Dakota Johnson & MGK steal a night in Taylor Swift's Tribeca loft

**Dakota Johnson and MGK Spotted Using Taylor Swift’s Apartment for Low‑Key First Date**
Johnson and MGK were seen sharing a quiet first date on Friday, September 11, at Taylor Swift’s Tribeca apartment in New York City. The couple’s low‑profile outing was revealed by a source who said they wanted privacy during the evening.
The source added that “Dakota contacted Taylor, and Taylor said she wasn’t home, so they could use her place.”
Taylor Swift reportedly allows close friends to use her residence when she is away, . No comments have come from representatives for Johnson, MGK, or Swift in response to the story. After the apartment stop‑over, the pair checked into the actress’s hotel and later dined at Estela.
Johnson and MGK are both 36 and have long moved in overlapping social circles. In October 2025 they appeared together at World: Hollywood held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. The duo was also present at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 3, when Swift tied the knot with Travis Kelce.
## Background & Context
Johnson’s romance with MGK comes after each has recently ended high‑profile relationships. MGK (real name Colson Baker) ended his on‑and‑off partnership with Megan Fox in November 2024. The couple had engaged in January 2022, but the two have since been co‑parents to their daughter, Saga, born in March 2025 after their split.
Fox also shares three sons—Noah (13), Bodhi (11), and Journey (10)—with ex‑husband Brian Austin Green. MGK also has a 17‑year‑old daughter, Casie, from an earlier relationship.
Johnson’s recent break involved singer Role Model, real name Tucker Pillsbury. The actress dated the musician for seven months before People confirmed their split in August 2025. Prior to that, she was in a relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin from October 2017 to June 2025.
Johnson has not publicly addressed her recent divorces but shared a dating non‑negotiable during a June 2025 interview on Today.
## What People Are Saying
In an April interview, an exclusive source described the pair’s recent relationship troubles: “They were on a good path and things have blown up again.” The source added that the exes had “many disagreements and explosive fights” and that their communication had become “terrible.” MGK has reportedly tried to reconcile with Fox, but she has declined interest.
Despite the split, MGK praised Fox as “the greatest partner to have had a child with, because she’s such a phenomenal mom.” On The Jennifer Hudson Show in September 2025 he said, “We go back and forth on who [Saga] looks like. Last month, she looked exactly like me, and now she looks exactly like her.”
Johnson’s dating history has attracted media attention, but she has not yet made public comments about her recent split or her new dating status. No statements have been issued by representatives for either Johnson or MGK following the apartment outing.
## What Happens Next
Reps for Johnson, MGK, and Swift remain silent about the couple’s private evening. The story does not yet reveal any plans beyond the dinner at Estela. As of now, no further updates on the couple’s future public appearances have been announced.
Both Johnson and MGK appear to be keeping their new relationship low‑profile for the time being.
In the absence of official statements, observers will likely watch for any public appearances or announcements from either star as their personal lives continue to evolve.
