Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson look smitten as they hold hands on dog walk in Malibu
The couple's romance is still going strong eight months after they were first linked
CHRIS Martin and Dakota Johnson looked very loved-up when they took the Fifty Shades actress's dog out for a walk in Malibu.
The normally very private couple were pictured walking Zeppelin yesterday.
Chris, 41, looked cool in a grey jumper and jeans, keeping his hair tucked under a blue and white cap.
Dakota, 28, wore ripped boyfriend jeans and a checked shirt with sliders, and she stretched her arm out so they could hold hands during their stroll.
It was a rare public display of affection for Chris and Dakota, who is daughter of Hollywood star Melanie Griffith and Miami Vice actor Don Johnson.
The couple have been trying to keep their relationship out of the limelight but were spotted smooching in a restaurant earlier this month.
They headed to Gjelina in Venice Beach for lunch, and Dakota was even spotted kissing Chris' neck inside the venue.
The pair were first linked back in October 2017.
They made their relationship public when they went on a trip to Paris together in December to see Nick Cave in concert.
The couple were snapped climbing out of a people carrier at Charles De Gaulle airport in the French capital, surrounded by a security detail.
A source said at the time: "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 Chris, Dakota was dating Matthew Hitt on and off for around two years."
