Dakota Johnson and Colson Baker, better known as Machine Gun Kelly, sparked dating rumors after paparazzi spotted them together in New York City. The pair's appearance soon became a subject of discussion in the media because some reports claimed that they had spent time at Taylor Swift's private apartment in Manhattan.
Initially, it was unclear whether the outing was romantic or a simple friendly get-together. However, new insider details have fueled the speculation that Dakota and MGK share more than friendship. According to sources cited by PEOPLE, the actress and the singer have been "hanging out and seeing each other under the radar" for months now. In fact, they started off as friends before they got close through regular conversations and private meetups. In the insider's words:
"[They] started off as friends and were texting often, but now they're spending more time together. It's a very new start, but they're smitten with each other right now."
Sources claim that the turning point in their relationship came when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married in July 2026. The duo reportedly spent a significant amount of time together at the event. Although Dakota and MGK have met before, insiders alleged that the event enabled them to connect on a deeper level.

One source described the duo as "smitten" with each other, and MGK has spoken highly about Dakota to his friends. He is allegedly impressed by her and prefers to spend time with her. But despite the growing connection, they allegedly want to keep the bond under wraps. Sources claim that neither Dakota nor MGK is rushing into anything serious.

Another insider described the situation as "super casual," hinting that the pair wants to allow things to develop naturally without placing any expectations.
