Machine Gun Kelly gave a blunt response when asked about dating rumors involving actress Sydney Sweeney during a recent television appearance. The musician appeared on Watch What Happens Live where host Andy Cohen read a fan question about the speculation.
MGK’s Direct Response to Dating Speculation
The interaction happened when Cohen asked about rumors that began after MGK and Sweeney were seen together in Las Vegas. The host said:
“Kyle P. wants to know if you and Sydney Sweeney were more than just friends?”
MGK quickly replied:
“Kyle P. Shut up, dude.”
The audience laughed at his straightforward answer. The exchange left some viewers wondering if this meant the rumors were true or false. Social media reactions showed mixed interpretations of his response.
How the Dating Rumors Started
The speculation began in May when MGK and Sweeney attended the opening of the Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. Videos showed them talking closely with Sweeney placing her hand on MGK’s arm. They also shared a hug during the event.
Both stars posted photos from the night on their social media accounts. Sweeney appeared in MGK’s Instagram slideshow from the trip. These interactions happened shortly after Sweeney ended her engagement with longtime partner Jonathan Davino.
MGK and Sweeney’s Professional History
The two have known each other since working together on the 2021 film Downfalls High, which MGK directed. Sweeney had a role in the movie alongside the musician. Their recent friendly outing in Vegas was not their first public appearance together.
MGK has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with actress Megan Fox since 2020. The couple welcomed a daughter named Saga in March 2025. Reports say they split during Fox’s pregnancy but have been co-parenting their child.
Fan Reactions to MGK’s Comments
After the TV segment aired, social media users shared different views about MGK’s response. Some thought his words meant the rumors were true while others saw it as a clear denial.
One Instagram user wrote:
“So did he answer?”
Another comment said:
“That’s a yes.”
Representatives for both MGK and Sweeney did not comment when asked about the dating rumors by news outlets. The actress has not publicly addressed the speculation herself.
MGK’s Recent Personal Life Updates
The musician has been open about his struggles in recent interviews. He mentioned spending time in rehab from November 2024 to January 2025. His new album Lost Americana includes songs about personal challenges.
One track called Treading Water references “lies” and a broken home. MGK said the song represents his commitment to change for his daughter. He discussed these topics on the Popcast podcast but kept details private.
Sweeney remains focused on her acting career after successful roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus. Her breakup from Davino became public in March 2025 after their January split. The actress has not confirmed any new relationships since then.
