In a delightful display of romance, Dakota Johnson and musician Role Model have seemingly confirmed their relationship during an intimate evening out. The pair were spotted sharing a cozy dinner at a trendy Los Angeles venue on Thursday night, accompanied by a friend. The two seemed engrossed in each other’s company, engaging in deep conversation throughout the evening.
As they exited the restaurant, their smiles spoke volumes, hinting at the warmth and affection they share. Dakota Johnson, known for her effortless style, donned a chic ensemble featuring a black, lacy tank top paired with black trousers. She completed her look with a striking cheetah print purse and a classic black trench coat to fend off the evening chill.
Role Model, the 28-year-old artist whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, complemented Johnson’s style with a dark gray, waffle-knit sweater, paired seamlessly with black jeans and a coordinating black scarf. Their sartorial choices suggested a harmonious fashion sense, adding to the evening’s allure.
Although representatives for both Johnson and Role Model have yet to comment on the budding romance, the couple’s public appearance speaks for itself, offering a glimpse into their blossoming connection.

Reps for Johnson and Role Model were not immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Johnson and Role Model, born Tucker Pillsbury, first sparked dating rumors in December 2025 when they were photographed enjoying a candlelight dinner with friends.
They were seen cuddled up in a booth, per photos obtained by TMZ, and an insider told the outlet that the pair “got very close.”
They added more fuel to the dating rumors last week when they went on another date in LA.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” star and the rapper were spotted walking into celebrity hotspot Marvin in Beverly Hills on Jan. 14, per a video obtained by DeuxMoi.
The actress’ new romance comes six months after she called off her engagement to Chris Martin.
Johnson and Martin, 48, were together for about eight years before they parted ways in June 2025.
Although neither star has addressed their split themselves, a source told the US Sun that the Coldplay frontman and the “Materialists” actress called it quits because of their 12-year age gap and the topic of having children.
“Dakota has been desperate for her and Chris to work out for years, and every time they broke up she was devastated and in tears,” the insider said.
“They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She’d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.”
The source continued, “They made some beautiful memories as a family, and it’ll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship, but they will do it.”
