The Vegas Spark That Ignited Rumours

Both stars were recently single when the reports started-Sweeney had reportedly called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino, and MGK separated from Megan Fox. Just at that exact point in time, an elaborate narrative was being built suggesting that the two were seeking comfort in each other’s company. Internet went crazy, and TikTok and what is now X were flooded with clips and fan theories about the budding romance.

While the dating rumours have ended, let’s not forget that the relationship shared by Machine Gun Kelly and Sydney Sweeney which goes long back in time. Both co-starred in the film Big Time Adolescence in 2019. Sweeney also had a primary role in MGK’s directorial debut in 2021, Downfalls High.
But, it’s clear now, with MGK’s response that this was just another friendly bond, declining all the dating and romance rumours. So, all the shippers can rest now!
