Minka Kelly and Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds have reportedly ended their relationship after four years together. Entertainment Weekly and TMZ reported the split on Oct. 7, with EW citing PEOPLE’s reporting that the breakup happened recently.
The actress and musician began dating in 2022 after being introduced through a mutual friend. Their relationship developed after a period of long phone conversations in which they shared creative work with one another.
How Kelly and Reynolds got together
Reynolds previously explained that he sent Kelly demos of his music while she shared drafts of her memoir Tell Me Everything. That creative exchange helped the pair get to know one another before meeting in person.
The relationship began after Reynolds’ marriage to Aja Volkman ended. Reynolds and Volkman share four children, and Kelly later became part of the broader family dynamic.
The couple had shared family moments publicly
Kelly and Reynolds occasionally appeared together publicly and shared glimpses of their life as a couple. Reports noted that Kelly had developed a close relationship with Reynolds’ children, and social media posts earlier in 2026 showed the group spending time together.
That made news of the breakup unexpected for some fans, although neither Kelly nor Reynolds had made a detailed public statement explaining the reported split at the time of the initial reports.
What has been confirmed
Multiple entertainment outlets are reporting that the relationship has ended, while representatives were contacted for comment. Without a direct statement from both stars, details about why the relationship ended should be treated cautiously.
Kelly remains active as an actress, while Reynolds continues his work with Imagine Dragons. Their four-year relationship had largely avoided the level of public drama surrounding many celebrity couples, and the first reports of the breakup similarly offered few details beyond confirmation that they had gone their separate ways.
