Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly spent the day and evening together in Los Angeles, which has once again fueled rumors that the actress and the musician are dating. The two were spotted leaving a music studio on the morning of October 23, and a few hours later they were spotted outside the Chateau Marmont.
The musician helped the actress into his car before the two continued on together.
At around 11:30 p.m., Johnson and the musician left the Chateau Marmont, sitting side by side in the backseat of a car. They appeared to be wearing the same clothes from earlier in the day, although the rocker had already taken off his denim jacket. This is how the tattoos on his arms were visible as he smiled broadly.

The first rumors of a relationship between Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly emerged in September, when the two were spotted getting out of a black SUV in New York. They then headed to Taylor Swift's apartment in Tribeca.
