Actress Dakota Johnson and musician Role Model (real name Tucker Pillsbury) were spotted sharing passionate public displays of affection in Los Angeles on April 4, 2026, cementing their budding romance in the public eye. The couple was seen embracing and kissing at Little Dom's restaurant in Los Feliz, surrounded by friends.
A New Romance After Chris Martin
Dakota Johnson's high-profile, nearly decade-long relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin ended in mid-2025, marking the close of one of Hollywood's most enduring couples. Since then, Johnson has kept a relatively low profile romantically. Her connection with Role Model, first reported in December 2025, signals a fresh new chapter in her personal life.
Who Is Role Model?
Tucker Pillsbury, known professionally as Role Model, is an American indie pop and alternative R&B artist who has gained significant popularity for his introspective, emotionally rich songwriting. His laid-back, artsy persona appears to complement Johnson's own creative, understated style. He previously dated internet personality Emma Chamberlain before their split in 2023.
Hollywood Reacts
Fans and entertainment outlets have warmly received the pairing, with many noting the couple's understated chemistry and shared artistic sensibilities. The Los Feliz dinner outing drew considerable social media attention, with photos and videos quickly going viral.
Johnson and Role Model appear to be fully embracing their new relationship, and the celebrity world is watching with great interest to see where this romance leads in 2026 and beyond.
