Johnson and Martin rekindled their romance multiple times since they started dating in 2017, even allegedly getting engaged at one point.
In 2021, Johnson touched upon her "private" romance.
"We've been together for quite a while, and we go out sometimes, but we both work so much that it's nice to be at home and be cozy and private," the starlet shared with Elle. "Most of the partying takes place inside my house."
Additionally, another source gave more insight into their romance.
"Their relationship works because they are both very independent and actually have lives outside of their relationship too," an insider previously dished of their dynamic. "It's like every time they are not spotted together for a while, there are breakup rumors."
The source added, "They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can."
However, they officially called it quits in June.
Role Model ended his relationship with Emma Chamberlain in 2023.
As for Role Model, his breakup with Chamberlain followed a three-year relationship, which he openly referenced as the inspiration for his album Kansas Anymore.
Role Model previously described their relationship as “unproblematic, safe, (and) private,” noting that they were “never going to be posting photos and selfies of us on a beach in Cabo."
For her part, the internet personality said, "There's parts of our relationship that are going to be private forever, and those things we keep sacred. But I don't think we need to be secret anymore. It's just like, I'm over that s---."
