Don Johnson on chances daughter Dakota and Chris Martin will marry

NEW YORK - Don Johnson seems to be happy with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin dating his daughter Dakota Johnson.

In an interview on Good Day New York, the actor said, "If she's happy, I will be happy and he's a lovely guy."

And as for whether he sees wedding bells in their future, he told Rosanna Scotto, "If she decides to get married I would imagine that there would be grandchildren not too far after that.  I'd be pretty excited about that."

But when asked if he has had a serious talk with Martin about their future Johnson said, "We kinda like to wait until they get a little more confident in their position, a little further down the road with each other, then we have the talk."

She has been romantically linked to Martin, 44, since 2017.
