Actress Dakota Johnson has fueled Dakota Johnson romance rumours after being spotted with singer Role Model on a dinner date in Los Angeles on Thursday evening. The pair appeared close as they shared a meal at a well-known city restaurant, attracting attention from entertainment media and fans alike.
Details of the Dinner and Appearance
Photographs obtained by TMZ showed Johnson, 36, and Role Model, 28, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, dining alongside a friend. They engaged in animated conversation during the evening and exchanged smiles as they left the venue, intensifying the speculation about their relationship status. Johnson wore a black lace tank top with black trousers, complemented by a cheetah-print handbag and a black trench coat. Role Model chose a dark grey waffle-knit jumper, black jeans, and a black scarf for the outing. Representatives for both parties have yet to offer any statements on the matter.
Background on the Relationship and Past Connections
The rumours of a relationship between Johnson and Role Model first emerged in December 2025 after they were seen sharing a candlelit dinner with friends. Since then, neither has confirmed or denied the nature of their connection. This new development comes about six months after Johnson allegedly ended her engagement to Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin. The couple, who had been together for around eight years, ended their relationship in June 2025.
Although there has been no official comment on the split from either Johnson or Martin, insiders previously cited differences concerning age and family plans. One source explained,
Dakota had been desperate for her and Chris to work out for years, and every time they broke up she was devastated,
and added,
They really tried to work through their issues, but the age gap was often a problem. She also expressed that she might want children in the future, whereas Chris is done with that stage of his life.
What This Could Mean for Dakota Johnson’s Future
This appearance with Role Model may mark a new chapter in Johnson’s personal life following the end of a significant relationship. As neither Johnson nor Role Model have addressed the rumours directly, the public and fans will likely continue to watch for further confirmation or developments. The evolving nature of her romantic life may influence her public image and media coverage going forward.
