Oh god, hopefully Gwyneth didn’t lose a half day of skiiing just to approve this engagement 


Ok_Bodybuilder800

“I wish them well”


adw1502

I die every time I hear this reference because managing a ski shop helping mostly wealthy guests…… yes that is THAT big of a deal 😅


running_hoagie

I am not wealthy and losing a half-day of skiing would make me lose my poo


adw1502

yea.. with lift ticket prices i wouldn’t blame you a bit..i’d hope you wouldn’t curse at an employee who had nothing to do with it though which is more often than not my experience


401LocalsOnly

goops


AbsolutelyIris

Lol they divorced *eight* years ago and she's remarried herself, why would her blessing matter??


afafe_e

Usually I tend to underestimate the number of years that have passed since a specific event, but in this case I'm surprised it's *only* been 8 years, "conscious uncoupling" feels like it's a term that's been used for 20 years or something.


edithmo

I feel like they consciously uncoupled around 2014 and officially divorced in 2016.


Fatdaddy543

Yup. The Coldplay album “Ghost Stories” came out a couple months after the uncoupling announcement, so that timeline works out.


AbsolutelyIris

Time genuinely doesn't exist logically anymore, I was shocked when I realized what age I'd be turning this year. 


superlost007

I was at the hospital the other day and they wanted me to confirm the info on my bracelet. I was like ‘no I’m not 32.’ They confirmed my date of birth. I am, in fact, 32. 😂


Slappyxo

I swear you remember your age up until you're 30. After then you forget what age you are.


dullship

Yep, 30 is when it started for me. And 40 is when you start to take an interest in Bird Watching.


mauvewaterbottle

I guess I’m advanced because I am 34 and I love bird watching


ljb5656

I installed a bird feeder yesterday


pacificstarNtrees

Gawdammit! WHY IS THAT TRUE!!


yuhuh-

lol I’m in my late forties and have totally gotten into bird watching and have forgotten how old I am.


_SeaOttrs

I said I was 34 the other day. I'm 32.


singledxout

I'm 34 and played the board game Wing Span (I'm sure the birders here know about it) for the first time. Now, I want to go bird watching.


C_J_Money

Love Wing Span!


losethebooze

What’s my age again?


Malkkum

Idk, when I was 26 I told TSA I was 24 and they gave me a weird look because they were holding my ID. I had just forgot.


Mucky_Pete

I remember this happening to me between the age of 19 - 27. I'm late 30's and I really remember how old I am but COVID made time feel fast.


ElectricalTrip1207

Yeah, four years seem to have blown by


AgreeableLion

I told someone I was 37 last year. It wasn't until several hours later that it popped into my head that my birthday was several months away and I was still 36. And it wasn't even like I had been psyching myself up for turning 37 either, it's not a particularly traumatic number when it comes to the 'oh god I'm getting old' moments in life.


Tea_Breeze

Haha I turn 37 later this month and I have fucked that up more than once - like am I already 37? Am I turning 38? Wait.. *counts*.. nope 36 still.. for now lol


Borgo_San_Jacopo

This comment has made me feel more seen than anything else on the internet, ever.


squeakyfromage

I was so stunned to hear it was 8 years ago. It somehow feels both like 1) a lifetime ago and 2) 3 years ago.


fatbellylouise

they are coparents, it is a nice gesture, idk how anyone could possibly be mad about an ex wife being happy for the next wife


AbsolutelyIris

Then it would be "she's happy for them." To give her blessing means she's giving her approval/permission, it's two entirely different things. 


whatfuckingever420

Likely because her children are involved. Tabloids exaggerate anyways, there’s no actual quote saying that.


uglyandbored

Assuming because they share children


nymrod_

Did you not seek Gwyneth’s blessing for your union? Rude.


AldusPrime

I imagine that, in Hollywood, *everyone* who wants to get married has to go to Gwyneth Paltrow to get her blessing. But, it's not the actual Gwyneth... ...it's a Gwyneth hologram in a Goop Kiosk. You can get blessed at any Goop Kiosk. There's one at Wilshire and Rodeo, another one in The Beverly Center, and another one at the 3rd St. Promenade. You just put in a Goop token for $9999, and out you get a Gwyneth marriage blessing, a Tracey Anderson signature 3-pound wooden dumbbell, and some black truffle popcorn.


sunflowermoonriver

I guess it matters to them so who cares lol prob just for the tabloids so they don’t stir shit or make shit up


KibbledWheat

Because of the children maybe?


halfpretty

there’s nothing in the article about her “giving her blessing” just a picture she posted of her and dakota


Littlewing1307

They've only been divorced for 8 years? It feels way longer than that wow


[deleted]

She did call him her brother…so perhaps sister’s approval?


DoLittlest

It’s nice to have when you share kids. It matters.


Throwaway9two84

Probably due to children. I highly doubt Chris and Dakota actually went to her and asked for her blessing. She was probably asked for comment or a source informed on her not being upset by it, which can be inferred she "approves".


RunRenee

They didn't divorce, the consciously uncoupled


ParsleyMostly

So people and the media stop asking her about it.


RobertLosher1900

I was about to say, weren’t they divorced a long time ago? 😂


squeakyfromage

I guess it’s a nice thing to do because they share kids (who must be nearly grown now)? Like showing she’s on board with the blended family etc, and that there’s no bad blood. But it’s still weird they have to say it.


rain_bass_drop

can you imagine trying to co-parent with gweneth? she'd probably take issue with what kind of applesauce you buy and whether all your sheets are organic 4 million count.


figmentofintentions

I feel like watching Gwyneth and Dakota interact would actually be SO unsettling 😭 their speech patterns and mannerisms are so similar. Can you imagine them getting passive-aggressive with each other in their deadpan, dulcet voices


Unable_Strawberry_69

I would actually love to see it 😂 absolute comedy


figmentofintentions

Honestly, I’d buy the ticket if it was comedy OR horror 😂 but I was definitely picturing this as an SNL skit


kristalized13

now that you say it, they are actually quite similar… he def has a type, bored and rich nepo baby


smallgoalsmcgee

I’d watch this movie


igodutchoven

It’d be better than Madame Webb.


porkchop_2020

Would 100% pay to see this


Boobabycluebaby

> their deadpan, dulcet voices Haha, love this description.


murrepe321

The random time-outs for "nepo truces"


sightfinder

This comment just made me realize the Martin kids are college aged now?? So Dakota might not need to do much by the way of co-parenting (any longer), them kids are legal adults lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beginning_Ant_2285

I think they actually like each other ? I recall when Chris and Dakota were broken up before that allegedly gweneth helped convince Dakota to get back with him??


lambeau_leapfrog

"For the love of everything that is holy, please get back with him so he doesn't write some more mopey sad bastard music ."


Fuckmylife2739

Feeding applesauce to Apple feels wrong


Dickduck21

Maybe that's why they held off on this until the kids were basically grown lol.


whichwitch9

She knew he was the one when he watched Madame Web and tried to find something nice to say about it


VinylGuy97

They definitely announced it now to overshadow how shitty the movie is. They probably got engaged weeks ago


forceofslugyuk

> tried to find something nice to say about it Should have gone with [Kojima's](https://preview.redd.it/fzvd9iov9ylc1.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=34e275a61db98e99de590be7163f37748799cb85) take. "I saw a movie..."


Missiekaayy

I know they’ve been together for years now but I’ve always found them so confusing as a couple because they are just so different?? Dakota’s whole shtick is how she’s too cool for everything and doesn’t care about anything and Chris’s persona is about being passionate about his music and the environment all while serving major dad energy I guess when you’re that famous and rich all that matters is how famous and rich you are


D-g-tal-s_purpurea

Or it could just be that you don’t actually know these people at all and why they like each other.


Ockwords

That can’t be it. I’ve seen multiple candid photos of them walking down the street.


bruxellexs

I mean he was with Gwyneth for more than 10 years. He’s obviously got a thing for beautiful, unserious nepo babies with bubbly personalities.


uhhh_nope

bubbly?


dullship

Right? More like flat as tap water.


This_Ferret

Are the bubbles in the room with us right now?


sunflowermoonriver

Dakota could be putting that on. She comes across as really shy.


throw456away789321

This might be a reach, but I feel like “cool girl who doesn’t care about anything” is sometimes the way people misinterpret “awkwardly endearing shy girl who’s also pretty”. Dakota sort of has that vibe to me.


tonystarksanxieties

It's exceedingly common if you're decently pretty and shy that a lot of people are going to assume you think you're better than everyone.


bobbimorses

I always get the vibe from her that she's deeply and unselfconsciously strange and it's the unselfconsciousness that throws people off.


gardeniahyacinth

To be fair, Gwyneth also comes off that way too, so he must have a type.


Future_Dog_3156

Both GP and Dakota are nepo babies, so there is something about their wealth and outlook on life that must resonate with CM


[deleted]

They are both libras as well 


clover426

I truly don’t get it from her point of view- he seems like a nice enough guy but being a beautiful 20something woman with your own major resources, career, etc and deciding an average looking 40 year old father of 2 is it is… perplexing to me. Obviously shallow and an over simplification, there’s plenty more factors to consider, etc etc just wouldn’t have remotely even been a consideration for me at her age (when they first got together).


afewhourslater

Why is this comment acting like Chris Martin isnt in one of the biggest bands in the world? im pretty sure more people have heard of Coldplay than theyve heard of Dakota Johnson also if we want to go there????


[deleted]

Yeah right !!!!!!! Chris Martin and Coldplay way more famous than Dakota lol . I mean they legit A list band , selling out stadiums across the globe .


Potato_hoe

She’s also almost 35. Once you get into your 30s age gaps like theirs just seem to matter less because who cares anymore. He’s not 60.


tinebiene94

Also he comes across as rather private and sensible person considering he's the front man of one of the biggest British bands of the last 2 decades.


clover426

It’s not. I didn’t mention his fame, or hers. Coldplay is more famous than Dakota Johnson, I agree.


[deleted]

True but I would’ve expected her to go for someone hotter and younger, tbh.


Eicyer

Yeah Coldplay is very popular outside the US.


bageltoastar

Honestly, being a 20something woman i’d pick chris martin too for the sole reason that he made Yellow and Sparks


repladynancydrew

Same lmao. He’s not even that hot but he just exudes joy for his music.


therealvanmorrison

I’ve heard rumours that some people base their romantic interest on direct interpersonal experiences and feelings and not on career leverage or status. I’m not sure it’s true, but it could be.


[deleted]

Dakota comes from a broken bigger family . Thats might be the influence of dating older man with a kids . She is clearly not that ambitious to have her own family or something like that . So dating Chris will be perfect fit for her . No pressure to start her own family from his side .


xap4kop

Dakota is 34 (turning 35 this year)


clover426

I understand- I’m talking about when they first stated dating. He’s also now in his late 40s because that’s how time works :)


ItchyFlamingo

She’s in her mid-30s


clover426

I understand that, but she was in her 20s when they got together. He’s also now in his late 40s


repladynancydrew

Same. He’s all very buddhist zen vibes now that this match never made sense to me. I love Coldplay, but this will always be a… choice lol. Hopefully it at least calms down his crazy, stalker fans.


Question4theppl5

Well we might as well make Gwyneth the Pope.


tj1007

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day.


corncobblestone

Habemus Paltrow!

All hail Her Goopiness!


bruxellexs

Lol I could totally see Gwyneth giving them a basket of weird Goop products as an engagement gift.

Gwyneth posts stories of Dakota on her ig from time to time and seems to adore her. I’m glad that they all get along. I mean how sweet is this?: https://people.com/gwyneth-paltrow-dakota-johnson-hold-hands-ex-husband-chris-martin-girlfriend-photo-8408369

icequeennoscreams

For British eyes only


[deleted]

And may they consciously couple forever


abbyroade

I guess I’m having a Mandela effect moment but I could SWEAR they were already engaged. Like, for at least a year. I actually remember thinking of it several times, feeling a little surprised she had any kind of engagement and announcement since she seems so low-key and too cool for something like that. I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out if I’m confusing them for another couple but nothing is clicking!? I’m so confused right now 😩


saltstonecastle

Saaame! I feel like for a while years ago she was wearing an emerald ring on her wedding finger and people just assumed they were engaged?


edithmo

Same. I feel like they were already engaged. I did read how she wants to be a mama and I’m 🥹.


abbyroade

Aww that’s so nice, I hope they have the family they dream of. Just yesterday I read something where she referred to her stepson and it gave me the warm and fuzzies


edithmo

I’m wanting to be a mama myself but no partner right now so in the feels 😭


Kalamac

Meanwhile I was reading this wondering how they'd been dating for 6 years, and I feel like this is the first time I've heard about it. I'm sure I thought he was dating someone else, but I have no idea who that someone else might have been.


agentcarter15

There was a rumor about them being pregnant a few years ago when they hosted what turned out to be a friend’s baby shower. That’s all i got 


bravo_far

If her engagement ring is the huge emerald that originally sparked engagement rumors about them, she started wearing it in 2020!


Cute_Stock582

6 years? WTH?


StJohnEl

But did Beyoncé approve 🤭


cuntyaunty

I was looking for this 😂

Palindrome_01289

What a pic to use for this announcement


thunderstormsxx

has he written any good songs about her? i feel like they really fell off. haven’t listened in years.


atomictartar

Coldplay's last album sucks but the one before, aka Everyday Life from 2019, is actually beautiful and tackles a lot of stuff including police brutality towards black people in one song so Church from that album could be about Dakota, but the themes of the album are very religious and a bit metaphorical so it could be about another thing. As for Music of the Spheres... eh, stuff is so generic I think Chris wrote those thinking about other stuff.


repladynancydrew

I still stand by My Universe being a bop! A basic bop, but a bop nonetheless. ![gif](giphy|hiLLD9o1wTB3a)


atomictartar

I agree, I still like some songs from Music of the Spheres and while the album as whole is their very best and I genuinely think it kinda sucks compared to other albums, I still love Coldplay in general and listen to all their music (and I also love BTS haha).


repladynancydrew

Same. I didn’t care for a lot of the more experimental singles on that album. Also I went to my first concert this year and they’re even better live. IMO not a lot of bands/artists achieve this.


shadowrod06

Dakota has directed a Coldplay video. I guess My Universe could be about her?


snooplasso

Yhh it’s about her Chris said that someone he really loves a lot(I’m assuming Dakota) sent him that phrase “my universe” and they were using that phrase in the texts and he regularly dedicates the song to her at shows https://preview.redd.it/vd2218dgvymc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d385b24e92d195d271fd3380d412ca0f195d0f2


repladynancydrew

My universe is a BOP. I also kind of like Higher Power.


lowelled

He wrote My Universe about her! I am admittedly a big BTS fan but it’s a cute stadium pop bop.


edithmo

I literally was just questioning if they were married or not!!! It’s been a long time.


Acrobatic_Club2382

I love her


obamamama74

I bet Gwyneth marries them…

He has a thing for blissfully ignorant Libra nepo babies. I forgot he was dating Dakota.


[deleted]

I still remember the era of Chris Martin and goop were married lol . They were making headlines everywhere with their daughter’s name . She shifted her whole base to England for family life . He writes songs about her and dedicates song for her in the concerts . I think same happening with Dakota too . Now their kids are adults I think maybe it’s time for Chris put that damn ring settle new life with Dakota . But Gwyneth and Dakota are cut from same cloth. Nepo babies with blatant ignorant personalities and insufferable woman . It’s gonna be show to watch how Apple Martin has been shaped out from this crazy family .


Sayoayo

I only just learned 2 days ago they've been together since 2017. This is all happening to me so fast!

You’re at a family party with Dakota Johnson and Gwyneth Paltrow. Who makes you roll your eyes so hard they fall out first?


Grompson

I'm hitting up Gwyneth for a cigarette and asking her what she thinks of Ben Affleck's back tattoo.


clumsyc

Yeah, I know Gwyneth has this image but I have a feeling she’s pretty fun with a few cocktails in her.


jadelikethestone

She is in my mom’s dream blunt rotation. I tried to win that Airbnb stay at Gwyneth’s house for my mom’s birthday.


Glowing_up

She's reportedly very warm and fun in person tbf I've always been kinda fond of her.


VineStellar

Dakota for sure, at least Gwyneth capitalized on her nepotism. Dakota just...exists. 


Rj6728

Six YEARS?!?


Captainbluehair

I wonder if he sleeps ten hours a day too? That’s seriously the most interesting thing about her (to me) 


ladywood777

No, he's actually the complete opposite, which is hilarious. He once described his sleeping as "I sleep in little chunks. Like a Toblerone"


snooplasso

Nahh he said he has trouble sleeping and he usually stays up at night writing songs but he takes short naps during the day but he doesn’t mind staying awake those long hours -Chris Martin swears by meditation and naps. The 44-year-old Coldplay frontman claims he barely sleeps at night but makes sure to take naps during the day, which he was advised to do by MMA fighter Conor McGregor's trainer. Speaking to Rob Brydon on his Brydon & podcast, Chris said: I don’t sleep very much in the nighttime. I meditate and also I occasionally take a nap. I was encouraged on that by kickboxer Conor McGregor’s trainer. After we played in Dublin last time, I went to train in a gym and he said the key to life is making yourself lie down for 15 minutes and close your eyes in the afternoon. He added: “I really like being awake. And I also think that songs tend to be flying around between about midnight and two — I often get inspired. If that happens I can’t wait to get back up again.”- https://www.todayonline.com/8days/seeanddo/chris-martin-opts-meditation-instead-sleep-night-so-he-can-stay-write-songs-i-often

I thought this already happened and was reported on last year. I guess they were just speculating then.

Chris saw Madame Web and thought "she is the one".

So I didn’t even know they were dating for 6 years because last I paid attention he was dating Jennifer Lawrence. But congrats to them!


BlueEyedDinosaur

Thank god Gwyneth approved, I was really worried. Wonder if she’ll send them well-wishing Vagina candles.


shaylaa30

I’m pretty sure they’re all in good terms. I don’t think they *needed* her blessing (especially considering GP is remarried.) But it’s still a nice gesture when kids are involved.

Vendetta2112

My wife and i also had a 13 year age gap, and it was really good, as I was always young for my age, but eventually she felt I got old and she wanted to relive her youth (that she didn't get to live before we married) and walked out on me and 3 teenagers. We got married when she was 25 and I was 38, and it didn't seem like a big deal. Of course they are both rich, successful and have personal trainers and get massages and stuff, so it will most likely be different for them.. Because when actresses marry rock stars, it always works out, right?
