Reflections on career and lifestyle

The ELLE UK interview also touched on Dakota Johnson's professional life and her plans after the conversation. She shared,
“I feel both 48 and 26. I’ve had a lot of life in my life. I had a lot of life really young, so I think I feel older.”

The interview also detailed the couple's appearance at places. In September 2019, the two made an uncommon public appearance at a charity function. Johnson then directed Martin's band's song video in February 2020. In December 2020, Johnson was spotted shopping in West Hollywood wearing a big emerald ring, which sparked engagement speculations.
The pair was seen showing some PDA in Spain in July. Then, during a performance in October, Martin dedicated a song to Johnson, referring to her as "my universe."
