FROM EXCLUSIVE SIGHTINGS TO TRUE LOVE: DAKOTA JOHNSON AND ROLE MODEL’S ROMANCE UNVEILED

Back in mid-December, Deuxmoi broke the news with an exclusive sighting of Dakota Johnson and Tucker Pillsbury, a.k.a. Role Model, at Vandell in L.A., hanging with friends. We thought it might just be platonic. But on December 30th, at Donna’s in Echo Park, our eyewitness spotted Role Model kissing Dakota’s forehead and bangs, definitely more than friendly.

Fast forward: Paparazzi photos last week caught them at Saffy’s, this time clearly dating. An exclusive source confirmed, “Can confirm, Dakota and Tucker are very serious and very much in love, even though it’s only been a month.” After Dakota’s alleged Chris Martin drama, those close to her say she deserves all the happiness. Looks like she’s found it.
