Dakota Johnson Shocks TV Audience with Unexpected Response Post-Chris Martin Split!

SCANDAL IN HOLLYWOOD: DAKOTA JOHNSON'S SHOCKING REVELATION ABOUT HER ROUGH ROMANCE LIFE!

In a jaw-dropping interview on The Today Show, Dakota Johnson left everyone stunned with her candid confession about what she's looking for in a partner. The Fifty Shades Darker star, 35, who recently split from Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, 48, after an eight-year on-again, off-again romance, revealed the one non-negotiable for her when it comes to love: "Not being an a**hole!"

The bombshell revelation came as a surprise to everyone in the studio, including her co-star and friend Chris Evans, who couldn't help but laugh at Johnson's straightforward answer. "Like, not an a**hole," she bluntly said, leaving no room for interpretation. Evans, 43, was quick to agree, calling it "concise" and "nail on the head."

But what's even more intriguing is that this confession comes just days after Martin gave Johnson a heartfelt shout-out during his concert in Las Vegas, where he encouraged fans to "be kind to yourself and each other," subtly hinting at their complicated past. The couple's breakup has been a long time coming, with sources close to the pair revealing that they've been trying to figure out how to make it official for months.

According to insiders, Johnson held on to hope that Martin would change his mind about their relationship, but eventually, the cracks became too deep to ignore. "Dakota loved Chris so much and his kids, Apple and Moses," a source told The Scholarly Note. "Breakups aren't instant; they continued to breakup and makeup, and sometimes things worked when they were apart, but little things kept adding up where it wasn't right for each other anymore."

The insider added that Johnson is heartbroken about no longer being a part of Martin's life as much, especially since she adores his children. However, there's hope that the pair might reconcile in the future, with sources suggesting that separation will do them some good.

But what about Johnson's current love life? Rumor has it that she and Evans have been getting cozy on set, and their recent red-carpet appearance at the premiere of their film Materialists only fueled speculation. The two were spotted walking hand-in-hand, laughing and smiling together, leaving fans wondering if they're more than just friends.

In fact, their chemistry was so palpable that Johnson even puckered up to Evans' lips on the red carpet, leaving everyone in stitches. And when asked about a potential real-life matchmaker, Evans jokingly replied that his ideal partner must "love dogs." But we all know what Johnson's non-negotiable is!

As for Martin, he's been linked to several women since his split from Paltrow, including actress Annabelle Wallis, but nothing seems to have worked out. Will he and Johnson rekindle their romance? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – this drama-filled love triangle has us hooked!

UPDATE: Representatives for Johnson and Martin have been reached out by The Scholarly Note for comment, but no response was received at the time of publication.
