Chris Martin looked absolutely blissful as he went for a swim at a beach in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday afternoon.

Amid Southern California's record-setting heat wave, the Coldplay frontman, 46, took advantage of the sunshine and warm weather as he went paddle boarding with a friend.

Afterward, the English singer, who recently enjoyed a trip to Ibiza with his 17-year-old son Moses, took a dip in the water and gave a prayer of gratitude. 

For the excursion, the Viva La Vida showed off his bronzed ripped physique as he went shirtless with some navy blue swimming trunks.

His longtime girlfriend, Dakota Johnson, who he has been dating since 2017, was not photographed on the outing.

The couple have lived together in a multi-million Malibu beach-house for some years now.

The singer is into his surfing, and the actress likes to swim, making this a perfect location.

Dakota also enjoys whizzing around the area in a 1965 Mustang bought for her as a birthday present by her partner.

They support each other professionally, with Dakota appearing at Chris' gigs, and Chris at Dakota's premieres.

In June 2023, the vocalist even serenaded his girlfriend at his band's visit to Naples.

They have even worked together once, with Dakota the director of Coldplay's 2020 music video for the song Cry Cry Cry.

Chris and Dakota's relationship is notoriously private, the actress has previously revealed.

She explained that her focus on privacy in the relationship comes from a combination of reasons.

One of those is that her and Chris' is a blended family, and that means her family's privacy impacts more than just herself and Chris.

The couple's privacy also affects the singer's children from his marriage to Paltrow - daughter Apple, and son Moses.

Another reason she cited was that she is herself the daughter of two celebrity parents - Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith - so knows what it is like to grow up in the spotlight.

The actress, one of seven half siblings, said: 'Maybe I think about relationships like that differently because I grew up in my family.

'Obviously, there were times where it was not cool, but I experienced that, so I don't want that in my life. I don't want any kids to experience anything like that.'

In October 2018, TMZ reported that Martin and Johnson were throwing a gender reveal party at his home. 

The suspicion was fuelled by photos of blue and pink balloon arches, but shortly after, Johnson's rep denied the rumours to Us Weekly.

They clarified that the celebrations were for a birthday party and not a gender reveal, with Dakota saying on Ellen the following month that 'the only thing I'm pregnant with is a lot of really good ideas. But not any babies.'

Five years on and it seams like she was telling the truth - no children together yet.

Chris of course has his daughter Apple, 19, and son Moses from his marriage to ex Gwyneth.
