Dakota Johnson Takes a Ride in Her Vintage Car With Beau Chris Martin on Thanksgiving in Malibu
Dakota Johnson and her boyfriend Chris Martin, who have been together since 2017, enjoyed a cruise in her vintage car on Thursday in Malibu, Calif.
Getting away from family and Thanksgiving dinner, the 31-year-old Fifty Shades of Gray star played the role of her man’s chauffeur as she jumped into the driver’s seat.
As they rode back to the actress’ classic ’66 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, the lovebirds walked close together and looked relaxed while holding their drinks.

On the same day, Martin’s two children, whom he shares with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, took a trip to visit the remains of their late maternal grandfather.
Paltrow shared a rare Instagram snapshot of her daughter Apple, 16, and son Moses, 14, as they visited her father’s “resting place (on his birthday)”.
“Life has incredible ups and downs. Maybe feeling it all at once is the art,” she wrote, while calling her teenage years “two loves” of her life.

Film producer Bruce Paltrow was married to Gwyneth’s actress mother, Blythe Danner, from 1969 until her death in 2002.
His cause of death was due to complications from oral cancer, which he had suffered from for several years, and pneumonia.
Bruce and Blythe also had a son Jake, 45.

Gwyneth previously opened up about her father’s death in a Goop newsletter.
She wrote: “I received a call that changed my life. My dad had been diagnosed with throat cancer, and it was stage four.
“Although he underwent treatment and survived for another four years, I watched his health slowly deteriorate until his death in 2002.
According to She Knows, Gwyneth kept her father’s wedding ring for years.
She said: “I still hold his wedding ring. I ask him questions, I have the impression that he protects me. I really feel his soul energy, I don’t think it evaporates.

“I feel my dad, I still feel his love, I still talk to him and I still love him,” she reflected.
Her mother Blythe also claimed that Martin wrote the Coldplay song Fix You for Gwyneth.
She said: ‘Well he wrote Fix You for Gwyneth because Bruce had just died. Chris couldn’t meet Bruce… he wrote this for Gwyneth, for Bruce.
