Now, all eyes are on his sizzling on-screen dynamic with Dakota Johnson in Materialists, the film that also stars Chris Evans. Since its release, social media has been alight with whispers, memes, and theories about their undeniable chemistry. This unexpected pairing has become the pop culture obsession nobody saw coming, but everybody loves.

Are Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson Hollywood’s next couple, or is the internet just shipping hard? The truth behind the headlines is here.

Inside Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson’s buzzed-about chemistry

They shared a kiss in Manhattan, cozied up at a Stevie Nicks concert in London, and charmed fans during press rounds for Materialists, so naturally, the internet exploded with dating rumors. With Dakota Johnson reportedly parting ways with longtime partner Chris Martin, and Pedro Pascal staying mysteriously silent about his love life, curiosity skyrocketed. Add whispers of a Jennifer Aniston link, and the gossip practically wrote itself. Yet, sources insist their bond is purely platonic, a dazzling friendship, not the Hollywood romance fans were desperately hoping for.

Those on-set kissing scenes from The Materialists only added fuel to the already blazing rumor mill. Speculation hit a fever pitch when RadarOnline alleged that Dakota Johnson and Jennifer Aniston were caught in a “friendly but fierce” tug-of-war over Pedro Pascal’s affections. The idea of a behind-the-scenes love triangle had gossip blogs spinning tales of Hollywood drama. However, with no romance confirmed, and no rivalries proven, fans are left playing detective, wondering who, if anyone, truly holds Johnson’s heart.

While Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal keep fueling fan fantasies, her heart belongs elsewhere, so who exactly has captured the queen of cool off-camera?

Who is Dakota Johnson dating?

Dakota Johnson has officially closed the chapter on her long-running, on-and-off romance with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. While the rumor mill has tossed out a carousel of possible new flames, ranging from co-stars to mystery party dates, none have stuck. As of now, the Fifty Shades of Grey star is keeping her love life delightfully dull. In fact, it seems Johnson is done with grey areas altogether, choosing clarity, solitude, and probably a good skincare routine over romantic chaos.

Dakota Johnson may not be romantically involved with Pedro Pascal, but the R-rated film The Materialists director Celine Song admitted the trio, Johnson, Pascal, and Chris Evans, were practically inseparable on set. Ahead of the film’s June 13 release, Song told Empire that the three stars were deeply connected, both on and off camera, joking, “They’re just so into each other.” Their natural spark was intentionally harnessed to shape the shifting chemistry in every scene. But despite the rumors swirling online, the Johnson-Pascal romance remains pure fan fiction, wishful thinking dressed up as headlines.
