Dakota Johnson has embraced her role as stepmom to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s kids.

The “Madame Web” star, who has been dating the Coldplay frontman since 2017, opened up about bonding with the ex-couple’s teenage children — daughter, Apple, 19, and son Moses, 17.

“I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart,” Johnson said in an interview published Tuesday on Bustle.

The 34-year-old actress began dating Martin, 47, three and a half years after he “consciously uncoupled” from the 51-year-old Academy Award winner.

Paltrow and the British rocker, who wed in 2003, announced their split in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2016.

“I love me a musician,” Johnson told Bustle about what drew her to Martin. “I think it’s talent. I think it’s the way that they see the world. But I think it really depends on the musician. I’ve known some s—-y ones.”

Johnson, whose parents are actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, also said she’s open to having children of her own.

“I’ve gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything that life has to offer,” the “50 Shades of Grey” star said. “And especially being a woman, I’m like, ‘What a magical f—king thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience.’ If that’s meant to happen for me, I’m totally down for it.”
