Martin, 47, is in India with his band, Coldplay, as part of their sold-out Music of the Spheres World Tour, which features multiple shows in the country. The couple’s appearance marked a rare moment in the spotlight, as they tend to keep their relationship out of public view.
In photos of the outing, Martin wore a casual gray long-sleeved shirt, black pants, white sneakers, and a black graphic baseball cap. Johnson, 35, matched his casual style in a fitted black tank midi dress, black sneakers, and a similar cap.
She completed her look with a gray sweater tied around her waist, waving to the camera at one point. Social media users quickly noticed the pictures and began sharing their reactions across various platforms.

Many were delighted to see them together, with one commenter noting, “So glad to see them together.” However, others questioned Johnson’s appearance, with one saying, “Doesn’t look like her!” Another responded, “…a bit too much Botox and fillers maybe [sic].”
The couple’s trip to India also included a cultural highlight. According to footage shared on Instagram, the pair were seen participating in a religious ceremony at Babulnath Temple, an ancient Hindu place of worship in Mumbai, ahead of Coldplay’s concerts in the country.
For the ceremony, the “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress wore a printed cotton suit and respectfully covered her head with a scarf. Martin also embraced the traditional attire, opting for a pastel blue kurta and accessorizing with a Rudraksha bead necklace.
Johnson and Martin have been romantically linked since 2017. Despite maintaining a low profile, their relationship has been a topic of much speculation over the years.
In December 2020, Johnson was seen wearing a large emerald ring, which sparked engagement rumors. Sources later confirmed that it was indeed an engagement ring, although the couple remained silent on the matter.

A source close to the star pair revealed in March 2024, “They got engaged years ago but were in no rush to get married.” The same source added that their relationship has had its ups and downs over the years.
The actress’s father, Don Johnson, addressed the engagement rumors during a 2020 appearance on “Good Day New York.” When asked about the couple’s plans, he said, “Oh god. I don’t think much further than about the next seven or eight seconds. But listen, if she’s happy, I will be happy, and he’s a lovely guy.”
