Dakota Johnson and MGK’s romance heats up with LA outings

Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly’s new romance appears to be heating up.

The two grew closer on Friday, when they were photographed leaving a music studio together in Los Angeles in the morning.

Both kept things casual for the daytime outing, with Johnson, 37, sporting 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 pants with a white tank top and brown boots.

The rapper (born Colson Baker) was also seen helping Johnson into his car while 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 pair pictured sitting side by side in the back of a car.

They appeared to be wearing the same outfits as earlier in the day, although MGK ditched his denim jacket, showing off his heavily tattooed arms while flashing a wide smile.

Johnson and MGK first sparked dating rumors last month, when they were spotted exiting a black SUV together in New York before heading to Taylor Swift’s apartment in Tribeca, where the singer was reportedly not at home.

“Taylor has already let friends use her properties in New York, 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 good 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’d 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 finishing a studio session in Los Angeles.

Page Six exclusively obtained photos and videos of the couple meeting in the studio parking lot before getting into his Maserati together.

Photos also showed the rapper’s car still parked outside Johnson’s house the next morning, suggesting he had spent the night.

Their budding romance comes just over two months after news broke that Johnson had split from singer Role Model. Meanwhile, MGK ended his relationship with Megan Fox in 2024.

Fox, for her part, is said to be “completely unconcerned” about her ex spending time with Johnson, with a source telling TMZ, “Megan has put their former romance firmly aside and has bigger things to do. … She has no interest in getting involved in his love life.”

The actress reportedly “completely cut MGK off,” with the formerly engaged 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 indifferent to MGK dating Dakota — she’s actually relieved that he’s moving on,” adding that she “doesn’t want him to come back.”
