Johnson, best known for her role in the Fifty Shades film trilogy, recently split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The 36-year-old actress had been in an on-and-off relationship with the singer for nearly eight years.
Role Model, meanwhile, ended his relationship with influencer Emma Chamberlain in 2023.
On the professional front, Johnson had a busy year at the movies. In 2025, she starred alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in Materialists, a romantic comedy-drama directed by Celine Song.
Her final release of 2025 was Splitsville, a comedy film that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and later received a theatrical release in the United States in August. Johnson also served as a producer on the film under her TeaTime Pictures banner.
Looking ahead, Johnson is set to make her feature directorial debut in 2026 with A Tree Is Blue, a drama centred on a young woman on the autism spectrum navigating freedom and human connection.
