Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly reportedly dating secretly
Dakota Johnson and MGK spark new rumours
Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly have given Hollywood another major romance story to talk about after being spotted together in New York City.
The two were recently seen entering Taylor Swift’s Tribeca apartment before heading out for dinner.
Their meeting quickly sparked dating rumours, although neither star has publicly confirmed that they are in a relationship.
According to a source, the pair have been “hanging out and seeing each other under the radar for months now.”
The source said they had met before but became closer after attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding in July.
A connection that started at the wedding
The insider claimed that Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly initially “started off as friends and were texting often” before gradually spending more time together.
“It’s a very new start, but they’re smitten with each other right now,” the source said.
Another source described their relationship as “super casual,” suggesting that the pair have not yet decided what their connection means.
The People source also claimed MGK is “very into” Johnson and has reportedly been telling friends that she is “amazing.”
Why Taylor Swift’s apartment made headlines
Johnson and MGK’s New York outing attracted even more attention because they reportedly spent some private time at Swift’s Tribeca apartment.
Reports said Swift was not in New York at the time. The apartment was reportedly used because the two wanted more privacy.
After leaving the apartment, Johnson and MGK were seen heading out for dinner. Their outing quickly spread across social media and added fuel to the romance rumours.
The Taylor Swift connection has therefore become one of the most unexpected parts of the developing story.

Both stars have famous relationship histories
The reported new romance comes after changes in both stars’ personal lives.
Johnson was previously linked to singer Role Model. Reports about their split emerged in August, although the exact timing of the breakup has not been publicly confirmed.
Before that, Johnson had a long relationship with Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, was previously involved in a long and on-and-off relationship with Megan Fox.
The former couple share a daughter, Saga Blade, who was born in 2025.
No official relationship label yet
Despite the growing attention, Johnson and MGK have not publicly confirmed a relationship.
The People source said, “They haven’t put a label on their relationship yet, they are just seeing where spending time together will take them.”
That leaves the Hollywood story open-ended for now.
For the moment, the pair appear to be spending time together while keeping things relatively private.
