Dakota Johnson and musician Role Model were spotted enjoying a casual dinner date in Los Angeles, adding fresh fuel to the ongoing dating rumors surrounding the pair.
The actress, 36, and the singer-songwriter, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, 28, were photographed on Thursday, Jan. 23, after dining together at Saffy’s, a Middle Eastern restaurant in East Hollywood.
The two were seen sitting side-by-side in a booth and later walking out hand-in-hand, showing some subtle but unmistakable PDA as they walked with a friend.
For the night out, Johnson kept things effortlessly casual in a black lace tank top paired with black trousers, wearing her hair down in a natural style.
The role model chose a grey-and-black patterned sweater with gray trousers. Stepping outside, they both laid down in trench coats and continued to hold hands.
Neither Johnson nor Role Model have publicly confirmed a relationship, but they have been spotted together several times since December, fueling growing speculation that the two are more than just friends.
Johnson’s appearance on Role Model comes months after she quietly ended her long-term relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
The couple split in June 2025 after almost eight years together.
A source has previously told this PEOPLE that their romance had been complicated for some time.
“Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and while she always hoped they would work, she seems lighter and more at peace now that it’s final,” the source said in November.
The role model was last publicly linked to influencer and podcast host Emma Chamberlain.
Their relationship became public in early 2023 after first connecting online, but the couple announced their breakup later that year in October.
Both stars also have busy months ahead.
Johnson will star in the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Truthwhich is scheduled for release in late 2026.
Meanwhile, Role Model are preparing to go back on tour, kicking off February 5th in New Zealand, with further dates planned across Europe later this summer.
So far, neither of them have commented on their dinner outing, but their recent appearance together has certainly caught the attention of fans.
