Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin made a rare public appearance as they celebrated the actress’ 34th birthday in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.
The stunning Fifty Shades Of Grey star and her handsome Coldplay singer beau, 46, were spotted with friends at the chic celebrity hot spot Pace in Laurel Canyon.
The group looked to be enjoying themselves, as Dakota and Chris couldn’t contain their smiles while tucking into an Italian meal on the sprawling patio.
The brunette beauty showed off her keen fashion sense by rocking a denim jacket, grey sweatshirt and black leather pants.
The Hymn For The Weekend hitmaker cut a casual figure in a white T-shirt featuring the phrase ‘love is the drug’ and a grey beanie.

The cute couple appeared to be excellent hosts as they stood next to each other while chatting up their friends.
As they left the birthday soiree and headed to their car, Chris proved quite the gentleman as he held the door for his gorgeous girlfriend.
The birthday shindig came a few days after Dakota was spotted at the Coldplay concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, alongside her mother Melanie Griffith.
The famed mother and daughter were seen earlier this year at the Los Angeles premiere of Dakota’s Roku series Slip.
Dakota and Chris’s public outings were rare occasions, as they still ‘guard their privacy’ six years into their romance, according to her 2022 interview with Vanity Fair.

The star revealed that part of the reason for the secrecy is the need to keep the peace with their ‘big, blended family,’ as Dakota is one of Melanie and Don Johnson’s kids (she is one of seven half-siblings) and Chris is raising two children – Apple and Moses – with Gwyneth Paltrow.
‘Maybe I think about relationships like that differently because I grew up in my family,’ she said.
‘We were all cool [with each other].
‘Obviously, there were times where it was not cool, but I experienced that, so I don’t want that in my life,’ she said.
‘I don’t want any kids to experience anything like that. It’s better to be kind, and it’s also really nice that everybody actually really loves each other and has each other’s backs.’
Since Dakota and Chris began dating in 2017, they ‘never really left each other,’ she also told Vanity Fair at the time.

The Persuasion star even tours with Chris when she’s not on set. During a Coldplay concert in 2020, Chris pointed to Dakota in the balcony and said the song ‘My Universe’ was about ‘my universe. She’s here!’
Despite the need for privacy, the couple aren’t entirely reclusive, as there have been several occasions when Chris and Dakota made public appearances.
For instance, in May, the couple was seen out on a sushi dinner date in Hollywood, and a few days prior, they visited a café for a cup of coffee.
The birthday girl also spoke about her private relationship with Chris to Elle in 2021.
‘We’ve been together for quite a while, and we go out sometimes, but we both work so much that it’s nice to be at home and be cozy and private,’ she explained.
‘Most of the partying takes place inside my house.’
