Overview
- Multiple outlets say the pair first connected through their shared social circle after meeting at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July wedding and were photographed together in Manhattan on Sept. 11.
- Johnson traveled to Milan to attend Vogue World: Milano on Sept. 22 to watch Machine Gun Kelly walk the runway, which sources portrayed as a sign the relationship has moved past casual outings.
- Neither Johnson nor Colson Baker has publicly confirmed a romance, and Johnson told Vogue’s podcast she does not correct speculation and has pulled back from social media to protect her privacy.
- Current coverage is driven largely by paparazzi photos and unnamed insiders, with Us Weekly providing the most explicit reporting that the two are 'seriously dating.'
- Coverage frames the pairing against both stars’ recent breakups and family plans — Johnson has said she wants children while Baker has two young daughters — and some friends have questioned long‑term fit.
