Johnson and Martin were photographed at Soho House in Malibu, California. “Chris and Dakota came together in Chris’ vehicle,” an eyewitness said. They gathered with pals and had a good time.

According to reports, people were back on their date night routine at Stella McCartney’s fall collection showing. They opted off on the red carpet, but an observer said that the duo remained nearby once inside the event.
“They entered holding hands, and Dakota refused to let go—she was quite into the PDA,” the eyewitness said. “She put her arm around Chris’s when he let go of her hand.”
Later that month, Don Johnson, Dakota’s father, seemed to confirm her connection with Digital Spy. When questioned about his daughter’s relationship, he said, “Yeah, that is… um… troublesome, isn’t it?” No, she is a mature young lady who is capable of handling herself!”

Paltrow’s continuing support for her ex-romance husband’s into the new year. She was effusive in her praise for Johnson during a Harper’s Bazaar cover story interview. Paltrow said, “I adore her.” “I can understand how it may seem strange due to its unorthodox nature.
However, having gone through it repeatedly, I guess I admire her in this situation. I’m always reminded of the ampersand sign—what else can you bring in instead of resisting or becoming insecure? Leaning into something like that has a lot of juice.”
July 2021
Martin and Johnson were sighted in Palma De Mallorca, Spain, where they enjoyed a boat trip and strolled together. They locked arms while wearing black baseball hats.
