In the world of dating, there are often several things that are non-negotiable for you. Even iconic stars like Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans also sail in the same boat as us because they, too, have some non-negotiable aspects in their dating lives as well.
Amidst the rumors of Dakota Johnson and Coldplay’s vocalist Chris Martin’s breakup, the Madame Web actress was asked about her non-negotiable aspect that she wants in her dating partner. Her iconic answer has the internet laughing while some people think it was defamatory towards Chris Martin.
Dakota Johnson has one very important non-negotiable condition
It has been rumored that Dakota Johnson started dating Coldplay’s vocalist Chris Martin in October 2017. The two continued their dating until recently, when news broke out that the couple had split in June 2025, ending their 8-year relationship.
Amidst the Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin breakup rumors, the actress is promoting her upcoming film with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, titled Materialists. The film stars Johnson as a matchmaker who is confused between an eccentric gentleman (Pascal) and her ex-boyfriend (Evans).
During the promotion of the film, Johnson and Evans appeared on the Today Show, where they were asked questions related to the film. When the interviewer asked Johnson what would be that one non-negotiable thing would be in her dating life, here’s what Johnson had to say.
Like, not an a**hole.
The iconic answer has got the audience in splits as one half of her fans are laughing at Johnson’s answer while the other half called it rude, mean, and said they felt bad for Chris Martin. Check out the video below:

Evans, on the other hand, will simply not prefer a person who hates dogs. However, it seems that Materialists is not your average romcom film where a girl is stuck between deciding on two guys.
The film is a deeper dive into the inner workings of the brain during love and how emotions can quickly evolve. The non-negotiable things seen in the movie could be mere facades as real love runs much deeper. That’s what Dakota Johnson had to say about her upcoming movie.
Dakota Johnson hopes people understand her movie
In almost every interview that the cast of Materialists has appeared in, there always seems to be a question about a certain non-negotiable thing. Amidst the rumors of Johnson’s breakup, it might seem that the actress has somehow gotten clarity about her relationship with Chris Martin.
I mean, the signs are all there. Starring as a matchmaker who has trouble choosing true love for herself, appearing in interviews and saying wise words about love, and more. That is what Dakota Johnson has been doing in recent times.
During her talks with E! Online, the Fifty Shades of Grey actress was asked about what she hopes her movie will achieve. The actress replied that she hoped that the film would spark conversations about having a choice in love.
I hope that people just think a little deeper about what their true soul wants and what might be more valuable than actual valuable things.
Well, if the rumors are true, it seems like Dakota Johnson understood what her true soul wanted and got out of the relationship with Chris Martin. However, it hasn’t been confirmed by either of them, and these are just rumors said by sources close to the couple.
Personal life aside, Dakota Johnson is all prepped up and geared to handle her professional life with Materialists, as the movie has been creating all the hype on the internet.
Materialists is slated to release on 13 June 2025 in theaters (USA).
