Source claims Dakota Johnson is ‘happy and enjoys spending time’ with MGK amid romance
“She’s happy and enjoys spending time with him,” the insider told People.
The source also claimed there was “a lot of chemistry” between Johnson and MGK. Johnson had reportedly been joining him at the studio while he worked, giving the pair more opportunities to spend time together.
“For now, it makes her happy,” the source added.
The Dakota Johnson MGK romance speculation began gaining attention after photographers spotted them together in New York City on September 12.
However, another insider previously claimed the two had already been spending time together privately for months. According to that source, Johnson and MGK had met before but became closer after attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July wedding in New York City.
Their connection reportedly began as a friendship, with the two texting frequently before they started seeing each other more often.
By October 19, another source described the pair as being in the “dating phase.” The insider claimed they had not officially defined the relationship but continued growing closer.
“They both really like each other and have been seeing each other more frequently,” the source said.
Their shared sense of humor also reportedly helped strengthen the connection, with an insider describing both as having a “dry and dark sense of humor.”
Johnson previously dated musician Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury. A source said their relationship had ended “a while ago” by August.
Before that, Johnson had an on-and-off relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin from 2017 until June 2025.
MGK was previously linked to Megan Fox, with whom he shares daughter Saga Blade.
For now, neither Johnson nor MGK has publicly confirmed the relationship, while the supplied sources describe the pair as increasingly close.
