Dakota Johnson and Role Model Confirm Relationship with Cozy Date Night

Dakota Johnson and Role Model appear to have confirmed their relationship during a casual date night.

The couple was spotted engaged in a deep conversation while dining with friends at a popular Los Angeles restaurant on Thursday.

As they left the eatery, the two were seen exchanging smiles, further indicating their connection.

For the outing, Johnson, 36, chose a black lace tank top complemented by black pants, a cheetah-print handbag, and a matching trench coat.

Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury and who is 28, wore a dark gray waffle knit sweater, black jeans, and a black scarf.

Though representatives for both stars could not be reached for comment, speculation regarding their relationship began in December 2025 when they were seen enjoying a candlelit dinner with friends.

Photos from that evening showed them cuddling in a booth, with a source stating they had “got very close.”

Just last week, they were seen out again in Los Angeles, which fueled more rumors about their budding romance. They were reportedly spotted entering a trendy Beverly Hills venue on January 14.

This new romance comes six months after Johnson and Chris Martin ended their nearly eight-year engagement. Neither has publicly addressed the breakup, but insiders have suggested that their 12-year age gap and differing views on children played a significant role in their split.

Sources noted that while Johnson thought she might want kids in the future, Martin seemed to be at a different stage in life. The two shared many meaningful moments, and moving on after such a long relationship is expected to be challenging for both.
