Actress Minka Kelly recently found herself in an awkward moment during a segment on “Today with Jenna & Friends,” hosted by Jenna Bush Hager and Olivia Munn, as discussions shifted from her upcoming holiday film “Champagne Problems” to her romantic life with singer Dan Reynolds.
During the interview aired on November 19, Bush Hager ventured into personal territory by asking Kelly about her relationship with Reynolds, prompting a surprised and slightly agitated reaction from the actress. After noting the significant themes of love explored in her holiday film, Bush Hager encouraged Kelly to discuss her relationship, referencing Kelly’s heartfelt birthday message to the Imagine Dragons frontman. Kelly responded positively, expressing, “I feel very lucky. He’s a really good guy.” However, the exchange took a turn as Bush Hager jokingly acknowledged Kelly’s reluctance to delve deeper into her personal life, saying, “Sounds like you don’t want to talk about it. That’s fine.”
Olivia Munn, trying to ease the moment, contributed, “I love Dan, I did his music video. It was the first thing I did after COVID,” mentioning that she was pregnant at the time, which was a surprise to many. Kelly echoed her sentiments, praising Reynolds and the entire band, saying, “He’s the best, they’re all the best,” before steering the conversation back to her film, hinting at parallels between the film’s themes and real-life relationships.
Kelly and Reynolds have been dating since 2022, although Kelly has a history of high-profile relationships, including connections with Chris Evans, Derek Jeter, Trevor Noah, and Jesse Williams. Reynolds, who was previously married to singer Aja Volkman, shares four children with her. Volkman had filed for divorce in 2023, finalizing the separation in 2024.
This conversation not only shed light on Kelly’s current romance but also highlights the importance of love and personal connections, especially during the holiday season. As both Kelly and Reynolds continue to evolve in their personal lives, fans and followers remain invested in their journey together.
