Dakota Johnson and singer Role Model are once again sparking dating rumours after being spotted together in Los Angeles.
The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actress, 36, and the 28-year-old singer-songwriter, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, were seen heading out to dinner recently. A video shared by Deuxmoi and later posted on Instagram captured the pair during their night out. This marks the second time they have been seen together in recent weeks. They were also photographed enjoying a dinner over the holiday season last year.
Representatives for both Johnson and Role Model have not commented on the speculation.

Dakota Johnson and Role Model Romance Buzz
The new buzz around their possible relationship comes several months after Johnson officially ended her long on-and-off romance with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in June 2025. The former couple had been together for about eight years. Sources later shared that Johnson had started easing back into dating and was feeling happy and at peace following the breakup, which had often been marked by ups and downs.
Role Model has been gaining more attention since the release of his second album, 'Kansas Anymore,' in July 2024. He previously dated internet personality Emma Chamberlain from 2020 to 2023. Chamberlain drew some attention in November when she appeared in a video dancing to one of Role Model's songs.
