Dakota Johnson and MGK fuel romance rumours after LA outing

Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly have sparked fresh speculation about a possible romance after being spotted together in Los Angeles, adding to growing curiosity about their relationship.

The actress and the rapper were seen leaving Say Yes, a 1920s-themed cocktail lounge, on Wednesday, October 14. A video shared by celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi showed MGK walking out of the venue, with Johnson following closely behind.

Although the footage was unclear, it quickly caught fans’ attention. Some social media users debated whether the pair were holding hands as they left the lounge. Neither Johnson nor MGK has publicly confirmed a romantic relationship.

Their latest appearance comes after the two were reportedly seen together in New York in September. They were spotted leaving Taylor Swift’s Tribeca apartment and heading to Estela Restaurant in the same black SUV, prompting further speculation about their growing closeness.

The outing also followed online controversy involving MGK and his former fiancée, Megan Fox. A fabricated post circulated on social media, allegedly showing a message from the rapper alongside photographs of Fox. The supposed message expressed regret over losing a relationship with someone he considered exceptionally beautiful.

MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, dismissed the viral screenshot on Tuesday, October 13, writing on X that the tweet was fake. His response came as the alleged post gained attention online.

Fox and MGK began dating in 2020 after meeting while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass. They became engaged in January 2022 but ended their engagement in late 2024. The former couple welcomed their daughter, Saga Blade, in March 2025 and are co-parenting her.

Johnson, meanwhile, previously dated Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Their relationship ended last year, and she was later linked to musician Role Model in December 2025. Reports of their separation emerged last month.

Recent reports have suggested that Johnson and MGK grew closer after attending Taylor Swift’s wedding in July. People familiar with the situation have described their connection as new and casual, saying they are still getting to know each other without defining the relationship.

Their repeated public appearances have continued to fuel speculation, but neither star has confirmed that they are dating.
