Dakota Johnson and a Possible Role Model Companion: A Dinner Date Sparks Relationship Speculation in Los Angeles

Dakota Johnson, the "Madame Web" star, is sparking dating rumors with singer-songwriter Role Model (Tucker Pillsbury), following their recent sightings in Los Angeles. The actress, 36, and the musician, 28, have been spotted together twice in recent weeks, fueling speculation about a potential romance.

On January 14, 2026, Johnson and Pillsbury were seen entering Marvin, a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Deuxmoi shared a video of the pair arriving at the restaurant. Prior to this, they were photographed at a candlelit dinner with friends on December 29. TMZ published photos from the December outing, showing Johnson and Pillsbury sitting closely and engaging in conversation. An insider claimed that they "got very close" that evening. Sources also told Entertainment Tonight that they spent New Year's Eve together, "kissing, dancing, and holding on to each other” at a party hosted by Johnson, where her mother was also present and "completely comfortable" around Pillsbury.

This potential relationship comes after Johnson's split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in June 2025. The two were together for eight years, although their engagement was rumored to be on-again, off-again. A source told People in November that Johnson was "slowly dating again" and "happy" following the breakup. Some reports indicate that the 12-year age gap between Johnson and Martin and their differing views on having children contributed to the split. Martin, who already has two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, was reportedly "kind of done with that part of his life". Since the separation, Martin has been rumored to be dating Sophie Turner.

Role Model was last publicly linked to influencer Emma Chamberlain, whom he dated from 2020 to 2023. Neither Johnson nor Role Model have commented on the dating rumors.

Prior to these rumored dates, Johnson attended the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia last month. She wore a strapless black gown designed by Alessandra Rich. In November, she posed for Valentino’s cruise 2026 campaign, years after becoming a Gucci brand ambassador.
