Personal life of Dakota Johnson
It would seem that what is missing in a person’s life when you have everything - famous parents, luxurious houses, steamship factories, as they say. But, as often as children in wealthy families make a mistake, perhaps this is a mistake of youth and it is good that some understand and draw conclusions. And perhaps the parents are to blame for this, because we all know that they are role models. After all, Dakota’s mother, Melanie, was often treated for drugs, and her father, Don, was treated for alcoholism.
It’s not for nothing that there is such a saying: “Don’t raise children, educate yourself, because children look at you and do everything like you.” So Dakota Johnson, being famous from the cradle, thanks to her family, at the age of eighteen was already undergoing treatment in a clinic for drug and alcohol addiction.
Her first serious relationship was with musician Noah Gersh. The love did not last long and in 2012 the girl began dating thirty-year-old Jordan Masterson. And although Jordan knew the world of cinema firsthand, he did not like the role of the main character in the film “Fifty Shades of Gray” and was categorically against erotic scenes. The couple also had disagreements spiritually. The guy attended the Church of Scientology, where the couple’s opinions differed.
In 2014, the Actress began an affair with singer and model Matthew Hitt. The courtship was beautiful, the lovers seemed to be one, they even dressed the same. But even in this relationship, Dakota failed. As Matthew said, the reason for the separation was the crazy, in his words, personal life of Dakota Johnson. Later, the actress is repeatedly seen in the arms of musician Chris Martin. The couple hid their relationship at first, but then publicly announced their romance. Dakota and Chris were spotted by paparazzi more than once in restaurants, on the beach and at the airport.
First roles
Young Dakota played her first film role – Sondra from the comedy “A Woman Without Rules” – at the age of 10.
The director was her stepfather Banderas, and Melanie played the main role in the film, so it is not surprising that Dakota and her sister Stella were called to play the children of the main character. At the age of 17, the girl signed a contract with the IMG Models modeling agency. In 2009, Johnson became the face of the MANGO brand (representing a line of jeans).

Dakota Johnson's children
Dakota Johnson's children are as closed a topic as family for the young actress. If only because a woman does not have children until she plans to have them. Regarding children, Johnson has never given any special comments; she seems to avoid this topic. It is difficult to say how the actress feels about this; perhaps she herself does not want or is not ready to become a mother. In addition, she clearly has problems with drugs and alcohol; she has already undergone rehabilitation and been treated for addiction. So, it’s really too early for her to become a mother, if only because she is not yet able to show her children a worthy example to follow in her own person.
Dakota Johnson's husband
With each new novel, all the fans of the actress wait with bated breath for news about Dakota’s marriage. Who will be a worthy match for the famous beauty? After all, the girl herself has said more than once that she is ripe for a more serious relationship and dreams of becoming a wife and mother.
Rumor has it that Dakota Johnson's now common-law husband is Chris Martin, who was married to Gwyneth Paltrow. Lovers often spend time together as much as possible, and more than once the girl was noticed at his concerts. Well, let's hope this love story ends with a wedding ceremony.
Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan latest news
What's really going on between Johnson and Dornan? What is the nature of this couple’s relationship after filming? Many people are interested and everyone wants to know what is happening and whether they have a personal connection. Let's try to figure it out. In the headlines of the publications "Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan Latest News", fans carefully monitor the latest news. And this is what we managed to find.
Dakota Johnson, in an interview, intrigues with an ambiguous statement: “I admire the work that we did with Jamie. We had sex for seven hours continuously, which is very difficult. But we were happy with each other and that’s great. Some say about us that we hate each other, and others that we have mutual sympathy. And I declare to you - all this is true." What Dakota wanted to say by this can only be guessed.
Although Jamie Dornan is an excellent family man, he tries to spend his free time with his family. With his wife Amelia Warner and two-year-old daughter Dalchi, they are expecting their second child.
The couple lives in London, but the actor often travels to filming in different countries. This is what he says about his other half: “My wife is a delightful woman who understands me. In addition, she was an actress and understands that a role in a movie is just a role. And when I said that we were flying to America for a few months, I would act naked in the film, she understood me.”
She understood or did not understand, but nevertheless, after the release of the film starring her husband, Amelia did not watch the film. She was still jealous of her husband, even if only of his co-star. After all, any other woman remains a woman and a rival.
Dakota Johnson and 50 Shades of Gray
When Sam Taylor-Johnson began filming the erotic novel Fifty Shades of Gray by Erica James, she encountered many difficulties along the way.
Among other things, it was not easy for her to choose the main character. Many actresses did not believe in the success of the project and simply returned the scripts. Elizabeth Olsen refused the casting after reading the source book: “Only porn lovers would like something like this.” Shailene Woodley was already busy in Divergent, and besides, the weak-willed Anastasia only caused her irritation. Felicity Jones, star of the blockbuster “Star Wars: Rogue One,” completely refused to star in explicit sex scenes. Lucy Hale from the series “Pretty Little Liars” agreed to audition, but was embarrassed at the casting and did not pass. Davey Chase was rejected because she was too young. As a result, Dakota became Anastasia Steele. The creators of the film were captivated by the fact that Dakota was absolutely not embarrassed by the need to undress in front of the cameras and participate in piquant scenes - she was completely uncharacteristic of any tightness even during the most revealing filming.
The scandalous film was about a 21-year-old philology student who, by coincidence, went to interview young millionaire Christian Gray instead of her journalist friend. And, as if by magic, a beautiful and wealthy man immediately drew attention to the awkward and shy girl. But, as it turned out, Gray had a secret - he was turned on by violence against women.
Fans of the book were unhappy with the film adaptation. In their opinion, Dakota was not suitable for the role of Anastacia, since she looked much older than her heroine and, moreover, was not attractive enough for the role. The favorites of Shades readers included Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls and Matt Bomer from White Collar - it was them, and not Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, that fans of the dubious book saw as Anastasia and Christian.
In February 2020, the second part of the acclaimed film “Fifty Shades Darker” was released. Viewers saw the continuation of the love story of Anastasia and Christian - this time the girl demanded that her lover remove all “love” restrictions.

Well, in February 2020, the final chord of this incredible story was the film “50 Shades Freed”.
Dakota Johnson nude
In one of the glamor magazines, the leading actress of Fifty Shades of Gray took part in an erotic photo shoot. In one photo of them, Dakota appeared in a white lace negligee, and in another, in flesh-colored underwear with a transparent cape.
The girl looked so innocent and sweet that, looking at this photo story, it is difficult to imagine her as a woman who loves BDSM. Although Dakota herself admits to the publication that it was not easy to act in the trilogy. “In everyday life, I love people and easily make contact and get close to them freely. But I am very easy to offend. And when a film shows your inner state of mind and your naked body, it’s definitely scary.
And recently, racy photos of the rising star fell into the “dirty” hands of hackers. With her girlfriends, Dakota Johnson took naked selfies, was photographed near the pool, where they sunbathed topless, and in the shower, where one of the girls shaved her legs. It would seem that after scenes of an erotic nature there is nothing to be embarrassed about, but Dakota herself says that it is so vile and low, as if they were digging through dirty laundry. But these loud and unpleasant statements against them never stopped the burglars, because Johnson is not the first celebrity whose pictures were stolen from her phone.
Save the date: interesting facts about Dakota Johnson
We seriously thought about the existence of Dakota Johnson a year ago, when the promotional campaign for the film adaptation of the novel Fifty Shades of Gray swept the information space. The covers, interviews, photo shoots of the expressionless brunette with a high forehead surprised at first (the strange choice of producers still haunts fans of the erotic saga), but soon began to irritate. The promotion of the film was excessive, providing half a billion rental income with a budget of $40 million, which could not prevent the obvious - the film did not live up to the expectations of fans of E. L. James.
However, this is not far from the only project in the creative biography of the rising star, and since the whole world now knows who Dakota Johnson is, in honor of the actress’s birthday, ELLE supplements the fact of her existence with several interesting details from her biography.
— Dakota Maya Johnson was born on October 4, 1989 in the family of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. After her parents’ second divorce (Melanie and Don married twice), her stepfather became her new husband, Griffith Antonio Banderas (whom, however, Dakota’s mother also divorced after 18 years of marriage).
— Dakota’s parents are famous in Hollywood for their stormy temperament and love of love. While married to actor Steven Bauer, her mother gave Dakota a half-brother, Alexander, and when she married Antonio Banderas, she gave her a sister, Stella. On her father's side, Dakota has four half-siblings: Jesse Wayne, Atherton Grace, Jasper Breckenridge and Deacon James.
— As is usual in Hollywood, Dakota Johnson began her working career as a fashion model. In 2006, she signed a contract with the IMG Models agency, and in 2009 she participated in a major advertising campaign for Mango jeans.
— In 1999, Johnson made her debut with a small role in the film Crazy in Alabama, directed by her stepfather Antonio Banderas, where her mother and sister Stella also played. However, her family forbade Dakota from acting in films until she graduated from high school.
— Since childhood, Dakota wanted to follow in her parents’ footsteps and therefore, immediately after graduating from school, she signed a contract with the William Morris Agency, eager to start an acting career: “Since childhood, I watched my parents work and was sure that I would do the same. There was no thinking involved—it’s the only thing I know how to do.”
— In 2006, Johnson “for no reason” received the Miss Golden Globe award, which is traditionally awarded to the daughter or son of a famous person. Thus, she continued the family “Globe” tradition: Don Johnson received a Golden Globe for the TV series Miami Vice (1984), Melanie Griffith for the melodrama Working Woman (1988), and Dakota’s grandmother, actress Tippy Hedren was awarded the Globe for Most Promising Debut in 1964.
— The first major project in which Dakota starred was the biographical drama about Mark Zuckerberg “The Social Network” (2010), which received 8 Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture.
— Johnson auditioned for a role in the HBO series Girls, but did not make the cut.
— The breakthrough in Dakota’s career was the role of Anastasia Steele in the film adaptation of the erotic bestseller by E. L. James “Fifty Shades of Grey.” “I think I got the role because I understand the phenomenon of the popularity of this novel,” the actress explained her success at the casting. “The fact is that this is an incredible love story, and therefore it affects millions of people. Erica has done a unique job showing how magical the situation can be if you are “chemically” attracted to someone. And you know, while reading the book, I discovered that I was much more interested in the frank scenes in how the characters break each other emotionally.”

And recently, Dakota Johnson, disturbing her fans, deleted all posts from her page on Instagram, leaving only one photo from the cover of a glossy magazine. Dakota does not explain the questions that she received from subscribers about what influenced her to do this. But fans are sure that behind this step lies the desire to start life from scratch.

Personal life in relationships
According to the actress, her personal life should not become public knowledge, so the actress does not talk about it. Journalists can only guess and make assumptions. So, in 2012, the media reported about the star’s close relationship with his colleague Jake Gyllenhaal, but there was no official confirmation.

The latter, according to the media, really didn’t like the fact that his girlfriend was filming sex scenes.
In 2014, Dakota began to be often noticed in the company of musician Matthew Hitt. The paparazzi managed to photograph the young people as they walked around New York holding hands.

The actress is friends with many celebrities, including Mary-Kate Olsen, Paris Hilton, Rita Ora, Jamie King. Sometimes she has lunch with Benedict Cumberbatch. As for closer relationships, Dakota Johnson, whose height and weight can be called ideal, is still absolutely free.
