Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly have fuelled fresh romance rumours after spending another day together in Los Angeles, just a week after the musician appeared to spend the night at the actress's home.

The Fifty Shades of Grey star, 37, and the rapper, 36, were reportedly spotted together twice on Friday, October 23, suggesting their rumoured relationship is continuing to blossom.

According to Page Six, which published photographs of the pair, they were seen leaving a recording studio together in the morning before being spotted departing the celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont at approximately 11.30pm that evening.

The latest sightings come just days after MGK appeared to spend the night at Dakota's Los Angeles home.

The musician, whose real name is Colson Baker, was photographed leaving a recording studio with Dakota on October 15 before the pair drove away together in his Maserati.

His car was reportedly still parked outside her home the following morning, prompting speculation that he had stayed overnight.

Their rumoured romance first made headlines in September when they were spotted visiting Taylor Swift's apartment in New York City.

The pair, who reportedly hit it off at Taylor's wedding to Travis Kelce in July, have since been seen together on several occasions, including an intimate outing at a Hollywood speakeasy earlier this month.

The developing relationship comes after Dakota's high-profile split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, whom she dated on and off for nearly eight years before their separation in June 2025.

She was subsequently linked to singer-songwriter Role Model, although their reported romance ended earlier this year.

Dakota recently joked about her history of dating musicians during an interview with Vogue.

"They like me. I don't know what to say," she quipped, before adding: "And I like them."

Neither Dakota nor MGK has publicly confirmed the status of their relationship.

MGK, meanwhile, was previously engaged to actress Megan Fox, 40, with whom he shares a daughter, Saga Blade, born in March 2025. The former couple ended their relationship in late 2024.

For now, Dakota and MGK appear content to keep their budding romance relatively private, despite their increasingly frequent appearances together.
