THE RUNDOWNDakota Johnson is single but dating again after her breakup with Chris Martin, a source told People.The actress is “in a great place,” the source said.Johnson recently spoke about her romantic history, revealing she has never been on a dating app.Dakota Johnson is doing well five months after she and Chris Martin ended their engagement and is searching for love once more.A source told People that the 36-year-old star “has been slowly dating again, and she’s happy. Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and while she always hoped they’d work out, she seems lighter and more at peace now that it’s final.”Overall, she is truly thriving, the insider said, especially in her career as she prepares to direct her first feature film: “She’s in a great place. She’s busy, fulfilled, and she’s moved on.”In May, Johnson spoke to ELLE UK about her love life—and how her romantic history is different from most people’s. When reflecting on playing a matchmaker in Materialists, she said, “I find the whole concept of the film so interesting, because it’s so foreign to me. I’ve never dated anybody. I’ve had boyfriends, but I have never been on a dating app. I just don’t know that world. So, it was so interesting and intriguing. It’s the most beautiful side of humanity, but it can also be the most ugly. Loving someone is the most scary and beautiful thing you can do.”For her, the ugly part is captured by the title of the film: “That people can basically get to a place where they deny their true soul’s needs or their true heart’s needs because of what they think they want or need in a materialistic way, which is sad to me,” she mused. “But also, for some people, really great. Who the fuck am I to judge?”
