Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin’s breakup has been on everyone’s minds since the news broke. While we’re still devastated at the end of one of our favorite celebrity couples, it seems we may not be the only ones. In a recent clip of Martin performing, he’s gotten fans misty-eyed, and so many are now wondering how the breakup has affected him.

On June 19, the popular X account PopTingz shared a video from Coldplay’s latest gig. They shared the video of Martin with the caption reading, “During ‘Sparks,’ Chris Martin gets emotional, adding ‘yes I will’ after ‘I won’t let you down.'”

Now, first things first: he didn’t add anything. Per Genius, the lyrics in that part of the song go: “But I won’t let you down/ Oh, yeah, I will, yeah, I will, yes, I will.” So, no, he didn’t add anything new to the song, but we can admit one thing: he does look more visibly emotional than other times he’s sung this song live.

“Sparks” is one of Coldplay’s most well-known songs, and it was a track from the band’s debut album Parachutes, which was released in 2000. The song is about “someone who tries to get someone to remember them again,” according to Genius.

Now, Martin is an emotional performer, but the timing of this after his breakup from Johnson, plus how visibly emotional he looked while performing, has made people wonder how he’s handling the breakup. Along with that, his previous outing with an accessory meaning “freedom,” has got speculation brewing on how he’s handling it all behind closed doors.

For those who don’t know, Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 after being set up by mutual friends. They didn’t confirm their relationship until a year later, but then, there was a rumor that they briefly broke up in the summer of 2019. However, they quickly reconciled, and they moved in together in 2021.

While we don’t know the exact time they got engaged, many sources claim it was years ago, but the two weren’t too eager to set a date. But the engagement became public at the beginning of 2025.

Sadly, Martin and Johnson seemingly called it quits for good in June 2025. A source spoke to The Sun about what led to their recent breakup, saying, “They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she’d expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.”
