Role Model Debuts Song Featuring Voice Fans Say Is Dakota Johnson

Video clips from a secret Chicago show act as the clearest public sign linking the singer and the actress, which suggests artists can use music to signal private relationships.

Overview

  • The song, which Role Model debuted Thursday at Thalia Hall in Chicago, includes a spoken-word interlude in which a woman answers the singer’s lines.
  • Short videos posted to TikTok and shared by outlets captured the exchange of lines and led many listeners to identify the female voice as Dakota Johnson.
  • Neither Role Model nor Johnson has publicly confirmed a relationship, though paparazzi and entertainment outlets reported sightings of hand‑holding and a public kiss earlier this year.
  • Johnson was not on stage at the Chicago show and was photographed in Los Angeles the day after the performance.
  • Coverage cites the pair’s recent breakups—Johnson from Chris Martin in 2025 and Role Model’s split from Emma Chamberlain in 2023—and notes that secret shows and short‑form video often turn private moments into public signals about artists’ personal lives.
