SecondUpdate.com — The latest news comes from Hollywood actress Dakota Johnson. After ending her long-term relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Dakota is now rumored to be romantically involved with an American musician known as Role Model.

Dakota Johnson is 36 years old, while Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, is 28. Speculation about their closeness began circulating publicly in late December 2025.

The rumor first gained traction after entertainment outlet TMZ released photos of Dakota and Role Model together. In the report, the two were seen spending time together during a dinner with several friends at a restaurant.

Eyewitnesses at the location said Dakota appeared very comfortable with Role Model, even seen lying on his lap while the two shared an affectionate embrace.

Not long after, the pair once again drew public attention. Dakota Johnson and Role Model were captured on camera having dinner at Saffy’s restaurant in Los Angeles on Thursday (January 22). Photos shared by gossip account Deux Moi showed them walking hand in hand as they left the restaurant, further fueling speculation about a special relationship between them.

Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson’s relationship with Chris Martin officially ended in June 2025 after nearly eight years together. The split was reportedly not a surprise to those close to the former couple.

A source quoted by People revealed that Dakota and Chris had long been dealing with the same issues in their relationship. According to the source, Dakota is now in a phase of life where she wants to live mindfully and without regret.

Dakota is said to deeply love the creative world and her career in the entertainment industry. However, she also believes that life is not solely about work. For her, a meaningful life must be balanced across various aspects, including personal happiness and emotional relationships.

As of now, neither Dakota Johnson nor Role Model has issued an official statement regarding the rumors about their closeness. Even so, their public appearances have successfully sparked fans’ curiosity about the future of their relationship.
