Just two creative collaborators wrapping up a productive studio session and enjoying a low-key, private night in Los Angeles.
Insiders say the chemistry is 'definitely' there and that MGK is 'really into' Johnson, noting their vibe wasn't forced or awkward.
MGK’s car was still parked at Johnson’s house on Friday morning. Johnson met him at the studio in an oversized leopard-print coat, while MGK dumped a denim Hermès Birkin into his Maserati trunk to make space for her.
This isn't just a studio hangout; it's a confirmed sleepover with receipts, a luxury bag incident, and a car left behind. The romance is heating up fast.
The rumors are no longer rumors; they are receipts, and they are exclusive. Page Six has obtained video and photos proving that Machine Gun Kelly spent the night at Dakota Johnson’s Los Angeles home following a Thursday evening studio session. This isn't just a casual drop-off; the visual evidence shows Johnson waiting for the rapper, now identified as Colson Baker, outside his recording studio.
Dressed in an oversized leopard-print coat and black pants, she was spotted fiddling with her phone and holding a laptop, looking every bit the cool-girl accomplice. When MGK emerged, the dynamic was clear: this was a planned rendezvous, not a chance encounter. The most telling detail of the night wasn't the kiss or the cuddle—it was the logistics.
Video footage shows MGK clearing the passenger seat of his Maserati to make room for Johnson. He was seen dumping a giant denim Hermès Birkin bag into the trunk to create space for the actress. It’s a small action, but in the world of celebrity dating, making room for someone—literally and figuratively—is a massive signal.
Johnson was seen smiling as he handled the bag, climbing into the car with an ease that suggests this is becoming their routine. The pair were then seen checking their phones together before driving off into the LA night, leaving the public guessing until the sun came up. And the sun did come up, with MGK’s Maserati still parked at Johnson’s residence on Friday morning.
That is the smoking gun. You don't leave your luxury vehicle at a friend's house after a 'quick' studio wrap. This sighting follows a pattern of escalating intimacy that began in early September when the pair sparked romance rumors after being spotted together in New York City.
They were even seen escaping to Taylor Swift’s Tribeca apartment for privacy before heading to dinner at Estela. A source told Page Six at the time that there was 'definitely chemistry' between the two, noting that they 'hit it off' and that MGK was 'really into' Johnson. The timeline of this whirlwind romance is dizzying.
Johnson, 37, and MGK, 36, first met at Taylor Swift’s wedding in July. Just months later, they are sharing beds and cars. This new pairing follows Johnson’s split from longtime partner Chris Martin in July 2025 and MGK’s breakup with fiancée Megan Fox in late 2024.
Fox gave birth to their daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, in March 2025. With Johnson recently seen at Vogue World 2026: Milano where MGK performed, the overlap between their worlds is undeniable. Insiders claim MGK appreciates that Johnson is 'funny and doesn't take herself too seriously,' describing their vibe as natural and fun. Whether this is a rebound for two heartbroken stars or the start of something serious, the receipts are piling up faster than the bags in that Maserati trunk.
