MGK Responds to Dating Rumors Involving Sydney Sweeney

Machine Gun Kelly recently spoke out about the speculation surrounding his alleged romance with Sydney Sweeney.

During his appearance on the episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that aired on Sunday, August 10, MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, was directly asked about his relationship with 27-year-old Sweeney.

Andy Cohen read a viewer question from “Kyle P.”, stating, “MGK, Kyle P wants to know if there’s any truth to the rumor that you and Sydney Sweeney are more than just friends.”

MGK, 35, replied while shaking his head and looking straight into the camera, “Kyle P, shut up, dude,” prompting laughter from Cohen and the audience.

In May, Page Six published photos of MGK and Sweeney sharing a hug at a Las Vegas club opening. Later that month, MGK posted an Instagram carousel featuring a photo of himself and Sweeney making peace signs at the camera, along with Patrick Schwarzenegger and stylist Glen Oropeza.

Sweeney also shared an Instagram Story in which she posed with Schwarzenegger, 31, and MGK at the Vegas event.

Currently, both MGK and Sweeney are single; MGK’s separation from Megan Fox was confirmed by Us Weekly in December 2024, and Sweeney called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino in May. MGK is a father to a 4-month-old daughter, Saga, with Fox, 39, alongside his 16-year-old daughter, Casie, from a previous relationship with Emma Cannon.

MGK and Sweeney have been friends for years, with Sweeney appearing in MGK’s directorial debut, Downfalls High, in 2021. They also starred together in the 2019 film Big Time Adolescence, alongside MGK’s close friend Pete Davidson.

During his time on WWHL, an audience member also asked MGK about his dream music collaboration, both living and deceased. He responded, “I like Frank, man, Frank Sinatra. I’d do that.”

He was also asked by Cohen about age, which led to an intriguing response from MGK: “It’s a weird thing, dude, I don’t know if it exists.”

Cohen compared MGK’s perspective on aging to that of Mariah Carey, who told Harper’s Bazaar in July that she doesn’t “allow” herself to age. This prompted MGK to share, “I just don’t know many facts about my life, so I’m starting to just be like, like, my skin, if it just rips open, it heals really quick, there’s just things where I’m starting to be, like, who’s my dad, you know?”

In a hint of otherworldly suggestions, MGK mentioned that he once asked his mother if there was a time she went missing, to which she gave an unusual response.

“She told me she got abducted at one point, so I was just, like,” MGK said with a shrug.
