Dakota Johnson, 36, has grabbed attention on social media once again after igniting fresh dating rumours. The actress was recently spotted enjoying a dinner with singer-songwriter Tucker Pillsbury, who goes by the name Role Model.
A candlelight dinner
The rumours started after their photos surfaced online. According to TMZ, Johnson and the 28-year-old musician stepped out together to enjoy a candlelight dinner with friends during the holiday season. In the photos, the duo can be seen sitting side by side at the table and chatting with their friends.
TMZ further stated that a source revealed that the duo appeared “cuddled up” during the dinner and got “very close.” Fans are speculating that they have grown a level of comfort with each other. In one of the photos, the actress is seen sipping her drink while both she and Pillsbury lean forward for a conversation with their companions.
