MGK Has Viral Moment Addressing Sydney Sweeney Dating Buzz on ‘WWHL’

Machine Gun Kelly addressed ongoing dating rumors in his typical straightforward way during a recent television appearance, finally responding to months of speculation connecting him romantically with actress Sydney Sweeney.

The 35-year-old musician, whose real name is Colson Baker, appeared on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on Sunday, August 10, where he was confronted with a viewer question about his relationship status with the “Euphoria” star.

Direct Response to Fan Questions

When host Andy Cohen read a viewer question from “Kyle P” asking about the nature of his relationship with Sweeney, MGK delivered a blunt response that had the audience laughing. “Kyle P, shut up, dude,” he said while looking directly into the camera and shaking his head.

The romance speculation began gaining traction in May when photos surfaced showing the pair together at a Las Vegas club opening. Page Six published images of MGK and Sweeney, 27, hugging at the Palm Tree Beach Club event, which quickly circulated on social media platforms and sparked widespread discussion among fans.

Later that month, MGK shared an Instagram post that included a photo of himself posing with Sweeney as they flashed peace signs at the camera. Patrick Schwarzenegger and Hollywood hair stylist Glen Oropeza were also featured in the group photo, suggesting a social get-together rather than an intimate moment.

Both celebrities are currently single following recent relationship changes. MGK split from Megan Fox in December 2024, while Sweeney ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino in May.

Long-Standing Professional Connection

The connection between MGK and Sweeney extends beyond recent social media speculation, rooted in their professional collaborations over several years. Their working relationship began with the 2019 film “Big Time Adolescence,” where they appeared alongside MGK’s close friend Pete Davidson. Sweeney later starred in MGK’s 2021 directorial debut “Downfalls High.”

In a May interview with The Times, Sweeney confirmed her current single status, stating she’s “loving it” following her split from former fiancé Jonathan Davino. Meanwhile, MGK has focused on his music career and fatherhood responsibilities.

The musician recently welcomed daughter Saga with Fox in March and is also the father to 16-year-old Casie from a previous relationship. He described fatherhood as something that “recharges your will-to-live battery and recertifies your you-have-a-purpose-here sticker” in a recent interview with People.

MGK has been promoting his new album “Lost Americana,” which he released on August 8, while Sweeney has been busy filming “The Housemaid” and promoting her upcoming Toronto International Film Festival premiere, “Christy.”
