Other Twitter customers had been less desirous about speculating about who Dakota could have dated and more excited about Dakota's imaginable bisexuality in and of itself. "Dakota Johnson bi??? the community is truly winning this week," a person said. 

In her career, Dakota is happy.

Although the question of Dakota's sexuality is now not utterly resolved, her interview with Vogue made it clear that her occupation is in any case shaping up the approach she at all times wanted it to. “I in any case really feel that I’m in the right place at the proper time in my lifestyles, collaborating with artists who elevate me,” she said. 

“A couple of years in the past, I used to be preventing, waiting for any individual to present me a chance," the actress continued. "I’m a gorgeous delicate individual, and after I don’t feel protected, I have a tendency to near proper up. But once I really feel protected, I feel I can do the rest.”
