Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson Dine Out Amid Johnson's Reported Romance with Machine Gun Kelly

Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson were seen dining together in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The outing comes as Johnson is reportedly romantically involved with music artist Machine Gun Kelly.

The pair dined at Anajak Thai Cuisine. Jenner, 30, wore a floral-embroidered coat with fur trim, a cream-hued satin blouse, black trousers, and black loafers. Johnson, 37, opted for Levi's jeans, a black cardigan, a brown leather bomber jacket, and white ballet flats.

This dinner marks a reunion for the friends, whose mothers, Kris Jenner and Melanie Griffith, are longtime acquaintances. Johnson previously appeared in Instagram photos with Jenner in August 2025, and they were seen together at a Tame Impala concert in November of that year.

Johnson's new romance with Machine Gun Kelly, 36, has recently garnered attention. The two were reportedly first linked after visiting Taylor Swift's apartment in New York City in September. According to gossip site DeuxMoi, they later spent the night together at a nearby hotel.

Sources suggest Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly may have first crossed paths at Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce in July. Prior to these reports, Johnson had reportedly ended an eight-month relationship with musician Role Model.

Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, was previously in a long-term relationship with Megan Fox. They share a 19-month-old daughter, Saga, and called off their engagement in November 2024. He also has a 17-year-old daughter, Casie, with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon.

In a September interview with Vogue, Johnson commented on her relationships with musicians, stating, "They like me. I don't know what to say. And I like them." She also expressed a desire to have children, telling the publication, "I would love that. I hope that that happens for me."
