MGK dodges question about Sydney Sweeney romance after Vegas outing

Machine Gun Kelly has addressed, or perhaps avoided addressing, swirling rumors about his connection with Sydney Sweeney. The speculation began after the pair were spotted together at the grand opening of Las Vegas’ Palm Tree Beach Club in May, fueling talk of a potential romance.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, the rapper and actor was confronted with a fan question about whether his relationship with the Euphoria star went beyond friendship. Host Andy Cohen read the query aloud, only for MGK to respond with a quick “Kyle P., shut up dude,” prompting laughter from Cohen and the audience. His five-word reply, however, left the internet debating whether it was an artful dodge or a playful confirmation.

Social media reactions were swift. Clips of the exchange posted on the show’s accounts drew comments noting that MGK never explicitly denied the rumors. Some fans even interpreted his tone as suggestive, reigniting speculation about what really happened between the two.

MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, shares a young daughter with Megan Fox and also has a teenage daughter from a previous relationship. Sydney, meanwhile, is coming off a high-profile breakup with her fiancé Jonathan Davino in March after seven years together. She has kept quiet on the MGK chatter but was seen in July enjoying a jet ski outing in Idaho with another unidentified man, further complicating the public’s guessing game about her love life.

The pair’s history dates back years. They both appeared in the 2019 film Big Time Adolescence, and Sydney starred in MGK’s 2021 music film Downfalls High. Their long-standing acquaintance gives fans plenty of fodder to believe the Vegas reunion was not entirely by chance. Whether their connection is strictly platonic or something more, MGK’s evasive quip has only intensified the spotlight on them.
