Now, it looks like Johnson’s mom, Melanie Griffith, is not ready to accept the breakup. In fact, she thinks the relationship is completely fixable.

Melanie Griffith suggests therapy to Johnson and Martin

“Melanie is desperately working behind the scenes to save Dakota's strained relationship with Chris," a source told Daily Mail. “She's convinced that they are meant to be together and isn't giving up on them. She thinks her daughter is making a huge mistake and needs to meet Chris halfway.”

The insider also mentioned that Griffith has always been close to the Coldplay singer and even considers him “like a son.”

The actress and the singer had their share of issues over the years. According to reports, they even got engaged in 2020. But things got complicated. Still, the Fifty Shades of Grey actress’ mother believes they are soulmates.

Griffith is not just pushing therapy; she is going for a spiritual route, too. “Melanie has been seeking advice from her friends in the healing community, mostly in the Malibu area,” the insider said. “She's been trying to get Dakota and Chris to work with a non-traditional couple's therapist who incorporates energy work to help detect and detach generational trauma.”
