Dakota Johnson has never been the type to give a boring interview, and her new Vogue cover story is proof. In it, she describes dating musicians as“tricky motherf–kers,”then immediately adds,“They like me. I don’t know what to say. And I like them.”It’s equal parts confession, joke, and self-awareness, and the timing could not be better.
That’s because on September 11, she was spotted on a low-key dinner date in New York City with MGK, 36. A source told Page Six the two“hit it off”and that there was“definitely chemistry.”MGK’s last public relationship was with Megan Fox, while Dakota has dated Chris Martin and Role Model. The musician pattern, as she herself seems to acknowledge, is not a coincidence.
The interview also gets unexpectedly personal. Dakota, 36, opened up about wanting children and about her life turning out differently than she expected. That candid moment is what makes this story land beyond the dating gossip, because plenty of people at 36 are living a version of life they didn’t plan either.
So what do you think: do musicians really make trickier partners, or is the stereotype unfair? Sound off in the comments.
