Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly are suddenly at the center of dating rumors after turning up together in New York City—and their choice of destination isn't exactly helping quiet the chatter.
Johnson and MGK were spotted arriving at Taylor Swift's Tribeca apartment, according to TMZ. The two were photographed getting out of a black SUV and heading inside the building while Swift was reportedly out of town. Johnson wore an all-black look for the outing, while MGK showed up in a jacket with a large skeleton across the back.
Neither Johnson nor MGK has said they're dating, and neither has commented after the sighting. TMZ reports the pair met at Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding earlier this year.
Johnson is also newly single. The Materialists star recently split from singer Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, after the two were linked beginning in late 2025. Their relationship became increasingly visible earlier this year, including dinner dates and public displays of affection, before reports surfaced in August that they had quietly called it quits.
Before Pillsbury, Johnson spent nearly eight years with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The pair began dating in 2017 and remained together until 2025.
MGK arrives at this latest round of dating speculation with considerably more public relationship history of his own.
The musician, born Colson Baker, was famously involved with Megan Fox after they met while working on Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020. They announced their engagement in 2022, went through a series of highly publicized ups and downs before splitting while Fox was pregnant. They welcomed their daughter, Saga, in March 2025.
Even after the breakup, however, MGK hasn't exactly stopped having fun with Fox publicly.
When Fox returned to Instagram in March after an extended absence, she announced her comeback by writing, “I'm alive, new pics just dropped.” MGK promptly appeared beneath her new photo shoot with a response of his own: “stoked i have your phone number.”
Behind the jokes, the former couple's relationship had reportedly moved firmly into co-parenting territory. A source told People earlier this year that Fox and MGK “haven’t been together in a real way for a long time now and whatever they had romantically is done.”
“Their relationship at this point is just about co-parenting,” the source continued.
