Dakota Johnson Spills on Her Sex Life and Heartbreak with Ex-Fiancé Chris Martin

In a shocking move, Dakota Johnson has opened up about her sex life in an explosive interview just days after her split from longtime beau Chris Martin. The Fifty Shades of Grey star, 35, made the bombshell confession on Amy Poehler's podcast Good Hang, leaving fans gagging with envy.

"I'm always psyched up for sex," Johnson gushed to Poehler, dishing about her uninhibited approach to intimacy. But what's even more juicy is that she credits her mom, Melanie Griffith, for teaching her the importance of self-love and body positivity. The Working Girl star allegedly had some saucy conversations with her daughter, encouraging her to appreciate her own physicality.

The 35-year-old actress made the confession on the heels of ending her engagement to her longtime on-off boyfriend-turned-fiancé and now-ex while chatting about her upcoming movie Materialists

"Mom raised me to be really proud of my body and love my body," Johnson revealed. "She'd take off her shirt if you said you loved it, because she loves to be naked – and let's just say she has great t*ts!" The actress giggled, clearly still basking in the glow of her mother's liberating influence.

But amidst all this sultry talk, fans can't help but wonder: what happened between Johnson and Martin? Sources close to the couple have revealed that their eight-year on-again, off-again relationship had been "devastating" – and insiders claim it was a lack of commitment from Martin that ultimately sealed their fate.

"Dakota is devastated," an insider dished to thescholarlynote.com. "She held out hope for them to be together because she loved him so much and his kids, but in the end, she couldn't take his indecision anymore."

The Fifty Shades of Grey star and the Coldplay singer, 48, had been together for eight years before their 'devastating' split — with an insider recently revealing exclusively to DailyMail.com that 'their relationship has been over for a long time'; pictured August 2024 in New York City

The reason behind the breakup was reportedly Martin's hesitation to set a wedding date with Johnson. "He just wasn't ready," a source claimed. "Dakota wanted to walk down the aisle, but Chris kept dragging his feet – and it cost them their relationship."

Fans are still reeling from the news of their split, with some even speculating that Martin's cryptic shout-out to Johnson at Coldplay's Las Vegas show was proof they were still together. "Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other... Don't forget to see Materialists!" he quipped, leaving fans divided.

But according to an insider, the couple is truly over – and it might actually do them some good in the long run. "Being separated will give them time to reflect on their relationship," a source mused. "Maybe someday they'll realize what they had and want to try again."

As for Johnson's sex life? It seems she's taking her mother's advice to heart – and enjoying every moment of it.

And in other news...

Dakota Johnson's mom, Melanie Griffith, has been a source of inspiration for her daughter when it comes to body positivity. In fact, the Working Girl star has always been known for her fearless approach to nudity on screen. "She'd take off her shirt if you said you loved it," Johnson revealed – leaving fans wondering: is that really something people would say to Melanie Griffith?

She said: 'My mom raised me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body.' The daughter of Melanie Griffith and Miami Vice star Don Johnson added: 'So I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work because I can use it and it feels real'; pictured May in New York City

As fans continue to dissect the breakup between Johnson and Martin, one thing's clear: both actors are moving forward with their lives – and their careers. With a new movie, Materialists, on the horizon for Johnson, she's got her sights set on bigger things than heartbreak.
