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. Talks of a budding romance have lit up social media, but it's the woman's strikingly familiar look that has social media users doing a double-take.

As news of Martin's rumored new romance made the rounds, Instagram lit up with reactions. "Good for him! 🙌👏," one supporter commented. "Thrilled ❤️," one fan shared, while another exclaimed, "I'm soooooooo happy for him!!!"

Another wrote, referencing the artist's 36-year-old ex, Dakota Johnson, "That's basically a blonde Dakota!" A fifth added, "She looks like Dakota 😍." Someone else chimed in, "She has the same type of beauty of Dakota..this man as an esthereotype definitely [sic]."

Meanwhile, Facebook users didn't hold back, flooding the comments with sharp observations and playful jabs. Another asked pointedly, "Didn't he just break up with Dakota Johnson a while back?" A different commenter quipped, "I bet he sings her lullabies."

Sources Reveal Chris Martin's New Flame Is a British Actress

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 mutual industry connections. Their interaction was brief, as Turner was still married to singer Joe Jonas at the time.

Turner had previously expressed admiration for Martin and his music. In 2020, she appeared on Jonas' Quibi series "Cup of Joe," where he surprised her with a birthday video message from Martin. She reacted emotionally to the gesture, appearing visibly touched during the episode.

Sparks Fly After High-Society Split

According to an October 2025 report by the Daily Mail, the romance between Martin and Turner may have ignited shortly after her split from British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. The outlet revealed that she went on a "secret date" with Martin not long after her nearly two-year relationship with Pearson came to an end.

Although Turner and Pearson had reportedly reunited several times over the summer, insiders claimed their final breakup occurred after a high-society wedding in late September. Witnesses said the pair were seen arguing on the dance floor, despite sharing earlier public moments of affection during the lavish event.

Turner was said to have met Martin for a low-key rendezvous the following week. Meanwhile, Pearson was later spotted at a trendy west London nightclub, reportedly hand-in-hand with a tall blonde who, sources said, bore a striking resemblance to the "Joan" actress.

Look Back at Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson's On-off Romance

Martin's connection with Turner comes months after his reported breakup with Johnson, as reported in June 2025. The actress and the Coldplay frontman began dating in 2017 and have been in an on-again, off-again relationship since.

Their breakup came after several years of public speculation regarding the status of their relationship, including low-key engagement rumors and denials of previous split reports. This time, however, sources close to the couple believed it was over for good. "It feels final this time," a source told the publication.

Netizens React to the End of an Era

Now that signs of a breakup have emerged yet again, fans couldn't help but share their thoughts on social media. "Heartbroken doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling. They were one of my absolute favorites," one fan wrote. "Was he ever going to propose? Maybe she wants a family," another wondered.

"NO! I loved these two together this is so sad 😢" a third netizen said. "Sorry to hear this, thought they made nice couple, [sic]" added another fan.

One particular netizen was relieved that Johnson was no longer in a relationship. "Finally Dakota will be free. She deserves more and better, not all this," they wrote.

Meanwhile, others wondered whether a third party was involved in the breakup, particularly one of Johnson's co-stars, Pedro Pascal. "This is what happens when you do a movie with Pedro Pascal," one netizen said.

"It's got to be Pedro!! Can't blame her tho ❤️, [sic]" another echoed. "Okay now date Pedroooo, [sic]" commented a fan. "I mean… hopefully she is now dating Pedro Pascal. Because same. 😂😍❤️🔥 [sic]" said another.

At the time, Johnson was preparing to star in the upcoming film "Materialists" alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. Director Celine Song had recently praised the cast's on-screen chemistry, describing the dynamic between Johnson, Pascal, and Evans as both natural and intentional.

"They're just so into each other," Song said in an interview. "We were trying to be specific about the chemistry between them as characters too — because it has a different meaning and a different goal for each scene."

Their off-screen friendship appeared just as close. During a "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" guest appearance, Johnson revealed that Pascal often borrows her wardrobe. "He does that a lot. He takes my clothes," she shared with a laugh.

The Final Chapter of a Quietly Public Romance

Just as Johnson had been busy professionally, Martin also had his hands full. He was on tour with his band, Coldplay. Earlier in the year, in January, they were seen holding hands in India, where the band was performing. The public outing was viewed as a hopeful sign after rumors of trouble in 2024.

In August 2024, rumors of a split began circulating, though Johnson's representatives dismissed them at the time. However, just a few months earlier, in March 2024, People reported that Johnson and Martin had been engaged "for years." The couple had first sparked engagement rumors back in 2020, but chose not to confirm them publicly.

Ultimately, the pair was last seen together on May 16, 2025, in Malibu before rumors of their breakup. The following month, amid the growing speculation, Johnson was spotted in New York looking effortlessly stylish.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" star wore a chic brown skirt and a textured cream top, partially hiding her face beneath an oversized knit hat. She carried a large Gucci tote bag as she exited the Greenwich Hotel and boarded a waiting car.
