A source close to the 36-year-old actress told RadarOnline and other outlets that Johnson is “having so much fun” with the 28-year-old musician, describing him as a positive influence helping her move past the “toxic back-and-forth” with her ex.

The pair first sparked dating rumors in late December 2025 after being spotted on cozy outings in Los Angeles, including a candlelit dinner and a New Year’s Eve gathering where they were described as “inseparable.”

By January 2026, they were photographed holding hands during multiple date nights, including one at Saffy’s restaurant on January 22–23, seemingly confirming the relationship is going strong. Sources note Johnson never expected to “settle down” so quickly post-split (from Martin in June 2025 after nearly a decade together), but Pillsbury’s supportive presence has been key.

Amid the personal developments, Johnson remains a fashion and cinema force in early 2026. She made a striking appearance at Valentino’s Spring/Summer 2026 Haute Couture show in Paris on January 28, arriving in a bold, pants-free look featuring a polarizing feathered jacket—solidifying her status as a global ambassador for the brand.

She also attended Calvin Klein’s Fall/Winter 2026 show in New York on February 13, channeling a chic, all-black ensemble with a satin blouse and granny-core vibes that fashion editors hailed as nostalgic yet refined.

On the style front, Johnson recently popularized patent leather Adidas Samba sneakers as a “rich-girl” trend predicted to explode in 2026, ditching plain white kicks for shiny, elevated everyday wear. She shared insights in a January Vogue interview from Paris Fashion Week, backing emerging trends while playfully dodging “naughty” questions.

Professionally, anticipation builds for her upcoming projects. She’s starring in A24’s rom-com Materialists (co-starring Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans), expected to be a major 2026 release. She’ll also lead the thriller Verity (October 2, 2026) alongside Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett, adapted from Colleen Hoover’s bestseller.

Through her TeaTime Pictures banner, Johnson is prepping her directorial debut, A Tree Is Blue, a heartfelt drama about a young woman on the autism spectrum—filming reportedly underway in Los Angeles.

As Johnson balances romance, red carpets, and ambitious projects, her 2026 trajectory looks poised for both personal happiness and professional highs. Fans continue to buzz over her effortless cool and evolving style.
