MGK Is the Perfect Gentleman on Dakota Johnson Date Night

Dakota Johnson, Machine Gun Kelly Hit a High Note With L.A. Dinner DateThere’s nothing cliché about Machine Gun Kelly being a true gentleman. The “Bloody Valentine” singer proved he and Dakota Johnson are still enjoying each other’s company as he held her hand while leaving his Los Angeles recording studio shortly before 3 a.m. on Nov. 11. Johnson, 37, looked on in awe as MGK (real name Colson Baker) took her hand to help her down the stairs. The Verity actress kept it cozy, wearing an oversized tiger-striped coat with a fur collar. The “Who I Was” singer, 36, also looked casual in baggy jeans and a white T-shirt, completing his look with a red beanie. Earlier in the night, MGK proved to be the perfect plus one as they began their date at a screening of her short film Flesh Impact—in which she and Ellen Burstyn star respectively as younger and older fictional versions of Marilyn Monroe—before dining at the Sunset Tower Hotel. Johnson then seemed to show her support for his music career as they finished the evening at his studio.The duo first sparked romance rumors in September when they stepped out together in New York City just weeks after it was confirmed Johnson had split from boyfriend Role Model. And while Johnson and MGK—dad to daughters Casie, 17, with ex Emma Cannon and Saga, 19 months, with ex-fiancée Megan Fox—have not publicly commented on their romance, they have not hid it either, fueling the rumors with an outing at Milan Fashion Week in September, followed by several more date nights in Los Angeles. Of course, Johnson has been candid about the fact that she has no interest in confirming any narratives about her love life—which also included her split from Coldplay’s Chris Martin in 2025 after eight years together. PGP / BACKGRID“People are gonna believe what they wanna believe, and I don’t have the energy to fight for that,” the Madame Web actress shared on Vogue’s The Run-Through podcast in September. “I would much rather focus on other things in my life. Every day, there’s something on the internet that’s ridiculous and true or not true, and I don’t care." Still, Johnson hasn’t shied away from poking fun at her love life either, joking about it during her Saturday Night Live monologue in October. “I went through two very public, very breakups with two very awesome musicians,” she told the crowd, adding, “Looking for a third!” And according to the Fifty Shades of Grey alum, she doesn’t specifically focus on dating musicians. “They like me,” she quipped to Vogue in September, “I don’t know what to say.” For a peek into the love lives of more musicians, keep reading.

News in 2021, “I feel like life sort of needs to happen between each record to be able to write something special and new.” “For me in this case, obviously, a lot of it was my relationship with Katie,” he added, “and how that growth has affected me and affected my writing."

So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” But there was no denying the alchemy between this duo. In August 2025, Kelce proposed to the "Enchanted" singer in his backyard and the pair officially tied the knot in July 2026.

And while neither Styles, nor Kravitz confirmed their romance, the High Fidelity alum shared a bit of insight into their high profile romance. “I’m aware it’s happening,” she told British Vogue of the interest in the pair's relationship in June 2026. “I’m aware when it’s happening, like when there are eight people outside my house, that’s super uncomfortable. I’m aware of all the ingredients that create the thing we’re talking about. But that doesn’t mean you’re necessarily OK with it.”Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for The Recording AcademyBeyoncé and Jay-ZThe music legends tied the knot on April 4, 2008 and went on to welcome daughter Blue Ivy on January 7, 2012 and twins Rumi and Sir on June 13, 2017.

You've given me so much in life."Johnny Nunez/Getty Images for The Recording AcademyAdele and Rich PaulThe singer said hello to a new romance when she reconnected with the sports agent in 2021.
