Minka Kelly Opens Up About Dan Reynolds Following Discomfort onโ ‘Today‘
NEW YORK, NY -โ Minka Kellyโ addressed her relationship with Imagine Dragons frontman Danโ Reynolds in a recent interview with Drew Barrymore, offering a glimpse into their connection after visibly shutting down questions about him on “Today with Jenna & Friends” earlier this week. The conversation marks a rare publicโฃ acknowledgment of the relationship by Kelly, who previouslyโ shared a heartfelt tribute to Reynolds on social media โin July.
Kelly’s initial reluctance to discuss Reynolds came โduring a โฃTuesday โฃsegment on “Today,” where co-host Jenna Bush Hager inquired about a glowing Instagram post โคKelly had writtenโ celebrating Reynolds’ โคbirthday.โค Kelly responded briefly, calling Reynolds a “really goodโ guy,” prompting Bush Hager to quickly acknowledge Kelly’s apparent discomfort and dropโ the subject. The exchange sparked online discussion โabout Kelly’s privacy and the public’s interest in her personal life.
During โher appearance on “Theโข Drew Barrymore show,” Kelly spoke more openly โคabout Reynolds,โ describing him as โฃa profoundly โขkind and supportive partner. “He’s justโ a โฃreally astonishing human being,” Kelly shared, echoing sentiments from her July Instagram post where she โwrote Reynolds “healed wounds in โme he did not inflict – simply by โขbeing himself.” She continued, praising โคhis “benevolence, his priorities, his values, and his honesty,” adding, “He’s just a really โgood person.”
Kelly’s relationship with Reynolds,which began in 2022,has largely remained out โof the spotlight. Reynolds was โขpreviously married to aja Volkman,with whom he co-parents four children. Kelly has previously beenโค linked to comedian โขTrevor Noah and actor โJesse Williams,โ among others.
The interview with Barrymore offers a contrast to Kelly’s guarded response โฃon “today,” suggesting a willingness to โคshare aspects of โher relationship on her own terms.While Kelly continues to โmaintainโข a degree of privacy, her recentโ comments signal a growing comfort inโ acknowledgingโค theโ positiveโฃ impact Reynolds has โฃhad โon her life.
