Don Johnson's Engaged Daughter Dakota Spotted with Another Man on the Beach, Sparking Questions

Dakota Johnson sparked intrigue when she was spotted with a mystery man on a sunny day at a beach. Photos of the actress left netizens questioning her engagement status with her musician fiancé.

Dakota Johnson recently enjoyed a beach day in Malibu with Jeremy Allen White and his two daughters, Ezer and Dolores White. This unexpected sighting left many netizens raising their eyebrows and speculating about the nature of their relationship.

Jeremy, enjoying quality father-daughter time, wore white shorts while his daughters looked adorable in a blue onesie and a floral-printed swimsuit. Dakota, who looked radiant in a bright yellow bikini, Jeremy chatted amiably.

The duo's closeness was notable. At one point, Dakota carried one of Jeremy's daughters while Jeremy carried the other as the waves crashed beneath their feet.

Dakota and Jeremy, along with an unknown male companion, seemed unbothered despite the crowded beach, sitting closely together and enjoying the scenery with the children.

Dakota was accompanied by a male friend wearing a black and red cap, and blue shorts. The duo was seen sipping coffee and taking occasional swims, making the most of the sunny day. This beach outing only fueled curiosity and conversation among online observers.

One bewildered user stated, "What?" Another confused netizen pondered, "Huh?" A curious follower questioned Dakota's relationship status with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, "Is Dakota not with Cris Martin anymore [sic]?" Echoing the confusion, someone else asked, "Isn't she with coldplays singer [sic]?"

Speculation swirled as another chimed, "bt she was martins' girl friend [sic]." In a similar vein, another queried, "Wait, I thought she was with Chris Martin from Coldplay? Huh?"

Attempting to clear the air, someone explained, "Guys chill she's the god mother of his children and a close friend of the mother of his children. Probably there to chill with the kids and their other friend [sic]."

Admiration for Dakota's versatility as an actress was also evident. "Oh my gosh! Great actress. I would say a bit of an exaggeration. She's Jeremy's ex-wife's best friend though," one commenter noted, referring to Jeremy's ex-wife, Addison Timlin.

And then, a realization struck another. "I did not know she was their godmother. That's adorable," an amused user said. Understanding the relationship between Dakota and Addison provides clarity. Dakota is not just a friend of the former couple but also the godmother to their daughters.

Addison has shared glimpses of their close bond on social media, referring to Dakota as both a "godmother" and a "best friend." In an October 2018 Instagram post, Addison shared a photo of herself and the "Fifty Shades of Grey" actress playing bowling.

At the time, Addison was pregnant, and Dakota mimicked her bump by holding a bowling ball close to her stomach. "Happy birthday to my baby's godmother 💕," Addison captioned.

In 2022, Addison honored Dakota's birthday with two heartfelt photos. One image showed the duo sitting with their legs crossed. "Happy birthday to my best friend in the whole world. We feel each other like the weather and I'm so deeply grateful for it. I love you for the rest of time," Addison wrote.

The next picture captured both Addison and Dakota sitting on the floor, looking sideways, each holding a glass of wine. Addison posed with her hand under her chin, while Dakota bottle-fed Addison's baby.

Just as beautiful as Dakota and Addison's friendship is, Dakota's relationship with her musician fiancé, Chris Martin, seems to be thriving as well.

Last month, Dakota showed her support for Chris during Coldplay's headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. on June 29. The performance, available until July 10, featured Dakota watching her fiancé and his band from the side of the stage.

This public appearance came shortly after a source told People magazine that the couple's relationship is in a good place. "They've had ups and downs, but now they're definitely back on," the source said, adding that the engaged duo is "going strong."

Despite their high-profile statuses, Dakota and "The Scientist" hitmaker have typically kept their relationship private over the years, making this glimpse into their personal lives all the more notable.

As reported on March 7, Dakota, daughter of iconic actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, is set to wed Chris. The couple have been together for six years.

They made a lifelong commitment to each other with the full support and blessings of Chris's ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, and their children, Apple and Moses Martin.

Someone deemed a source by the media outlet that reported on the news revealed that the couple "got engaged" some time ago, and they initially decided to keep the news under wraps. The same source also explained that the duo have been comfortable sharing the exciting news with their social circles.

Though they intend to get married, the source explained that currently, Dakota and Chris are in no immediate rush to the altar as they are taking the time to bask in the glow of their engagement. Before their engagement was confirmed, Dakota was spotted on several recent occasions sporting a striking emerald green ring on her ring finger.

Regarding their shared life together, Dakota and Chris seemingly prefer enjoying their romance away from the spotlight and public scrutiny. However, in a March 2024 interview, the "Madame Web" star disclosed some personal details.

She spoke about living a serene and intimate lifestyle in Malibu with Chris, and when she was asked about how she feels getting to see him perform, Dakota expressed having a deep admiration for his dedication to music. She divulged, "I love watching him. I could watch him every day [...] I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing."

This sentiment was part of a broader discussion that provided insight into the couple's life together and Dakota's thoughts on family and relationships.

During the interview, Dakota notably referred to Moses as her "stepson," emphasizing the profound connection and affection she has for Chris and Gwyneth's children. She made this reference while reflecting on the topic of polyamory and how she feels about it.

Regarding both Apple and Moses, Dakota went further to declare, "I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart," highlighting her unwavering commitment to her stepchildren and her embrace of the complexities and joys of being a stepmom and having a blended family life.

Dakota's reflection on the nature of family — particularly the notion that the connections we choose can be as significant, if not more so, than those into which we are born — illuminates her belief in the power of chosen family. She drew parallels between her upbringing in a large, blended family and the modern family she is building with Chris.

It's clear that Dakota's bond with Jeremy and Addison's family is purely familial, reassuring fans that there's no cause for concern. Meanwhile, her relationship with Chris continues to thrive, with the engaged couple looking forward to their upcoming wedding.
