Minka Kelly demonstrated her poise and graciousness when faced with a personal inquiry about her relationship during her recent guest appearance on “Today with Jenna & Friends.”
On Tuesday, Kelly joined cohost Jenna Bush Hager and guest cohost Olivia Munn to promote her new romantic comedy, “Champagne Problems.” The segment started on a light note, but Hager steered the conversation toward Kelly’s real-life romance with Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds. This shift created a moment of noticeable hesitation as Kelly was taken aback by the sudden focus on her private life.
Hager delicately asked, “Speaking about the holidays and love in this romcom, you have a very big love in your life right now,” before inviting Kelly to share more if she felt comfortable doing so. Initially surprised by the question, Kelly maintained her composure and responded with a small smile. She acknowledged a heartfelt birthday message she had shared for Reynolds, saying, “It was beautiful. I’m very lucky. He’s a really good guy.” Despite the initial discomfort, Kelly handled the inquiry with grace, carefully selecting her words as she described Reynolds.
Recognizing the tension in the room, Olivia Munn helped ease the atmosphere by recounting a warm experience of working with Reynolds on an Imagine Dragons music video. Her kind remarks appeared to lift Kelly’s spirits, allowing her to open up further, as she responded, “He’s the best, they’re all the best,” proudly mentioning both Reynolds and his bandmates.
Speculation surrounding Kelly and Reynolds’ relationship began in November 2022 when the pair were seen together in Los Angeles shortly after Reynolds’ split from ex-wife Aja Volkman. The couple’s budding romance continues to capture public attention, highlighting moments that blend both affection and a mutual respect for privacy in the entertainment spotlight.
