Fresh reports have emerged suggesting that actress Dakota Johnson and musician Role Model are still very much an item, following a sighting at a popular Beverly Hills restaurant this week.
Romantic Dinner Sparks Fresh Dating Rumours
The gossip account Deuxmoi shared a claim on its Instagram Stories that the pair were seen enjoying a romantic dinner date. According to a source who provided video evidence, Johnson, 36, and Role Model, 28, were dining at the trendy hotspot Marvin in Beverly Hills. The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both stars for comment.
This latest sighting adds fuel to rumours that began in December, when photos obtained by TMZ showed the pair having a low-key dinner together. That outing seemingly occurred shortly before Christmas. In the images, the Fifty Shades of Grey star and the performer, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, sat side-by-side at a crowded restaurant, listening to friends across the table and sipping cocktails.
Moving On From Past Relationships
Johnson's relationship with Role Model follows her split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48, in June last year after eight years together. A source told People in November that Johnson had been "slowly dating again" and was in a "great place," appearing "lighter and more at peace" following the end of a relationship that was often "hot and cold."
Another insider revealed the difficulty of the final split, noting Johnson "held a flame" for Martin because she "loved him so much and loved his kids so much." The actress had developed a close bond with his two children, Apple and Moses, whom he shares with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Despite the breakup, Johnson and Paltrow are said to remain close, with Paltrow even considering Johnson "family."
For his part, Role Model was previously in a relationship with media influencer Emma Chamberlain. The couple, who kept their romance largely private, broke up in October 2023 after a little over three years together. It was reportedly the singer's first serious relationship.
A Connection First Spotted Last Year
The link between Johnson and the "Going Out" rapper was first hinted at in late 2023. On December 19, an anonymous tip was sent to DeuxMoi claiming the two had been seen at Vandell, a cocktail bar in Los Angeles. The tipster noted it was hard to gauge the "vibes" between them but stated they were "both beautiful in person."
With both stars seemingly moving forward from their previous long-term relationships, this new connection continues to capture public interest. As the reports persist, fans are watching to see if this low-key romance will develop further in the spotlight.
