Los Angeles/IBNS: Hollywood star Dakota Johnson’s mother Melanie Griffith has reacted to her daughter’s relationship with American musician Role Model after the couple’s PDA moments went viral.

What did Johnson’s mother say?

Griffith, herself a celebrated actor, kept her response brief but positive while speaking about her daughter’s new relationship.

When asked for her reaction, Griffith described it in just one word — “fabulous” — expressing her approval without elaborating further.

Johnson's PDA moment with Role Model

In a viral video, the duo were spotted embracing each other and sharing a kiss in a parking lot, leaving little doubt about their relationship status.

According to a report by TMZ, the couple were seen at a Los Feliz parking lot sharing intimate moments. Role Model—whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury—was seen holding Johnson close and kissing her before the two parted with smiles.

They were also seen holding hands while heading to a nearby eatery with friends.

When did the romance begin?

Rumours of their relationship first surfaced in November last year when Johnson was spotted dining with Role Model and friends at a restaurant.

In a viral photo, Johnson was seen sipping a drink while her partner listened to others across the table. 

Reports suggest the two began dating after Johnson ended her eight-year relationship with Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin.

She will next be seen in Verity, where she also serves as an executive producer. The actor is also set to make her directorial debut with A Tree Is Blue, an unconventional drama centred on the life of an autistic woman.
