Dakota Johnson’s mother, actress Melanie Griffith, is reportedly working behind the scenes to get her daughter back together with ex-boyfriend Chris Martin after their shocking split. Sources claim Griffith is convinced the breakup was not only sudden but entirely wrong.
According to insiders, Griffith believes the “Fifty Shades of Grey” star and the Coldplay frontman are soulmates. The couple quietly ended their nearly eight-year relationship earlier this year, just as rumors of marriage had begun to circulate again.
Melanie Griffith intervenes amid family heartbreak
Griffith, 67, has allegedly called the breakup a huge mistake and is actively trying to fix it. A source familiar with the family dynamics said she is pushing her daughter to meet Chris halfway and reconnect before it’s too late.
The actress has reportedly been consulting with spiritual healers in Malibu, urging the pair to explore alternative counseling options involving energy work and trauma release. Griffith believes this type of therapy could uncover deeper blocks in the couple’s relationship and restore their bond.
Though her own romantic history includes multiple divorces, Griffith doesn’t see her efforts as meddling. She views herself as someone who has been through the fire and wants to use her experience to help her daughter avoid a painful long-term regret.
Dakota and Chris quietly ended long-term romance
Johnson, 34, and Martin, 47, began dating in 2017 but rarely spoke publicly about their romance. Despite their privacy, they were often spotted together at events and on holidays, and Johnson formed a close relationship with Martin’s children from his marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow.
Sources say the breakup left Johnson devastated. Insiders revealed that the couple had been struggling with the same issues for years. Although they attempted to move forward, conflicting schedules and unresolved tension made it increasingly difficult.
Since the split, Martin has resumed Coldplay’s tour with stops in Las Vegas, Toronto and London. Meanwhile, Johnson has been promoting her recent films “Materialists” and “Splitsville,” which debuted just days after news of the breakup surfaced.
Griffith reportedly sees the timing of their projects as an obstacle but not a permanent barrier. She continues to believe that if they can let go of their pride and focus on love, the relationship can still be saved.
However, insiders say Johnson may not be ready to revisit the relationship, especially as she enters a new phase of her career with back-to-back projects lined up.
