Dakota Johnson and MGK Dating Rumors | NYC Night, Taylor Swift Apartment, Role Model Split & Bio

Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly may be more than friends. After the two were recently spotted together in New York City, a source told PEOPLE they have quietly been spending time together for months, and their connection has gradually become more romantic. They reportedly hit it off at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July wedding, although neither Johnson nor MGK has publicly confirmed or labeled the relationship.

The reported connection comes as both stars enter a new phase in their personal lives. Johnson recently ended her relationship with musician Role Model, while MGK’s romantic relationship with Megan Fox has ended, and he is now focused on co-parenting their daughter. Here is what the latest reporting reveals about Johnson and MGK, and what remains unconfirmed.

Dakota Johnson and singer and role model Tucker Pillsbury, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, were reported in August 2026 to have ended their relationship “a while ago” after less than a year together.

How Dakota Johnson and MGK Reportedly Became Close

According to PEOPLE’s latest reporting, Johnson and MGK had met before but became closer after attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding in July 2026. A source said they began texting and spending more time together, and their friendship gradually took on a more romantic direction. Their relationship reportedly remains casual and has no official label, and neither star's representatives have commented.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are no longer romantically involved, according to PEOPLE, and their relationship is now focused on co-parenting their daughter, Saga Blade. Although the former couple continues to share parenting responsibilities, current reporting does not indicate that they have reconciled. That makes MGK’s new dating rumors especially notable, but there is currently no indication that his relationship with Fox has become romantic again.

MGK has continued to speak positively about Fox as a mother, while reports throughout 2026 have described the pair as co-parents rather than a couple. Their daughter Saga remains their main connection, even as MGK’s personal life begins to attract new attention after his NYC outing with Johnson.

The speculation intensified after Johnson and MGK were spotted together in New York on September 12 and reportedly entered the building where Taylor Swift owns a Tribeca apartment. The outing is now understood to be part of a connection that sources say has been developing for months. Neither star has publicly confirmed the relationship, however, and PEOPLE reports that they have not officially labeled it.

Are Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly Still Together? Inside Their Split and Co-Parenting

No, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are not currently a couple. Their romantic relationship ended after years of ups and downs, and the two have since focused on co-parenting their daughter, Saga. Although they have continued to spend time together as parents, reports in 2026 have consistently described their connection as co-parenting rather than reconciliation.

The couple's relationship fractured in late 2024, shortly after they announced they were expecting a child. Reports at the time described a major conflict during a trip to Colorado, and Fox and MGK ultimately ended their engagement before Saga was born. They welcomed their daughter on March 27, 2025, and have since worked out a co-parenting arrangement.

What Is Next for Machine Gun Kelly?

Away from the relationship reports, MGK remains focused on music and fatherhood. His romantic relationship with Megan Fox is over, while his connection with Dakota Johnson is reportedly developing but has not been officially labeled.

During his September 2026 Rock in Rio performance, MGK announced that he planned another album for 2027. No official title or release date has been revealed.
