Dakota Johnson Spotted with New Pup, But Whose Heart is She Really Stealing?

The Fifty Shades Darker actress has adopted a new furry friend, but this comes as no surprise after she reportedly said goodbye to her longtime fiancé Chris Martin. The 35-year-old daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson has been seen with a new pup named Tokyo, which she debuted on Amy Poehler's Good Hang Podcast.

But the real question is: whose heart is Dakota really stealing? With Martin still fresh out of their split, sources close to the couple reveal that they've been over for a long time. "Their relationship has been over for a long time," a source tells The Scholarly Note.com. "They just haven't been able to figure out how to make it official."

Despite the demise of her engagement to Martin, Dakota seems to be taking the breakup in stride - or at least that's what her new pup Tokyo would have you believe. When asked about adopting Tokyo on her podcast, Dakota gushed about the little one's energy and performance skills. "She's a performer," she joked. "Honestly, she has come alive on camera. She normally hides in the back of her crate. She's really timid. And now she's like, 'Here I am.'"

Meanwhile, sources close to Martin reveal that he's still reeling from the breakup. "Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore," a source tells The Scholarly Note.com. But there's hope on the horizon - or at least that's what fans are holding onto. With both parties acknowledging that their relationship has been over for some time, it's possible that they may reconcile in the future.

In the meantime, Dakota is keeping busy with her new furry companion and her acting career. She recently appeared on The Today Show alongside Chris Evans to promote their film Materialists. When asked about her dating life, Dakota delivered a memorable response - "Not an a**hole" - which left both the audience and her co-stars in stitches.
