Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has finally addressed the swirling rumors about a possible romance with actress Sydney Sweeney—and he did it in his signature cheeky style.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a fan asked if the two were “more than friends” following their seemingly cozy moment at a Las Vegas event in May. Instead of giving a direct answer, MGK playfully shut it down:
“Kyle P., shut up, dude,” he quipped, prompting laughter from the audience.
Where MGK and Sydney Sweeney Rumors Started
Speculation first caught fire back in May when Sweeney—freshly split from fiancé Jonathan Davino—and MGK, who had recently ended his relationship with Megan Fox, were spotted together at the opening of the Palm Tree Beach Club in Las Vegas.
An exclusive video published by Page Six showed the two in a warm embrace and chatting closely, which quickly fueled media buzz about a potential romance.
On Twitter and other platforms, fans were quick to weigh in:
-
Some interpreted MGK’s response as indirect confirmation:
“That’s a yes.”
-
Others brought humor to the speculation:
“So did he answer?”
-
Additional commentary noted the chemistry from their Vegas appearance:
Many fans watching their cozy Vegas moment—hugging, whispering, and laughing—speculated over every gesture. Some even quipped “Sorry, Megan Fox—looks like he’s moving on,” while another chimed in, “She’s better suited for him anyway.”
Other posts focused on their body language, with debates over whether the affectionate touch was just friendly or flirtatious—fans dissected every detail in the viral Las Vegas clip.
A History Together
This wouldn’t be the first time MGK and Sweeney crossed paths professionally. The pair previously worked together on Big Time Adolescence (2019), and Sweeney also appeared in MGK’s musical film Downfalls High (2021).
Adding to the intrigue, sources claimed MGK appeared “interested” in Sweeney during the Vegas event—allegations that reportedly didn’t sit well with Megan Fox, who, according to insiders, urged him to focus on his role as a father.
While MGK’s evasive (and humorous) response didn’t confirm anything, it certainly didn’t squash the speculation either. If anything, it left the door wide open for fans to keep guessing—something the musician seems perfectly comfortable with.
MGK finally addresses Sydney Sweeney dating rumors with a cheeky response on Watch What Happens Live, months after their cozy Vegas moment sparked speculation.
