Real estate can be deceiving in more ways than one. Recent headlines about Chris Martin, 43, and Dakota Johnson, 31, buying a Malibu house together are jumping the gun. It seems Chris and Dakota, who have been dating for three years, just moved into a posh Malibu home that was recently sold for 12.5 million. The house looks delightful – it’s 5338 sq ft and a short walk to the beach and shops. Observers are ASSUMING that Chris and Dakota bought it together in preparation for marriage. No one has seen any purchase documentation. Chris could have bought the house for himself (he has two kids with his ex, Gwyneth Paltrow) OR the unidentified buyer could have leased it to Chris. But everyone wants to see them engaged. Dakota already has her own mid-century modern house in LA that she loves, and it’s not for sale. Whatever is happening, they are a cute couple, engaged or not. Above, Chris and Dakota were in Aspen with his daughter Apple, who looks a lot like her mom…

Three years is a long time if Johnson wants a permanent commitment… and also, she may be getting “baby fever” sooner than later. If they’re still together by the time she’s 35, it will be with a baby. Hopefully, a marriage as well.
Dakota was very obviously in love with her 50 Shades costar but he didn’t leave his wife and kids for her. I hope Dakota finds someone she looks at like she looked at Dornan. That sure isn’t Chris. There is zero spark there.
