sharp writing by Covino and Marvin, and an ensemble cast that brings emotional nuance to absurdity, Splitsville aims to explore the blurred lines of love, honesty, and human insecurity.
