Dakota Johnson was unable to attend Chris Martin's son Moses' graduation while busy working.

The actress, 34, appeared to be absent as Martin, 47, and his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow attended their 18-year-old son's high school commencement ceremony Thursday, May 30, in Los Angeles.

Paltrow, 51, and Martin's older child, daughter Apple Martin, 20, also attended the graduation, as did Paltrow's mom, actress Blythe Danner.

Johnson has been spotted in New York City, where she is currently filming a movie called Materialists with costar Chris Evans. They were photographed filming scenes the same day as the graduation.

Johnson and Martin began dating sometime in 2017, three years after Martin and Paltrow famously "consciously uncoupled" in 2014. They finalized their divorce in 2016.

Johnson and Martin have typically kept their relationship private over the years. A source told PEOPLE in March that the couple "got engaged years ago but were in no rush to get married."

In December 2020, Johnson was seen wearing a large emerald ring on her left hand; the couple did not comment at the time. They were last seen together during a February trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where the couple was hitting the beach.

The Madame Web actress has shown her fondness for Martin and Paltrow's children over the course of their relationship. "I love those kids like my life depends on it," she told Bustle in March, after she was asked if she enjoys life as a stepmother. "With all my heart."

Paltrow and Johnson have grown a friendly relationship in the years since she and Martin began dating. Paltrow even said the two are "actually very good friends" in an Instagram Q&A in October. “I love her so much," Paltrow said of Johnson at the time. “She’s an adorable, wonderful person."
