This comment comes shortly after the 34-year-old actress was recently spotted supporting her fiancé Chris Martin during his performance at Glastonbury Festival.

“I love watching him…I could watch him every day. I don’t know how to explain it. I feel like, I don’t know… I’m watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing,” she shared white speaking to Bustle in March.

Per People, Dakota has been engaged to the Coldplay lead member for a while now. Since their romance began, she has played the role of a stepmother to his two kids Apple and Moses Martin — whom he shares with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow.

She added to the outlet, “I love those kids like my life depends on it…With all my heart.”

Despite her being in a lover era, Dakota has referred to Jamie as her “brother” making the good bong between them two a mutual feeling.

“I know it’s weird, but he’s like a brother to me, I love him so, so, so much. And we were really there for each other. We had to really trust each other and protect each other,” she admitted to Vanity Fair in 2022.
