CONFIRMED (event): On Sept. 22, 2026, Machine Gun Kelly — Colson Baker — walked the Vogue World: Milano runway inside Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Dakota Johnson was photographed in the front row at the same show, according to coverage from E! News (opens in new tab), Us Weekly (opens in new tab), and Page Six (opens in new tab).

CONFIRMED (prior sighting, as reported): Entertainment outlets previously reported Johnson and MGK were photographed together in New York around Sept. 11, including accounts that they visited a Tribeca apartment associated with Taylor Swift before dinner. Those are sighting reports from celebrity press — not a joint relationship statement.

UNCONFIRMED (relationship): Neither Johnson nor MGK has publicly confirmed they are dating. Page Six (opens in new tab) reported that when Vogue asked Johnson about her current relationship status for an October cover story, she said she did not want to say anything about that. She has separately talked about liking musicians in general — that is not an on-record confirmation about MGK.

RUMOR vs FACT: Front-row support and NYC outing photos fueled the dating mill. A seat at a fashion show is not a soft launch until someone puts a relationship on the record. The Event Record stamps the romance claim as rumor.
