CelebrityMGK's Car at Dakota Johnson's House Fuels Dating Buzz
Machine Gun Kelly and Dakota Johnson were spotted leaving a Los Angeles recording studio together, and the night did not end there. Photos of the rapper's car parked outside Johnson's home the next morning have turned weeks of dating chatter into a much bigger conversation. Neither star has confirmed a relationship.
The pair were photographed on Thursday night, October 15, 2026. Johnson waited outside while MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, finished a recording session. She wore an oversized leopard-print coat and held what appeared to be a laptop. When he came out, he moved a large denim Hermès Birkin bag from the front seat to the trunk. She then got into his car, and the two drove off together.
The next morning, his car was still parked at Johnson's home. Coverage describes the outing as a sleepover, based on photos taken Friday morning. Accounts differ on the vehicle itself. Some outlets call it a Maserati, while another describes a red sports car. A celebrity gossip account also reported that the two went back to Johnson's home after the session.
The studio visit was not the first sighting. The pair were reportedly seen at Hollywood speakeasy Say Yes earlier that same week. That extended a run of outings that began drawing attention in September, when the romance speculation really started to take shape.
One report traced their New York outing to September 11, when they visited Taylor Swift's Tribeca apartment before going to dinner at Estela. An unnamed source described the visit as a date and said Swift had offered the space because the two wanted privacy. That same source said there was definitely chemistry between them.
