Dakota Johnson and MGK’s romance heats up with cozy day-to-night outings in LA
Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly’s new romance appears to be heating up.
The pair stuck close by each other on Friday, when they were photographed leaving a music studio in Los Angeles together in the morning.
Both kept things casual for the daytime outing, with Johnson, 37, sporting a pair of jeans, a long black leather coat and black flats, while a gray sweater was draped over her shoulders.
Meanwhile, MGK, 36, opted for a denim-on-denim look, pairing a matching jacket and trousers with a white tank top and brown boots.
The rapper (born Colson Baker) was also seen helping Johnson into his car as the two went about their day.
Later that night, Johnson and MGK were spotted leaving the Chateau Marmont around 11:30 p.m., with the couple photographed sitting side by side in the back of a car.
They appeared to be wearing the same outfits from earlier in the day, although MGK had ditched his denim jacket, showing off his heavily tattooed arms as he flashed a wide smile.
Johnson and MGK first sparked dating rumors last month, when they were spotted exiting a black SUV together in New York City before heading to Taylor Swift’s Tribeca apartment, where the singer was reportedly not home.
“Taylor has let friends use her NYC properties before, and Dakota and Colson wanted privacy, so they headed to her apartment,” a source exclusively told Page Six.
The source added that “there was definitely chemistry” between the two, telling Page Six, “Colson had a really nice time with Dakota. He thinks she’s really cool, and obviously, he’s attracted to her.”
“It’s new and they’re just getting to know each other, but there was definitely something there, and he would like to see her again.”
That chemistry seemingly continued to build last week, when MGK appeared to spend the night at Johnson’s house after wrapping up a studio session in Los Angeles.
Page Six exclusively obtained photos and videos of the pair meeting in the studio’s parking lot before climbing into his Maserati together.
Photos also showed the rapper’s car still parked outside Johnson’s house the following morning, suggesting he had stayed overnight.
Their budding romance comes a little over two months after news broke that Johnson had split from singer Role Model. Meanwhile, MGK called it quits with Megan Fox in 2024.
Fox, for her part, is reportedly “completely unbothered” by her ex spending time with Johnson, with a source telling TMZ, “Megan’s put their former romance firmly in the rearview and has bigger things on her plate. … She’s got no interest in getting involved in his love life.”
The actress has allegedly “completely cut MGK off,” with the former fiancés only communicating when necessary to co-parent their 1-year-old daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker.
A source further told Page Six on Friday, “Megan isn’t just unbothered by MGK dating Dakota — she’s actually relieved he’s moving on,” adding that she “doesn’t want him back.”
