Los Angeles/IBNS: Hollywood star Dakota Johnson has been making headlines over her private life, with her relationships and recent dating rumours drawing considerable attention online.

Johnson split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin last year following an on-and-off relationship that lasted around eight years.

The Materialists actor was subsequently linked to singer-songwriter Tucker Pillsbury, popularly known by his stage name Role Model, whom she reportedly dated briefly in 2026.

Her romance with Role Model eventually came to an end, following which fresh speculation emerged about Johnson's relationship with rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

In a recent interview with Vogue, the Fifty Shades of Grey star was asked about her current relationship status but declined to comment.

"I don’t want to say anything about that," Johnson said.

She then added, "And I like them."

When the interviewer followed up by asking, "What's not to like?", Johnson responded with a laugh: "A lot! A lot... Tricky motherf***ers."

Her candid remark has drawn attention amid the ongoing speculation surrounding her personal life and reported links to musicians.
