Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are set to wed after six years together.
The Coldplay star, 47, has proposed to the Hollywood actress and has the full blessing of his ex wife Gwyneth Paltrow and their children Apple and Moses.
A source said: “The couple got engaged a while ago and have kept the news private. But now they are being open about it with their circles. They have been besotted with each other from day one so taking this next step was inevitable. They are in no rush to plan the wedding but are just enjoying making their commitment official.”
Fifty Shades of Grey actress Dakota was seen wearing an emerald green ring on her wedding finger at her 34th birthday in LA last October. And the news of their engagement comes as the star - who has rarely spoken about their relationship - gave an interview in which she opened up about family and admitted she “really wants to experience” motherhood.

With all my heart. How do I feel about motherhood? I’m so open to that. I’ve gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything life has to offer.

“And especially being a woman, I’m like: ‘What a magical f***ing thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience. If that’s meant to happen for me, I’m totally down for it. We’re not here for very long, so if I’m meant to be a mother, bring it on.”
Dakota and Chris began seeing each other in 2017 - a year after the rocker “consciously uncoupled” from wife Gwyneth. And the two actresses made headlines last year when Gwyneth posted a snap of them holding hands.

Asked about the reaction, Dakota went on: “I’m glad there was that positive reaction. I grew up in a family that was so big, and I just believe in the saying ‘Blood is thicker than water’. The actual saying is ‘The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb’ which means the people you choose are more solid than the connections to the people you’re actually born to.
“No matter how f**ked up it is, or who’s in rehab, or who’s not speaking to whom, or who’s divorcing whom, we’re family. And we are always going to be a family, it’s really real. You grow and you embrace and you say, ‘F***k you and f**k off’ and then ‘I love you, come back.”
