Last year, Dakota Johnson split with Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin.
That relationship may have ended, but she’s still feeling the music.
The nepo baby actress’ new man is reportedly someone a whopping 20 years younger than her ex.
Good for her!
Good for them!
TMZ reports that Johnson and Role Model dined together at a trendy restaurants in Los Angeles on Thursday, January 22.
It was not just the two of them — another friend was reportedly present.
Both appeared to be beaming.
Johnson is described as having talked animatedly during the meal.
But why do people take that as a relationship launch? Well …

The same report details that Johnson and Role Model also engaged in some hand-holding.
Cute!
This was not in the restaurant itself, but only after they took to the street.
Johnson appeared totally enamored, with a massive smile on her face.
This is not even their first get-together with romantic vibes.
How long has this been going on?
According to TMZ, Johnson and Role Model also shared a cozy candlelight dinner back in December.
Even then, they were not alone.
The two dined with friends.
However, eyewitnesses described the actress as cuddly with him, even “lying on him” (more or less).
That admittedly sounds very cute. And if they’re doing on (alleged) friend dates, then they have more in common than just mutual interest.
As we acknowledged, Johnson had been in a relationship with Chris Martin until last year.
That was a long-term romance.
Meanwhile, Role Model was in a romance with influencer Emma Chamberlain for three years until their own breakup.
(His 2024 album, “Kansas Anymore,” is believed to be about their split)
Sometimes, people just rebound. Other times, however, two people are single at just the right time to build something new that lasts.
Who is Role Model?
Role Model, whose name is often stylized in all caps, is a singer-songwriter and a former rapper.
He launched his music career as Tucker (his full birth name is Tucker Harrington Pillsbury).
As Role Model, he has seen a fair amount of growing success over the past several years.
Notably, Chris Martin was born in 1977. Role Model was born in 1997.
Some would say that Johnson, born in 1989, has upgraded. But please don’t call her a cougar. They’re not even a decade apart.

Sometimes, fans declare a celebrity “unrecognizable” over bangs or makeup.
This is a bit different. This is a total transformation.
Beloved celebrity chef Guy Fieri is getting praised, heckled, and everything in between over his stunning new look.
Happy 58th birthday, stranger! Care to explain?
Why does he look like that?
On Thursday, January 22, the legendary Food Network star celebrated his birthday.
Now 58, he shared an Instagram video in which he has totally redone his appearance to look genuinely, truly, unrecognizable.
He’s dressed like a run-of-the-mill man from the late ’70s. He’s wearing a tucked-in shirt (like a member of a cult), and belted khaki pants.
Fieri is cleanshaven. He’s also sporting a brown hairdo instead of his platinum spikes.
We’re pretty good at picking out faces (usually). This? This was a shock.
You see this and you start to understand stories of Dolly Parton going out on the town in different attire and not being recognized.
“Hey there!” Fieri said in the video, addressing his fans and followers.
“After so many years of celebrating my birthday as Guy,” he joked, “I figured this year I’d celebrate it as just a guy.”
Fieri cheered: “Happy birthday to me!” He then blew out the candles.
In the caption, he wrote: “New Year. New Guy. New look.”
Some laugh with the joke, but others have serious questions
The comments are full of mixed reactions to this extremely polarizing gag.
And, to be clear, the Mayor of Flavortown removing all hints of spice from his appearance is very much a gag.
His son, Hunter Fieri, asked: “Dad … when did you start selling insurance?”
(There can be surprisingly fun and interesting people who sell insurance and do other “normie” jobs, but we understand this meaning)
Tournament of Champions victor Maneet Chauhan commented: “It’s your b’day and you give us the gift of laughter! This is amazing Happy Happy Happy B’day.”
Guy fieri dressing normal and being unrecognizable is a good bit

However, not everyone was a fan — and it wasn’t about the look itself, even if some uncharitably drew comparisons to Charlie Kirk.
Was this the result of a stylist, using makeup and a wig and different clothing to rework the celebrity chef’s look in a very specific type of lighting?
Or did Fieri (or others) use generative AI to alter his appearance? Some commenters are outright accusing him of doing so, given specific elements to the video.
Hair and makeup experts are artists and craftspeople. Their work has value and deserves praise.
Using generative AI, on the other hand, is simply inexcusable. It’s 2026, and everyone should know better.
What is the new look for?
A man does not need an excuse to pull off a new look as a prank when turning 58.
But is there something more to this?
Some on social media are speculating that Fieri’s new look is part of an upcoming Super Bowl ad.
(The Super Bowl is a big football game — Bad Bunny is playing the Halftime show this year! — featuring expensive commercials)
If that’s the case, we’ll find out on Sunday, February 8. Until then, happy birthday, Mr. Fieri!

In October, a North Carolina man named Wellington Delano Dickens III called 911 and told the operator that he had killed four of his children.
Dickens later confessed to burying a fifth child — a one-month-old infant named Riley — in the woods near his home.
Dickens tells authorities that Riley’s health declined shortly after the family moved to a home in Zebulon, east of Raleigh.
Latest confession comes weeks after Dickens admitted to killing four children
Dickens has been in police custody since October 27 when he called 911 to confess that he had killed four children.
Police arrived at his home to find four of Dickens’ kids aged 6, 9, and 10, along with his 18-year-old stepchild, inside the trunk of a car parked in his garage.
New details of the case continue to emerge, and this week, we learned that Dickens used the dating app Grindr to invite multiple men to his home during the weeks while his children’s bodies were in his trunk.
“Dickens continued to speak with the dispatcher saying that he did not torture his children, he over-disciplined his children and was wanting to turn himself in,” reads an affidavit in the case.
Dickens’ wife passed away in April, leaving him to care for his four children and adult stepchild.
Insiders say he had been acting erratically since his father passed the previous year.
Authorities say they’ve been unable to locate child’s remains
When Riley died, Dickens says, he wrapped him in plastic and disposed of the body.
The death was not reported to authorities until the moment that Dickens, 38, made his shocking confession.
Authorities searched the area that Dickens described, but were unable to locate Riley’s body.
According to NBC News, they have requested additional resources to aid in the search.
Johnston County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jeff Caldwell told reporters that the search for Riley’s remains is ongoing and no additional charges have been filed against Dickens.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

The FBI has apprehended one of its most wanted alleged criminals.
Ryan Wedding made a name for himself as an Olympic snowboarder for Team Canada back in 2002.
But according to investigators, he then shifted his focus to international drug trafficking.
The FBI claims that Wedding is one of the most feared kingpins on the planet and has ordered murders of multiple witnesses — and now he’s finally in custody.
According to US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Wedding was arrested in Mexico on Thursday.
“At my direction, Department of Justice agents @FBI have apprehended yet another member of the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted List: Ryan Wedding, the onetime Olympian snowboarder-turned alleged violent cocaine kingpin,” Bondi wrote on X (formerly Twitter) today.
“Wedding was flown to the United States where he will face justice,” she continued, adding:
“This is a direct result of President Trump’s law-and-order leadership. Under @POTUS, criminals have no safe harbor.
“Director Patel has worked tirelessly to bring fugitives to justice. We are grateful to our incredible Ambassador Ron Johnson and the Mexican authorities for assisting us in this case.”
“This is a huge day for a safer North America, and the world, and a message that those who break our laws and harm our citizens will be brought to justice,” Patel wrote on his own X account.
The FBI has been in pursuit of Wedding since November of 2025, when he was charged with murder and money laundering and added to the agency’s Most Wanted list.
The US government offered a $15 million bounty for his arrest.
Investigators claim that Wedding made tens of millions by shipping more than 130,000 lbs of cocaine a year.
Wedding has also been indicted for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, conspiracy to export cocaine, continuing criminal enterprise, and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and drug crime.
Wedding’s alleged accomplice Andrew Clark was arrested in Mexico in 2024. He has since been handed over to the United States to face trial.
The FBI and DOJ are planning to reveal more information at a press conference later today.

He’s not beating the himbo allegations.
You’d think that Travis Kelce, of all people, would catch a Taylor Swift reference right away.
Especially when it’s a reference to a song about him. A song about his apparently magnificent dong, no less.
We understand that he’s good at football. He should probably stick to that.
‘What’s that mean?’
During the Wednesday, January 21 episode of the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast, a fan left them stumped.
Jason read a fan’s note: “‘I can’t believe none of the hoodies are called ‘New Heights of Man-Hoodie.’’”
Visibly confused, he commented: “I don’t know what the f–k that means, but she’s disappointed.”
Say what you will about the Kelce boys, but they aren’t incurious.
Jason asked: “What’s that mean? What’s a ‘man-hoodie?’ Is that a thing?”
Neither Jason nor Travis seemed to catch the reference.
Fortunately, producer Brandon Borders stepped in to explain the lyrical reference.
“It’s a Life of a Showgirl reference, boys, come on,” Brandon said, roasting them.
“The lyric, ‘New Heights of manhood,’” he spelled it out.
As if exasperated, Brandon added: “It’s the time we were referenced in the album.”
‘Taylor’s going to kill me’
Travis appeared to need to take a moment to process this.
“I didn’t understand that,” he admitted.
Travis then joked: “Taylor’s going to kill me for not knowing that.”
It wasn’t merely a song about him that happened to refer to his podcast.
Taylor spent much of the song glorifying Travis’ penis. The song is called “Wood.” It’s not subtle.
Jason generously suggested a reason why the reference flew over their heads.
“We’re not as good with the Easter eggs as these Swifties,” he admitted.
(The humble approach is smart, and is often accepted!)
Travis chimed in: “They sure know how to plant them and call them out.”
Yes. Also, Swifties are Taylor’s most obsessive fans. Though … would that not include Travis?
Maybe him missing the reference makes sense?
The difference between Travis and Swifties is that they know her music, her public persona, her public history, her career, her impact.
Travis knows the woman herself. We don’t.
It might feel like we do, at times, but we do not know Taylor.
The rest of us have time to pour over her lyrics because that’s the relationship that she has with fans. Travis has a different, non-parasocial relationship with Taylor that goes well beyond lyrical analysis.
Also many believe that he’s kind of a dummy. Affectionately speaking, of course.

Sometimes, it takes maturity to see why people worried about your immaturity.
We reported that Unexpected Season 7 will feature a 13-year-old father-to-be.
That child is Hunter. The child who has since given birth to his baby is now 15.
Will Bella Vaughn face legal consequences for getting pregnant by a then-12-year-old? Here’s what she has to say.
Unexpected is both an indictment of society as a whole and an attempt to be the next Teen Mom.
But when Hunter and Bella conceived, he wasn’t a candidate to be a “teen dad.”
She was 14, and he was 12.
Bella has just recently turned 16. She says that Hunter turned 13 shortly after their catastrophic contraceptive failure.
This week, she took to TikTok to address speculation that she will — or “should” — face legal consequences.
@_izabellamarie sorry i talk with my hands a lot lol #rumors #15andpregnant💙 #boymama #teenmom #mamasboy @KrisNFalen ♬ original sound – bella🐆🎱 | boy mama 💙👶🏼
“I definitely think it is overdue for me to make this video,” the 16-year-old began.
“Y’all have really hit the mark with me,” Bella admitted.
“I know they say that when you’re on TV, you can’t let things get to you,” she acknowledged.
“But,” Bella emphasized, “you guys are way overdoing it.”
She declared: “There’s so much more that people have put out there that is a lie.”
“Hunter is a father! Just because he was 12 [when he got me pregnant], he turned 13 a few days later!” Bella argued.
“I understand it doesn’t make it any better. I understand,” she added.
Bella continued: “He was sexually ready faster than I was, and that’s OK. But I was ready when we had sex.”
She urged: “You can all stop saying it was illegal and that I raped him, because I didn’t. It was both consensual on both sides.”
Bella emphasized: “People have already said that. We have already talked to the cops about it. It was consensual.”
Additionally, Bella hit back at claims that she “ruined” Hunter’s life.
“When I found out I was pregnant, I gave Hunter the option,” she described.
Bella recalled: “I said, ‘If you can’t do this or you don’t want to be here, that is fine, I understand. I can do this on my own or with you. It’s your decision. Whatever you choose I’m fine with.’”
She continued: “He chose to stay with me. He chose to take care of our baby. Y’all can all stop saying that now.”
Bella also defended her mother, claiming that both her and her sister being pregnant as teens was “not a parenting issue.”
First of all, it sounds like Bella and Hunter were a little over a year apart.
While these are arguably developmentally normal times to develop an interest in sex, that is a big age gap when at least one party is a middle schooler. If they’d both been in high school, the only issue would be the pregnancy.
Secondly, no, Bella didn’t “ruin” Hunter’s life. They were both involved in this. You might argue that they have ruined each other’s lives (and Wes’ life), but clearly, Bella would disagree.
It’s really important to note that Bella and Hunter are both children. That’s why they’ve made life-altering mistakes.
This is a tragedy. TLC is turning their story and others into sideshow entertainment. One day, when Bella is mature enough to see her situation clearly, she’ll likely understand the horror that we feel for her, for Hunter, and for baby Wes.

It looks like another messy divorce for actress and model Jaime King.
Yes, less than two years after King finalized her split from Kyle Newman, her second husband, Austin Sosa, has filed for divorce.
The move comes just six months after Jaime and Austin tied the knot.
In fact, the marriage is so new that until this week, no one knew that Jaime had remarried!
She and Austin announced their engagement back in July. Now, it seems that the couple secretly got hitched that same month.
Austin filed for divorce on Thursday, and while the reason for his decision remains unknown, many believe that the news has to do with Jaime’s recent behavior.
TMZ was the first to break the news of the divorce, and the outlet also notes that Jaime has been spotted around Los Angeles “getting cozy” with hotelier Vikram Chatwal.
Again, we don’t know why Sosa chose to pull the plug, but it’s interesting that the move came amid rumors about King and Chatwal.
In a statement to Page Six, King revealed that she was “blindsided” by the filing.
“I was completely blindsided by the divorce filing, which came out of nowhere,” King said, adding:
“I was with Austin the night before it became public, and while like many marriages we had normal challenges, I genuinely believed we were working on our relationship.”
She went on to claim that there was nothing untoward about her relationship with Chatwal, saying:
“Any recent interactions being referenced publicly were strictly professional business meetings and have no connection to this private matter.”
News of Jaime’s engagement to Austin, an investment banker, was confirmed by her publicist after King was spotted sporting a massive diamond ring over the summer.
“Jaime is embracing a joyful new chapter with her engagement to Austin Sosa,” said the rep, adding:
“She’s especially happy to share this moment with her children, who have a loving bond with Austin and his family.”
King lost custody of her sons following her first divorce.
In court documents, Newman alleged, among other things, that she had drank and used drugs while pregnant.
In the engagement announcement, Jaime’s rep noted that her sons are once again involved in her life.
“Her sons remain her top priority, and she kindly asks for privacy as they move forward together with love and gratitude,” the publicist said, adding:
“She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year,”
Neither King nor her team have publicly commented on this week’s divorce filing. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
