Dakota Johnson Purchases New Hollywood Hills Home Following Chris Martin Split

Dakota Johnson has purchased a new home in the Hollywood Hills for $5.3 million, a move widely interpreted as signaling a fresh start following her reported split from Chris Martin.

The Mediterranean-style property, acquired yesterday, October 31, 2025, features three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a separate guest house, all nestled amongst trees and designed with minimalist aesthetics and abundant natural light. This purchase marks a return to a familiar area for Johnson, who previously owned a midcentury-modern home in the Hollywood Hills in 2016. The move is notable as Martin has long favored Malibu, and the former couple purchased a home there in 2020.

Johnson and Martin reportedly began dating in 2017, publicly confirming their relationship a year later, and moved in together in 2021. Their engagement became public knowledge in early 2025, but sources indicated a breakup in June 2025. According to The Sun, a source revealed that “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.” This difference in life goals is believed to have contributed to the split, potentially impacting their future as a couple.

The real estate move suggests Johnson is prioritizing her own preferences and future plans as she navigates life post-relationship, a common step for individuals seeking independence. For more on celebrity real estate, see Architectural Digest.

Representatives for Johnson and Martin have not yet commented on the purchase or the status of their relationship.
