Every time Jamie Dornan has a big premiere—whether it’s Netflix, Apple TV+, or a film festival abroad—he sends one person a message first: Dakota Johnson.
“Usually something simple,” he revealed. “Like ‘I got this?’ It’s a habit I can’t shake.”
And her response? Always the same: “Always.”
It began during Fifty Shades Darker promotions. They were facing media storms, awkward interviews, and harsh reviews. Before each red carpet, they’d quietly text each other, just to remind themselves they weren’t alone.
Years later, that ritual remains intact. Despite having moved on to new roles, new families, and new partners, the mutual support continues.
When Dakota had her Madame Web premiere in 2024, Jamie was in Ireland—but he sent flowers to her hotel room. She didn’t post about it. Didn’t mention it in interviews. But fans saw the flowers in a behind-the-scenes TikTok.
What does that say about them? That when the lights go up and the cameras roll, they still carry a little piece of each other with them—quietly, without fanfare.
