Dakota Johnson and the singer role model were photographed having a candlelit dinner with friends during the holidays. A source told TMZ that Johnson “cuddled closely” with his role model throughout the meal. Both stars are single, with Johnson recently starting dating again after splitting from Chris Martin in June.
Dakota Johnson may end this year with the possibility of a new romance. The singer was photographed sitting next to her role model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, at a candlelight dinner with friends over the holidays. TMZ published the photo, and a source told the outlet that Johnson was “laying down at a cozy dinner table, all cuddled together.”
Pillsbury and Johnson are both single, and her long-term romance with ex-fiancé Chris Martin ended in June. This affectionate outing sparked dating intrigue, but it remains unclear whether she and Pillsbury are anything more than friends.
In November, a source told People magazine that Johnson had started opening up to new relationships after splitting from Martin. “[She]is slowly starting to date again and is happy,” the source said. “Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold. She always hoped things would work out for them, but she seems to feel lighter and more at peace now that their relationship is final.”
In early May, Johnson spoke to ELLE UK about playing the matchmaker on The Materialist and how it changed her dating experience. “I think the whole concept of this movie is so interesting because it’s so foreign to me,” she began. “I’ve never dated anyone. I’ve had boyfriends, but I’ve never used a dating app. I just don’t know that world. So it was very interesting and intriguing to me. It’s the most beautiful side of being human, but it’s also the ugliest side. Loving someone is the scariest thing a person can do, and it’s also a beautiful thing.”
