Machine Gun Kelly has recently been linked to Dakota Johnson, with the pair photographed together on several outings in autumn 2026. Their latest Los Angeles appearance on November 11 added to reports of a developing romance. Neither has publicly defined the relationship, so Johnson is best described as his reported romantic interest rather than a formally confirmed girlfriend.
Who Is Machine Gun Kelly Dating?
The name most closely connected to MGK in recent relationship coverage is actress Dakota Johnson. Photographs and entertainment reporting have documented them spending time together in New York and Los Angeles.
People familiar with the pair have told entertainment publications that their connection has developed beyond friendship. Those accounts are still source-based reporting rather than a joint announcement from the two stars.
That distinction is particularly useful when answering the girlfriend question. There is evidence of repeated outings and reporting that they are dating, but no verified statement in which they announce a formal label, an engagement or plans to marry.
The November 11 Los Angeles Outing
MGK and Johnson were photographed together in Los Angeles on November 11, 2026. PEOPLE’s reporting described an affectionate evening at the Tower Bar & Restaurant in the Sunset Tower Hotel.
The coverage included a photograph of MGK helping Johnson down steps while holding her hand. The sighting became the latest addition to several weeks of interest in their relationship.
Other coverage connected the evening with an event for Johnson’s short film Flesh Impact. The relevant relationship development is that they were again seen spending time together publicly, rather than any claim that the outing marked a wedding, engagement or official relationship announcement.
How the Dating Reports Developed
Public speculation gathered momentum in September 2026, when the two were photographed together in New York. Subsequent reporting said that they had already been spending time together privately.
By October, entertainment outlets were describing a connection that was continuing through additional dates. Reports attributed to people close to them emphasized that they enjoyed each other’s company but were not rushing to define the relationship.
Their shared humor and time together in music-related settings were recurring details in those reports. These descriptions explain why the story has moved beyond a single photograph, while still leaving room for the couple to keep the precise nature of their relationship private.
Other Recent Public Appearances
The pair were photographed after a November 3 dinner in Calabasas. Days later, they were also seen during a West Hollywood evening connected with a Khaite dinner.
Fashion coverage focused on Johnson’s clothes, jewelry and styling, while entertainment coverage treated the appearances as further signs of a developing romance. These are different ways of reporting the same public attention.
Repeated outings provide a clearer timeline than an isolated sighting, but they still do not establish an exclusive commitment or future plans. Descriptions such as “reported romance” accurately reflect what has been observed and reported without turning every date into a new formal milestone.
Is Megan Fox Still His Girlfriend?
Megan Fox is MGK’s former fiancée. They met while working on Midnight in the Switchgrass, became romantically involved in 2020 and announced their engagement in January 2022.
Their relationship later ended, with the split reported in late 2024. In 2026, coverage of their connection has centered on parenting rather than a confirmed romantic reunion.
This is an important correction to older search results. Engagement photographs, earlier interviews and affectionate posts from their years together do not establish that Fox is his current girlfriend. Those materials describe a previous relationship that remains part of his personal history.
MGK and Megan Fox’s Daughter
MGK and Fox welcomed their daughter, Saga Blade, in March 2025. Their continuing connection as parents is separate from whether they are romantically involved.
Recent reporting has described them communicating about their daughter and parenting arrangements. Public comments or appearances involving the child therefore should not automatically be interpreted as evidence that they have resumed their engagement.
MGK also has an older daughter, Casie. His role as a father remains part of his public life alongside his music, but it does not answer the separate question of whom he is dating now.
The Fabricated Megan Fox Post
In October 2026, MGK responded to a circulating post that falsely presented him as expressing regret about losing Fox. He rejected the supposed message as fabricated.
The incident is relevant because social media screenshots can appear convincing even when they do not originate from the person named. His response corrected the attribution; it was not an announcement of a reconciliation.
Separating that false post from genuine public statements helps keep the current story clear. The documented update was a denial that he had written the message, while his newer outings with Johnson continued to generate attention.
His Relationship Status in November 2026
Dakota Johnson is the woman currently linked to MGK in credible recent dating coverage. Their November appearances extend a timeline of reported dates that became public in September.
The available evidence supports describing a developing, reported romance. It does not support inventing a wedding date or saying the pair have publicly declared themselves an official couple. Megan Fox, meanwhile, belongs to the separate story of his former engagement and their ongoing parenting relationship.
