Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly were spotted gazing dreamily into each other’s eyes on Tuesday while out for a romantic dinner date in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old Materialists star and her Bloody Valentine beau, 36, took their burgeoning love affair public at Casaléna, the ultra-trendy Mediterranean restaurant located on busy Ventura Boulevard.
The hot new couple was all smiles as they were snapped sharing some laughs under a green umbrella at the eatery’s sidewalk curb stand
Both were bundled up to beat the West Coast chill, with Johnson sporting a faux fur-collared leather hip-length jacket, distressed jeans, flats and a leopard print Prada bag.Â
MGK, born Colson Baker, looked extra cozy in drawstring sweats, a sock cap and a hoodie. He kept his hands warmly tucked in the pockets of his black leather jacket, emblazoned with the logo from Young Thug’s Sp5der Worldwide streetwear brand.
Their dinner date marked the latest in a string of sightings after the Daily Mail revealed that Johnson is having ‘the best sex of her life’ with the pop-punk rapper and baby daddy ex of actress Megan Fox, 40.

The daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith only had eyes for MGK as they waited for their car outside Casaléna, a mediterranean restaurant located on busy Ventura Boulevard
The daughter of Miami Vice vet Don Johnson, 76, and Working Girl Melanie Griffith, 69, first cranked the romance rumor mill when she and The Dirt actor were snapped sneaking into gal pal Taylor Swift‘s apartment in New York City in September.
The Verity actress was seen sprinting into the 36-year-old singer-songwriter’s Tribeca residence solo, with MGK showing up 30 minutes later.
According to gossip site DeuxMoi, the hard-to-miss, 6-foot-4-inch blonde was escorted in by Johnson’s security guard.
Swift was out of town while her friends spent some alone time at her apartment, TMZÂ reported at the time.
After spending several hours hanging inside Swift’s residence, they relocated to a nearby hotel and stayed overnight, according to the outlet.
‘Taylor has let friends use her NYC properties before, and Dakota and Colson wanted privacy, so they headed to her apartment,’ a source told Page Six.Â
The Daily Mail has reached out to Johnson and MGK’s reps for comment about their growing love connection.Â
The Hollywood nepo baby and the Houston-born musician are said to have first caught each other’s eye in July as invited guests at Swift and Travis Kelce’s lavish Madison Square Garden wedding.Â
AÂ month earlier, Johnson had reportedly split from singer Role Model, real name Tucker Pillsbury.Â
In late July, Pillsbury started performing an unreleased track, ‘Love I You,’ featuring a flirty spoken word cameo by Johnson. But by August, they pair quietly split after a lowkey eight-month relationship.
Meanwhile, MGK was previously in a five-year, on-off relationship with ex-girlfriend Fox, and they share a 19-month-old daughter, the aptly named Saga.

Johnson has addressed her apparent penchant for musicians, ‘They like me. I don’t know what to say. And I like them,’ she coyly admitted in a September interview

The Fix Ur Face singer is also dad to 17-year-old daughter Casie, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon.
Johnson famously dated Coldplay’s Chris Martin, 49, for nearly eight years before quietly breaking their engagement in June 2025.
The Madame Web actress has previously addressed her apparent penchant for musicians in the September issue of Vogue.
‘They like me. I don’t know what to say. And I like them,’ she coyly admitted.
Asked what’s not to like about them, she quipped: ‘A lot! A lot. Tricky motherf—ers.’
However, her doubts about the music men in her life haven’t stopped her from wanting to put down family roots: Johnson wants to become a mother.
‘I really do. I didn’t expect to be this age and at this place in my life, but for whatever reason, that’s the plan of the universe,’ she told the outlet.Â
‘So I would love that. I hope that that happens for me,’ she continued.
‘I’ve always felt, especially the last few years, that there is a soul that wants to come through. And I hope that I’m lucky enough to be able to do that.’
For now, however, a ‘smitten’ Johnson appears to be focusing on strengthening her growing bond with MGK, with whom she shares a ‘dry and dark sense of humor.’
‘There’s a lot of chemistry and she’s been going to the studio with him while he works,’ a source close to the actress told People in October. ‘For now, it makes her happy.’
