Dakota Johnson’s Ex-Fiancé, Chris Martin, Is Reportedly Dating a Much Younger Actress Who ‘Looks like’ Her
The "Fix You" hitmaker is reportedly dating a younger actress, and netizens are buzzing about how much she resembles someone very familiar from his past.
Rumors are swirling once again — and this time, it's Coldplay frontman Chris Martin drawing attention. Talk of a budding romance has lit up social media, but it's the woman's strikingly familiar look that has social media users doing a double-take.

According to Us Weekly, the 48-year-old singer has recently begun seeing a younger actress, following the end of his last relationship. Insiders say the pair have "gone out on a few dates in London" and are getting along well.
"They have a lot in common, and Chris is definitely her type," the source said. "They have bonded over being British and their love for music."
The actress at the center of the speculation is Sophie Turner, 29, best known for her breakout role as Sansa Stark in HBO’s epic "Game of Thrones."

Martin and Turner reportedly crossed paths several years ago through shared industry connections, though it was a brief and unremarkable meeting at the time — she was still married to singer Joe Jonas.
Despite the fleeting nature of their initial encounter, Turner was already a devoted Coldplay fan. Friends say she had even joked about her crush on Martin, a detail that now seems especially poignant.
And in what now feels like an early clue, Turner appeared visibly touched during a 2020 segment on Jonas' Quibi series "Cup of Joe," when he surprised her with a birthday message from none other than Martin himself.
Before this latest development, the actress was briefly linked to British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, following her public split from Jonas.
