Overview
- Role Model confirmed the relationship in a NYLON interview published Tuesday when he discussed Dakota Johnson’s spontaneous guest part on his song “Love I You.”
- Johnson recorded a spoken bridge after guitarist-producer Mason Stoops suggested she try it and Role Model initially resisted mixing work with his personal life.
- The singer said he wants to keep his private life centered on music and disclosed he has begun therapy, presenting the confirmation as part of an album conversation rather than a standalone announcement.
- Fans had circulated paparazzi photos and concert snippets showing playful chemistry between the two for months, and those clips helped shape public attention before the interview disclosure.
- The album Chuck Timely & The Hourglass is scheduled for release on August 7, and Johnson’s credited guest spot will be one element to watch as promotion and public interest continue.
