Dakota Johnson and Role Model have reportedly called it quits after seven months of dating.

The Materialists actress, 36, and the “Sally” singer, 29, ended their relationship “a while ago,” People reported on Wednesday, August 19.

TMZ also confirmed the pair’s split.

Us has reached out to reps for Johnson and Role Model (real name Tucker Pillsbury) for comment.

Johnson and Role Model first sparked dating rumors in December 2025, when the two were spotted on a cozy dinner date in Los Angeles. The Madame Web star and “Look at That Woman” singer reunited the following month for a night out in Beverly Hills.

While neither Johnson nor Role Model have publicly addressed their now-former romance, the pair strongly hinted at their connection when the former’s voice made a cameo on the latter’s song “Love I You” in July.

“Hey, I think you’re perfect,” Role Model sings before Johnson’s voice teases, “You say that to everyone,” as seen in social media footage from the musician’s secret concert at Thalia Hall in Chicago.

“Is it working?” Role Model then asked, to which Johnson quipped, “Yeah, but don’t tell anyone.”

The two went back and forth throughout the track, which concluded with the 50 Shades of Grey actress calling the singer “Mr. Big Night.”

Role Model was asked about the cameo during an appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 radio show earlier this month.

“Who the f*** is on [‘Love I You?’]? Is that D? Can we not f***ing pretend it’s so obviously her?” Lowe, 52, asked Role Model. “She’s not masking her voice and she’s got a really recognizable voice. Sorry, ‘D.’”

Role Model joked that the voice actually belonged to DJ Khaled. Though he didn’t mention Johnson, he did open up about the inspiration behind the song.

“I wrote those verses on a guitar over some boring chords, brought it to them, and was like, ‘We need something that swings like this,’” he recalled. “And when we got to the end, I was like, ‘This feels like a drunk. I want it to feel drunk a little bit. I want the song to feel drunk.’ And so we were like, ‘We need a Bachelorette party of women in here to do the backing vocals.’”

Role Model continued, “We weren’t in Nashville, unfortunately, but we called ten of our female friends, a few of which were singers. They all came in and we just had a party, and we just loosely sang the [chorus]. Man, it’s not a good story. F*** it.”

Johnson’s romance with Role Model came after her June 2025 split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin after nearly eight years together. Meanwhile, Role Model previously dated social media star Emma Chamberlain from 2020 to 2023.
