Speculation regarding a potential romance between actress Dakota Johnson and musician Machine Gun Kelly (Colson Baker) has intensified following sightings of the pair in New York City. On September 11, the two were reportedly seen at Taylor Swift’s Tribeca apartment while Swift was away in Kansas City. Reports indicate that while the individuals arrived at the residence separately, they spent several hours at the location before departing together for dinner in Estela and later staying at a nearby hotel. Although the nature of their relationship has not been officially confirmed as romantic or platonic, observers noted they appeared to share chemistry. Insiders suggest that Baker is “really into” Johnson and appreciates her sense of humor. The rumors follow recent high-profile relationship changes for both parties, including Johnson’s separation from Tucker Pillsbury (also known as Role Model) and Kelly’s previous relationship with Megan Fox. The two stars reportedly first met in July at the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and have been spending time together for months. Newer reports suggest the pair initially established a friendship through frequent texting after reconnecting at the July wedding held at Madison Square Garden. While insiders describe the pair as being ‘smitten’ and ‘very into’ one another, they have not yet officially labeled the relationship, which is currently described as ‘super casual’ and ‘under the radar’. In a recent interview with Vogue, Johnson addressed her personal life and expressed a strong desire to become a mother, noting a “deep calling” to shift her focus toward a more authentic personal life. She also jokingly referred to her history of dating musicians as “tricky motherf–kers.” Recent reports suggest potential friction regarding long-term compatibility. On September 22, 2026, the pair appeared together at the Vogue World 2026 event in Milan, Italy.
