On Friday, August 16, it was reported that Chris and Dakota had separated due to their busy schedules. An insider mentioned that they had been trying hard to make the relationship work over the past few months, but neither of them has publicly commented on the report. The couple had been dating since 2017, and Dakota was often seen supporting Chris at his concerts. This news of the break up comes around five months after Dakota spoke about being a stepmom to Chris’ children, Apple and Moses, in an interview published on March 5.

She expressed her affection for Chris’ children, saying, “With all my heart, 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 do his most favorite thing.”

Reports of Chris and Dakota’s long-term engagement had surfaced the same month, although neither of them publicly responded to these reports. Multiple outlets indicated that they had been engaged for a while.
