Dakota Johnson recently hit a major milestone in her life following her split from Chris Martin earlier this year.
Fifty Shades of Gray The actress and the Coldplay frontman reportedly ended their eight-year relationship on June 4, according to media reports.
A source says PEOPLE that Dakota is slowly entering the dating phase after five months of breaking up.
“Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and although she always hoped they would work things out, she seems lighter and more at peace now that it’s final,” says a close source.
It is pertinent to note that Dakota and the singer split three months after a source revealed to the outlet that they had both been engaged for “years.”
However, two weeks after the couple’s split, a source spoke to the outlet, saying the split wasn’t “exactly a shock” as they had been dealing with “the same issues for a while.”
Dakota, who is ready to start her personal life again, is in a great position. She is happy, fulfilled and she has evolved.
Meanwhile, Chris, who is rumored to be dating Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, went on “a secret date together last month.”
A source reveals to US Weekly: “They went out on a few dates together in London. It’s still very new, but there’s a lot of chemistry between them, and there’s a real spark between them.”
The source notes that Sophie “has always admired Chris and was a huge fan of him and his music long before they met.”
