LOS ANGELES, Jan 14 — Adding fuel to the fire of speculation that they are dating, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin were photographed having dinner in Malibu on Friday.

An eyewitness told Daily Mail, which obtained exclusive pictures of the pair, that they arrived at Soho House together in Martin’s car and left together in the same vehicle about two hours later.

The pair was last photographed separately making their way through Paris" Charles de Gaulle Airport on December 19.

Paparazzi then caught the duo in a blurry embrace in Herzliya, Israel a few days later.

Johnson dated Matthew Hit from 2014 to 2016.

Martin was married to Gwyneth Paltrow before famously "consciously uncoupling” in 2014 after 10 years of marriage. They share 11-year-old son Moses.
