- Dakota Johnson is single and “playing the field” as she dates, a source close to the actress told People.
- The insider said that Johnson isn’t rushing into any new relationship and addressed dating rumors about her outings earlier this year with musician Role Model.
- Johnson spoke to ELLE earlier this week about her buzzy new Calvin Klein campaign, addressing why the partnership felt right at this moment in her life.
Dakota Johnson is taking her time in her search for love. A source close to the actress told People that the single star is not rushing into any new relationships after her split from Chris Martin last year.
The insider said she’s “playing the field at the moment” and revealed that Johnson and Role Model (whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury) just had a casual connection after multiple public sightings sparked dating rumors at the beginning of the year.
In November, a source told the outlet that Johnson had recently “been slowly dating again, and she’s happy. Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and while she always hoped they’d work out, she seems lighter and more at peace now that it’s final.”
The insider added that overall, she was “in a great place. She’s busy, fulfilled, and she’s moved on.”
Johnson made headlines earlier this week for her new Calvin Klein campaign, where she posed in just bras, underwear, and jeans. She spoke to ELLE about the partnership, revealing how her idea of “sexy” fashion has changed over time.
“I think the sexiest clothing items are the ones that make you feel good in your body,” she said. “Feeling good in clothes changes your energy and physicality. Sometimes being in a big ratty T-shirt is the sexiest thing in the world. Sometimes being in lacy lingerie makes you feel like a garbage can. For me, it’s all about the way something makes me feel.”
This felt like the right time to partner with the brand, she said, as it “feels very symbiotic with where I am currently in my life. I’m at a place in my womanhood where I feel quite calm and centered. I spend a lot of time at home, I feel very comfortable in my body. Doing the denim and underwear campaign in the tone of very laid-back sensuality felt like it’s just a sort of truth of where I’m at right now.”
