Dakota Johnson has been photographed spending time with singer-songwriter Role Model, prompting renewed speculation about her personal life following the end her long-term relationship with Chris Martin.

The actor was seen attending a candlelit dinner with Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, alongside a group of friends. Images from the evening show the pair seated closely together, appearing relaxed and at ease in one another’s company, which quickly drew attention online.

According to reports, the atmosphere during the dinner became increasingly intimate as the night went on. A source told TMZ that Johnson and Pillsbury were “cuddled up and grew very close” throughout the evening. Neither Johnson nor Pillsbury has publicly commented on the nature of their relationship.

The sighting follows reports earlier this year that Johnson had split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The couple began dating in 2017 and were together for eight years, during which time they were engaged. Their relationship was known for its on-again, off-again nature before reportedly ending in 2025. In November, sources suggested Johnson had begun dating again.

Pillsbury has also been single in recent years, having ended a three-year relationship with influencer Emma Chamberlain in 2023. He later indicated that the breakup influenced his album Kansas Anymore, which explored themes of heartbreak and personal change.
