Paltrow and Martin, who split in 2014 after more than 10 years of marriage and two children — Apple, 20, and Moses, 18 — have stayed close friends. The actress supports positive co-parenting, but sources claim she is too involved. Johnson is especially upset by Paltrow’s supposed interference in their wedding plans, which is adding stress to an already tense situation.

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson, who have been together for seven years, are engaged for years (as per E! Online). However, according to sources, the Madame Web star isn’t sure about getting married. This uncertainty has caused some tension, leaving the singer feeling emotionally exhausted from their ongoing talks.

Making things worse is Martin’s habit of turning to Gwyneth Paltrow for advice. Johnson feels uneasy about how much he talks to his ex-wife, even about their own relationship. This has led to arguments, with Johnson feeling like she’s always in Paltrow’s shadow. A source exclusively told Closer:

They also had some other blow-ups, a lot of them related to Gwyneth and how much Chris still relies on her… It’s always been a bone of contention for Dakota that Chris seems to need a second opinion from Gwyneth on everything, and no matter how many times he promises to change, it never really does.

Life & Style reported:

Dakota likes Gwyneth, but her obsession with them getting married is too much.

Paltrow has been coming up with ideas for everything about the wedding – from how the ceremony should go, to what colors to use, where it should be, and who should come. The latter actress finds this too much to handle, and it’s a big reason why she wants to delay the wedding.

Dakota Johnson is Also Unsure About Marriage Due to Family History

According to In Touch, Dakota Johnson loves Chris Martin but is unsure about marriage because she has seen many marriages end in divorce. For instance, her mom, Melanie Griffith, has been married three times, and her dad, Don Johnson, has been married twice. The outlet reported:

Dakota has gotten cold feet. She loves Chris, but she’s still not sure about marriage. She’s seen too many of them end in divorce. Her mother, Melanie Griffith, has been married three times, and her father, Don Johnson, got hitched twice, so she’s hesitant to take the plunge herself. 

This makes the 34-year-old hesitant to marry herself. She’s obviously not running away, but at the moment, she’s just not sure if marriage is right for her.
