The reported split comes after Johnson appeared on Role Model’s new album, prompting fan speculation over the timing and circumstances.
Dakota Johnson and singer Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, have reportedly ended their relationship less than a year after they began dating.
The couple are said to have split “a while ago”, although reports of the breakup emerged only after the release of Pillsbury’s latest album, Chuck Timely & the Hourglass, which features Johnson.
The reported separation has attracted attention because of Johnson’s involvement in the album, particularly her appearance on the track “Love You I”.
Johnson features on Role Model’s album
The Materialists star recently drew attention after her voice appeared on “Love You I”, a song from Pillsbury’s new album.
The collaboration has generated additional interest following reports that the couple had already ended their relationship.
Fans have taken to social media to discuss the timing, with some noting the contrast between the album’s romantic themes and reports of the couple’s separation.
One user joked about the situation, writing: “the ‘let me involve my significant other in the album’ curse.”
Another fan expressed concern that the song could disappear from Pillsbury’s live performances, commenting: “love i you is being cut from the setlist we lost.”
Fans speculate over reported breakup
The reported split has also prompted speculation about what may have led to the end of the relationship.
One social media user suggested that Pillsbury may have been unfaithful, but there is no confirmation that cheating played any role in the breakup.
Other fans have focused on the timing of the report, particularly because Johnson’s contribution to the album had featured in its recent promotion.
One user questioned why the collaboration remained part of the album’s promotional activity if the relationship had already ended.
The discussion has added another layer of interest to an album that features Johnson’s voice alongside Pillsbury’s music.
Neither star confirms reason for split
Neither Johnson nor Pillsbury has publicly confirmed the reason for their reported separation.
The pair had kept much of their relationship relatively private, and details surrounding when they ended their romance remain limited.
While their reported split has prompted considerable discussion online, speculation about the circumstances remains unverified. Johnson’s appearance on Chuck Timely & the Hourglass nevertheless continues to attract attention as fans revisit the collaboration in light of the reported breakup.
