Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly have fueled speculation about a possible romance after being spotted together in Los Angeles.

The Fifty Shades of Grey actress, 37, and the 36-year-old musician were seen leaving a studio before getting into his red Maserati, according to reports.

Their latest outing comes amid claims about Johnson’s love life, with reports suggesting the actress is enjoying a passionate new relationship with the rapper and singer.

Johnson opted for a relaxed but stylish look for the outing, wearing belted blue jeans, black ballet flats and a black leather trench coat.

She also draped a heather-gray sweatshirt over her shoulders.

The Verity star shielded her blue eyes behind dark sunglasses, while her long brunette hair, complete with face-framing bangs, fell loosely around her shoulders.

MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, coordinated his look with an indigo denim jacket and matching jeans.

He completed the outfit with brown work boots and silver-toned jewelry, while his blond hair was slicked back.

The pair have not publicly confirmed that they are dating, but their recent appearances together have sparked growing interest in the nature of their relationship.

Taylor Swift’s New York Apartment Visit Sparked Speculation

Rumors surrounding Johnson and MGK intensified in September when they reportedly visited Taylor Swift’s New York City apartment on the same evening.

According to reports, Johnson arrived at the property alone, with MGK appearing approximately 30 minutes later.

Celebrity gossip outlet DeuxMoi claimed that the musician was escorted by one of Johnson’s security guards.

The pair reportedly spent several hours at the apartment before heading to a nearby hotel, where they allegedly stayed overnight.

TMZ reported that Swift was out of town while the two spent time at her residence.

The reported visit quickly attracted attention, although the circumstances surrounding the evening have not been independently confirmed by the pair.

Johnson and MGK are believed to have first crossed paths at Swift’s reported July wedding to Travis Kelce.

Their alleged connection has drawn additional interest because both have been linked to other partners in recent months.

Johnson reportedly ended her relationship with musician Role Model earlier this year after approximately eight months together.

MGK, meanwhile, was previously involved in a long-term relationship with actress Megan Fox. The former couple share a daughter, Saga, who was born in March 2025.

The musician also has a teenage daughter, Casie, from his previous relationship with Emma Cannon.

Dakota Johnson Opens Up About Musicians and Motherhood

Johnson has previously spoken candidly about her connections with musicians and her hopes for the future.

In a September interview with Vogue, the actress was asked about her experience knowing so many musicians.

“They like me. I don’t know what to say. And I like them,” she said.

When asked what there was not to like about them, Johnson offered a more playful response.

“A lot! A lot. Tricky motherf***ers,” she replied.

Elsewhere in the profile, the actress discussed her desire to become a mother, revealing that having children remains something she genuinely hopes to experience.

“I didn’t expect to be this age and at this place in my life, but for whatever reason, that’s the plan of the universe. So I would love that. I hope that that happens for me,” she said.

Johnson continued by explaining that she had felt a strong connection to the idea of motherhood in recent years.

“I’ve always felt, especially the last few years, that there is a soul that wants to come through. And I hope that I’m lucky enough to be able to do that,” she added.

Her comments offered a glimpse into her personal hopes, although she has not publicly connected those remarks to the current speculation about MGK.

MGK Celebrates Daughter Saga as Megan Fox Co-Parents

MGK’s family life has also remained a subject of public interest following his relationship with Fox.

The musician celebrated Saga’s first birthday on March 27, 2026, and shared a tribute to his daughter with his 9.2 million Instagram followers several days later.

Posting a collection of photographs, he kept the caption simple, writing “1” alongside cupcake and burning-heart emojis.

MGK and Fox have chosen to keep their daughter’s face private, limiting how much they share publicly about her appearance.

The musician has also spoken warmly about Fox’s role as a mother.

During an appearance on the Today show in August 2025, when Saga was around four months old, MGK praised his former fiancée while speaking with host Jenna Bush Hager.

“I want to detract all of the congrats to me and just move it to Megan because she really does all the work,” he said.

He joked that people kept referring to him as “the music teacher,” before describing how others praised him simply for holding his daughter.

“Someone the other day was like, ‘You’re such a good dad!’ just because I was holding the baby,” he recalled.

MGK then joked about Fox’s reaction, adding that she was the one doing the hard work while he played guitar and hoped their baby was happy.

For now, neither Johnson nor MGK has publicly confirmed a relationship. Their recent Los Angeles outing, however, has added another chapter to the speculation surrounding the actress and the musician.
