Dakota Johnson has finally addressed the constant speculation surrounding her love life, but the actress made it clear that she does not intend to spend her time correcting every rumour about who she is dating.
During an appearance on Vogue’s The Run-Through podcast on September 25, Dakota explained that stories about her personal life frequently appear online, even when she is simply spending time with people from her professional circle.
The actress said she has reached a point where she would rather ignore the speculation than constantly try to prove whether a report is true or false.
‘I Don’t Have The Energy To Fight For That’
Speaking about rumours surrounding her relationships, Dakota said, “People are gonna believe what they wanna believe, and I don’t have the energy to fight for that.”
She also described attempts to correct every false report as futile and said she would prefer to focus her energy on other areas of her life.
The actress gave an example of how even an ordinary dinner can become a source of dating speculation. According to Dakota, she could go out with her manager or lawyer and still find headlines suggesting that she had been spotted with a “mystery man.”
Dakota Johnson’s Blunt Message To The Rumour Mill
Dakota did not stop at explaining why she avoids addressing rumours. She also had a direct message for people who remain overly interested in her romantic life.
After saying that she does not care whether online reports are true or false, the actress added, “Get a life.”
Her comments reflect her increasingly private approach to her personal life, particularly when it comes to relationships.
Machine Gun Kelly Dating Rumours Gain Attention
Dakota’s latest comments have arrived amid speculation linking her with musician Machine Gun Kelly, also known as MGK.
The two were recently seen together in New York, with reports saying they have been spending time together. According to an unnamed source cited by People, the pair reportedly “hit it off” after attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding in July. However, Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly have not publicly confirmed that they are dating.
Therefore, the current discussion about their relationship remains based on reported sightings and sources rather than a public confirmation from either star.
Dakota Was Previously Linked To Role Model
Before the recent MGK rumours, Dakota was linked to musician Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury.
Reports had described their relationship as developing during 2026, although neither Dakota nor Role Model publicly offered extensive details about their private life. Later reports said the two had quietly separated.
Dakota had also previously been in a long-term relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Their relationship reportedly ended in 2025 after several years together.
Dakota Johnson Wants More Privacy
The actress also spoke about her relationship with social media during the podcast appearance.
Dakota admitted that she had enjoyed social media more when she was younger, particularly for humour and entertainment. However, she said she no longer enjoys the constant documentation of people's lives.
She explained that she feels uncomfortable with the way social media encourages people to constantly record and follow the personal lives of others.
Her comments help explain why she has increasingly chosen not to respond to every piece of online speculation.
‘Every Day’ There Is Something Online
Dakota also pointed out how quickly rumours can spread online.
According to the actress, every day brings another story that may or may not be true. Instead of trying to correct each one, she has decided to focus on other things in her life.
Her approach is particularly notable because she has spent years in the public eye and has frequently faced intense media attention around both her career and relationships.
Dakota Johnson’s Hollywood Career
While her personal life continues to attract headlines, Dakota remains focused on her acting career.
She became internationally known after starring as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades film series alongside Jamie Dornan. Since then, she has appeared in projects including The Lost Daughter, Persuasion, Cha Cha Real Smooth and Materialists.
Her upcoming film Verity has also generated significant attention. The psychological thriller stars Dakota alongside Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett and is based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. The film is scheduled for theatrical release in India on October 2, 2026.
Dakota Johnson Chooses Silence Over Constant Clarifications
Dakota Johnson’s latest comments offer a clear explanation for why she rarely responds to dating speculation.
Rather than addressing every photograph, headline or online theory, the actress says she would rather spend her time on other priorities. Her remarks also underline the difference between publicly confirmed information and speculation surrounding her personal life.
For now, reports about Dakota and Machine Gun Kelly continue to circulate, but neither star has publicly confirmed a relationship. Dakota, meanwhile, appears to have made her position clear: she does not intend to spend her energy fighting every rumour that appears online.
