Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson started dating in October 2017, and Johnson and Gwyneth Paltrow’s friendship sparked the following year.
Both women attended Ellen DeGeneres’ birthday party in February 2018, with Johnson coming as Martin’s plus one. While it’s unclear if Johnson and Paltrow interacted during that event, they most certainly had face time with each other when they celebrated Thanksgiving 2018 together, with Martin, his and Paltrow’s children, and Paltrow’s new husband, Brad Falchuk, also in attendance.
