Dakota Johnson Finally Addresses Dating Musicians: 'They Like Me, And I Like Them'

Dakota Johnson is done pretending she doesn’t have a type. In a new Vogue cover story, the actress confirmed what fans have suspected for years: she dates musicians.“They like me. I don’t know what to say. And I like them,”she told the magazine, before calling musicians“tricky”when asked about the drawbacks. Johnson split from Coldplay’s Chris Martin in 2025 after eight years together, and has since been linked to Machine Gun Kelly and Role Model.

She also explained why she stays so quiet about her romantic life. Johnson said she’s“far too porous and sensitive”for public scrutiny, which is a pretty understandable stance when your ex is a Coldplay frontman and your dating history ends up in every tabloid. But the interview wasn’t all about who she’s with, because she also opened up about what she wants next.

Johnson revealed she feels a“deep calling”to live a more real, grounded life after working back-to-back for years, and shared that she hopes to become a mother, saying she believes“there is a soul that wants to come through.”It’s a vulnerable, surprisingly spiritual moment from someone who usually keeps things close. So, we have to ask: do you believe in having a“type,”or does it change every time? Let us know in the comments.
