Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson can’t keep their hands off each other during a romantic stroll on the beach in Malibu

CHRIS Martin and Dakota Johnson couldn't keep their hands off each other while on a romantic stroll on the beach in Malibu.

The Coldplay frontman, 40, and the Fifty Shades Of Grey star, 28, were first linked back in October and now they've been snapped putting on an amorous display on the beach.

The pair looked smitten as they walked arm in arm down the shore.

Fifty Shades star Dakota wore a white sundress while Chris sported a long-sleeved top and black shorts.

The couple confirmed their relationship with a romantic trip to Paris, and were recently pictured going for dinner in celeb hotspot Soho House.

They arrived in his jeep together and stayed for for two hours before returning to his mansion.

Chris - who was most recently linked to 21-year-old Dua Lipa after breaking up with actress Annabelle Wallis - is said to be asking Dakota for advice on music, too.

American star Dakota has had far fewer high profile romances than Gwyneth Paltrow's ex-husband, but she was previously linked to another famous Brit, Benedict Cumberbatch, in 2013.

A source told US Weekly: “Dakota and Chris are definitely dating.

"They’ve got to know each other really well and are very comfortable from one another. Chris sends Dakota his music to get her opinion. It’s more than just a fling.”

Before the Israel trip, one of the earliest sightings of Chris and Dakota was a date in Sushi Park, Los Angeles, in November.

Songwriter Chris clearly has a taste for Hollywood's leading ladies as apart from 45-year-old Gwyneth, he's also dated Jennifer Lawrence, 27.

Now Dakota will definitely have a date to take to the premiere of her next movie, Fifty Shades Freed.

Meanwhile, Chris's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow confirmed her engagement to boyfriend Brad Falchuk last week.
