Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly are reportedly getting to know each other romantically after several discreet dates in Los Angeles, although neither is ready to make their relationship official.
Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly could be one of Hollywood’s most unexpected new couples. The 37-year-old actress and the 36-year-old musician, whose real name is Colson Baker, are reportedly in the early stages of a romance that they would prefer to keep away from the public eye for now.
According to a source who spoke to US magazine People, the pair first connected at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, where they discovered they shared a special chemistry. Since then, they have reportedly been spending more time together, fuelling speculation about a possible relationship.
One of the things believed to have brought them closer is their distinctive sense of humour. The source claims that Dakota Johnson and MGK share the same dry, dark sense of humour, allowing them to connect naturally and enjoy each other’s company.
Although neither has publicly confirmed the relationship, reports suggest that they have already enjoyed several private dates without any photographs of their outings emerging.
“They have been on dates that nobody knows about because there are no photographs,” the source explained, adding that the pair are still in the early stages of dating and are not yet ready to make things official.
Discretion appears to be a defining feature of their blossoming romance. Rather than making high-profile public appearances, the two are reportedly taking their time getting to know each other without putting any labels on their relationship.
“They really like each other and have been seeing each other more frequently. They haven’t defined their relationship yet, but they’re growing closer every time they spend time together,” the same source added.
However, their meetings have not gone entirely unnoticed. Last week, Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly were spotted together at a cocktail bar in Los Angeles, during an outing that further fuelled speculation about their romantic connection.
The news comes at a particularly busy time for the actress, who recently celebrated her 37th birthday in New York surrounded by friends and continues to work on new film projects, including Verity.
