A source close to the actress says she is taking things slow in the romance department.
When it comes to dating, an insider told People that the Fifth Shades of Grey actress is "playing the field at the moment,” implying avoiding serious commitment to explore multiple options.
Recently, Dakota, 36, was spotted spending quality time with singer-songwriter Role Model.
The two were seen multiple times in December and January, sparking relationship rumours. However, according to the news their connection is just casual.
For the unversed, news broke on June 4 that The Social Network actress and the Coldplay frontman had broken up, ending their nearly eight-year relationship.
