Key moments
In a surprising turn of events, Dakota Johnson and Role Model were spotted engaging in a public display of affection in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, on April 3, 2026. The couple was seen kissing and hugging in a parking lot, showcasing their apparent happiness together.
The sighting followed a dinner date at Little Dom’s, where witnesses noted the couple’s chemistry. “They were kissing, dancing and holding onto each other. They looked incredibly happy, cute, and sweet together,” an onlooker reported. This public outing marks a significant moment for the couple, who have kept their relationship relatively low-key despite previous appearances.
Johnson, 36, and Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, 28, first sparked romance rumors in December 2025. Their relationship comes after Johnson’s previous eight-year relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin ended in June 2025, reportedly due to differences over starting a family and their significant age gap.
Role Model, who previously dated influencer Emma Chamberlain for three years until their split in 2023, has been gaining popularity with his indie pop and alternative tracks. The couple was also seen attending a Paul McCartney concert together on March 28, 2026, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
During their recent outing, Johnson was observed wiping her lipstick off Role Model’s mouth, a gesture that highlights their comfort with each other. “Based on Friday’s sighting, Dakota Johnson and Role Model appear to be very much together and comfortable with public displays of affection,” a source commented.
Despite their age difference and the public scrutiny that often accompanies celebrity relationships, the couple seems to be thriving. “They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem,” a source close to Johnson revealed. Nevertheless, their recent interactions suggest a strong bond.
As fans continue to react to the news, social media is abuzz with excitement over the couple’s affectionate display. Many are expressing their support for Johnson and Role Model, celebrating their apparent happiness together.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the future of their relationship, but for now, Dakota Johnson and Role Model are enjoying their time together in the spotlight.
