**Dakota Johnson Finds Comfort in New Puppy After Chris Martin Split**
In a heartwarming twist amidst the emotional turmoil of her recent breakup, Dakota Johnson has welcomed a new furry friend into her life. Just days after news broke of her split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the “Fifty Shades” star revealed she adopted an adorable puppy named Tokyo from the Santa Barbara Humane Society.
During a candid appearance on the June 10 episode of the “Good Hang” podcast, Dakota shared the spontaneous decision to rescue the playful pup, saying, “I didn’t plan on it. I had a dog for 17 years, and he died in December. I was like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be a while.’ But then I saw her, and I just… she’s like an angel.”
Johnson’s new companion made her debut on the podcast, showcasing her vibrant personality as she playfully explored the studio, even sniffing at the microphone. Dakota couldn’t help but beam with pride, exclaiming, “Honestly, she has come alive on camera. She’s a show dog. She’s ready to work!”
This joyful revelation comes just six days after reports confirmed Dakota and Chris had ended their nearly eight-year relationship. While the actress has remained tight-lipped about the split, her focus on finding a loving partner—who must also adore dogs—signals a new chapter in her life. “It’s a non-negotiable,” she told Craig Melvin during a recent interview, emphasizing the importance of companionship and love in her future.
As Dakota embraces the healing power of her new puppy, fans can’t help but root for the actress as she navigates this personal transition. With Tokyo by her side, it seems Dakota is ready to embrace the next adventure, proving that even in heartbreak, there’s always room for love—especially of the four-legged variety.
