“While Dakota loves Chris, she’s not sure about marriage,” a source exclusively tells Life & Style. Her parents, Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, have each been divorced four times, so “she’s not a big proponent of the legal aspect of it,” explains the insider. “Dakota says a piece of paper doesn’t necessarily change anything.”

For now, the actress, 34, is happy living with the Coldplay frontman, 47, even starting a family with him, without all the “pomp and circumstance” of a wedding. “Dakota isn’t a runaway bride,” says the source. “She’s just uncertain that marriage is for her.”
