Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly Enjoy Low-Key Sidewalk Date

Dakota Johnson was spotted enjoying a relaxed outing with her new romantic interest, Machine Gun Kelly, following reports that she has described their intimate relationship as the best sex of her life.

The 37-year-old actress and Kelly, 36 — the former partner of Megan Fox and whose real name is Colson Baker — sat side by side on a West Hollywood sidewalk as they drank caffeinated beverages.

The Madame Web star kept her look effortlessly fashionable in a white Bode long-sleeve T-shirt decorated with Queen of Hearts artwork. She paired it with black trousers and flat leather shoes.

The Vampire Diaries hitmaker wore a light-brown suede jacket over a ribbed tank top, completing the outfit with blue jeans and black leather boots.

Their posture appeared to offer a glimpse into their dynamic: Johnson faced Kelly directly, while the rapper sat looking ahead with his legs spread apart.

The casual date came soon after the Daily Mail reported that Johnson had been telling friends she was enjoying “the best sex of her life” with her new beau, MGK.

Dakota Johnson was seen on a low-key date with Machine Gun Kelly after reports emerged about their passionate new romance.

The 37-year-old actress and 36-year-old musician Colson Baker, formerly linked to Megan Fox, relaxed together on a West Hollywood sidewalk with drinks in hand.

Johnson has reportedly spoken enthusiastically to close friends about her relationship with the Bad Things artist.

Sources also claimed that the Fifty Shades of Grey actress has already brought Kelly into her well-known family circle.

Johnson is the daughter of Miami Vice actor Don Johnson and acclaimed actress Melanie Griffith.

Although their romance may have surprised fans, the pair appear to be spending considerable time together, having been photographed on several outings over recent weeks.

Dating speculation intensified in September when both stars visited the New York City apartment of their friend Taylor Swift.

Johnson arrived at the property alone, while MGK reportedly turned up around half an hour later.

Gossip outlet DeuxMoi claimed that Johnson’s security guard escorted the musician into the building.

The report said the two spent several hours at Swift’s apartment before heading to a nearby hotel, where they allegedly stayed overnight.

TMZ reported that Swift was away from New York when the pair visited her apartment.

Johnson and the chart-topping musician are believed to have met for the first time at Swift’s July wedding to Travis Kelce.

The reported romance followed Johnson’s split from musician Role Model, whom she was said to have dated for eight months before ending the relationship one month earlier.

MGK was previously in a yearslong relationship with ex-girlfriend Megan Fox and they share 19-month-old daughter Saga. 

He is also dad to 17-year-old daughter Casie, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon. 

In a September interview with Vogue, Johnson opened up about knowing a lot of musicians.

‘They like me. I don’t know what to say. And I like them,’ the star said coyly.

Asked what’s not to like about them, she answered: ‘A lot! A lot. Tricky motherf***ers.’

Elsewhere in the profile, Johnson revealed that she ‘really’ wants to have children.

‘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 divulged.

The entertainer continued, ‘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.’ 

MGK’s daughter Saga turned one on March 27, and on April 1 he used Instagram to pay tribute to the little girl.

The doting father shared a slew of photos with his 9.2 million followers and simply wrote, ‘1,’ in the caption, along with cupcake and burning heart emojis.

He and ex-fiancé Fox have opted to keep their daughter’s face private.

In August 2025 the rock star heaped praise on the Jennifer’s Body actress for caring for Saga.

While appearing on the Today show when she was four months old, he told 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 joked, ‘I keep getting called ‘the music teacher,” before sharing, ‘Someone the other day was like, ‘You’re such a good dad!’ just because I was holding the baby.

‘And [Megan] was fuming, like, ‘No, no, no, no.’ She’s the one. I just play the guitar and pray that the baby is happy.’
