Dakota Johnson packs on the PDA with Role Model during a night out in LA as romance heats up

Dakota Johnson and Role Model fueled those romance rumors when they were seen kissing and hugging in a very public spot on Friday night.

The couple couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other as they smooched passionately in a parking lot in the trendy section of Los Feliz in Los Angeles, and they didn't seem to want to let go, as seen in footage captured by TMZ.

The romantic interlude lasted several minutes before Johnson, 36, reluctantly pulled away, talking to Role Model all the while.

The 28-year-old singer-songwriter, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, seemed to want to stay and chat, but handed the actress her laptop and let her go with a smile.

Johnson, whose stunningly ageless appearance in the recent Calvin Klein campaign has brought her more attention, reached out again, this time to wipe her lipstick off his mouth.

They lingered a while longer at Johnson's black SUV, and she turned to give him a last look before climbing into the car.

The two had enjoyed dinner with friends at Little Dom's where they were spotted holding hands and grabbing each other playfully throughout the evening, according to the outlet.

Johnson and her younger man first sparked romance buzz in December when they were pictured looking warm and cozy while having dinner with friends.

She was reportedly seen kissing Role Model at her New Year's Eve party where they were 'inseparable' all evening, according to Entertainment Tonight.

'They were kissing, dancing and holding onto each other. They looked incredibly happy, cute, and sweet together,' a source told the newsmagazine at the time.

On March 28, the pair attended Paul McCartney's concert at the Fonda Theatre, Johnson looking comfortable but classy in a long black silk dress and Role Model equally chill in a black T-shirt and jeans, E! News reported.

Johnson's attachment to The Longest Goodbye singer comes months after the actress and Chris Martin ended their eight-year relationship in June 2025.

The Fifty Shades of Grey star and the Coldplay frontman were said to be engaged, though they were in no rush to marry.

Johnson was very much in the lives of his children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, son Moses and daughter Apple, previously telling Bustle, 'I love those kids like my life depends on it, with all my heart.'

Johnson also said she couldn't get enough of seeing Martin perform on stage.

'I don’t know. I love watching him. I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing,' she described.

Johnson and the Sparks hitmaker reportedly split over a number of issues including whether or not to have children and just the fact that they were growing apart.

Role Model previously dated Emma Chamberlain for three years – with the model and internet personality appearing in his music videos and inspiring his album RX - until their split in 2023.
