Minka Kelly and Dan Reynolds Step Out Together on Red Carpet for First Time

Minka Kelly and Dan Reynolds have reached a major relationship milestone, appearing together on a red carpet for the very first time.

The pair attended the 2026 MOCA Gala held at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 30. While they've been photographed together at events before—most notably at a Gladiator II screening in October 2024—this marks their inaugural official red carpet appearance as a couple.

The two have been dating since late 2022. They first became linked romantically in November 2022, just months after Dan's separation from his longtime wife Aja Volkman was made public.

During a July 2024 interview, Dan shared the origin story of their connection, explaining that a mutual friend introduced them. However, the timing didn't immediately allow for an in-person meeting, as Minka was based in the UK for work commitments at the time. To bridge the distance, Dan sent her music he was working on, while Minka reciprocated by sharing passages and drafts from her memoir, which explored her romantic history, behind-the-scenes moments from Friday Night Lights, and other personal reflections.

The couple's relationship has continued to develop over the past few years. Last July, when Dan turned 38, Minka posted a heartfelt birthday tribute on Instagram, reflecting on how he has positively impacted her life.
