Minka Kelly and Dan Reynolds' relationship is thriving, even outside the spotlight of Friday night lights. According to an exclusive source, their love is undeniable and everything is going incredibly well for both of them.
Kelly and the 35-year-old Imagine Dragons singer's relationship initially progressed slowly, but it has become considerably more serious in recent months, a source reveals. Despite Reynolds' busy touring schedule, he and Minka make an effort to spend as much of their free time together as possible. Whenever they are apart, they frequently communicate through text messages, FaceTime, and phone calls.
According to a source, Kelly and Reynolds are considered adorable by their friends, and their connection is recognized as amazing. The Friday Night Lights alum was initially associated with Reynolds in November 2022 when they were seen together at an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles.
Minka and Dan's relationship is in its early stages, but things are going well and they are both very happy. They are taking their time and slowly building their connection instead of rushing into things. So far, everything is going smoothly and they are enjoying each other's company.
On June 23rd, Kelly and Reynolds were seen publicly displaying their affection outside the Ole Henriksen Face/Body Spa in L.A. Photos obtained by the Daily Mail captured a kiss between the two. In one image, Kelly playfully touched Reynolds' chin, resulting in smiles from both of them.
Reynolds' relationship with Kelly blossomed two months after he publicly announced the end of his marriage to Aja Volkman. The two musicians initially separated in April 2018 after being married for seven years. However, in 2019, Reynolds confirmed that he and Volkman, age 43, had decided to give their relationship another try.
"We chose to continue putting in the effort and working on our marriage. It has been an ongoing process, and things are going well," Reynolds stated exclusively to Us in April 2019. "One of my main goals, using the platform I have, is to emphasize that everyone faces challenges and struggles. We're all human beings."
Reynolds and Volkman reconciled and had their fourth child, Valentine, in October 2019. They have three other children together: daughter Arrow, aged 10, and twins Gia and Coco, aged 6. In December of that same year, they got engaged for the second time. However, Reynolds announced their separation in September 2022, and in April it was confirmed that Volkman had filed for divorce. Meanwhile, during her time on the NBC show Friday Night Lights from 2006 to 2011, Kelly dated her costar Taylor Kitsch. In her memoir, Tell Me Everything, which was released in May, she discussed the "toxic" dynamic in their relationship.
"We quickly and intensely experienced a strong attraction towards each other. At that time, I might have believed we were deeply in love, but in reality, it was infatuation. I had yet to understand the concept of giving and receiving love. Being together with Kitsch was something I enjoyed, but our compatibility issues would eventually overshadow the good times. Our relationship was an unpredictable cycle of getting back together and breaking up numerous times."
"Kelly's most recent romantic involvement was with Trevor Noah, which lasted on and off from 2020 to 2022. In May 2022, it was confirmed that Kelly and the host of The Daily Show, who is now 39, had been separated for quite some time, but their split was amicable."
