Machine Gun Kelly has subtly tried to avoid talking about the current rumors about him dating Sydney Sweeney.
Earlier this year, after it was revealed the Euphoria actor was no longer engaged, the rapper and Sweeney were found hugging in a video obtained by PageSix, and she was then shown in an Instagram post from the 'Wild Boy' singer, further fueling dating rumors.
On Sunday, the singer, whose real name is Colson Baker, appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where he was asked explicitly about the nature of his relationship with Sweeney.
Cohen was reading a question from a viewer as he said, 'MGK, Kyle P wants to know if there's any truth to the rumor that you and Sydney Sweeney were more than just friends.'
The rapper then avoided answering the question as he began shaking his head before looking directly into the camera. 'Kyle P, shut up, dude,' he said, causing the host and live audience to laugh.

Sweeney and Jonathan Davino first started dating in 2018, became engaged in 2022, and planned to get married. However, the wedding was reportedly called off in March, with the actor confirming she was single in an interview with The Times in May.
Machine Gun Kelly was previously engaged to Megan Fox and shares one child with her before calling off their engagement last Thanksgiving.
During another portion of the Watch What Happens Live episode, Machine Gun Kelly said he might be part-alien after answering Cohen's question about how old he was.
'It's a weird thing, dude. I don't know if [my age] exists,' MGK said.
'I don't know many facts about my life,' he added. 'My skin, if it rips open, it heals really quick. There are just things where I'm starting to be like, 'Who's my dad?' You know?'
He was asked if his mother had 'at any period of time, [she] went missing, off the Earth' and whether there was 'ever a tall, slender creature that…' which furthered his suspicion that he might not be fully human.
'She told me that she felt like she got abducted at one point,' he said about his mother.

The 'Don't Let Me Go' singer's comments come after the singer shared how he's abided by water fasts — where he often skips the recommended three meals a day.
Speaking on Friday's episode of The New York Times podcast, Popcast, he said that shortly after he left rehab last December, he decided to try a water fast, which is exactly as it sounds: no food or beverage consumption except water.
Three days into a January water fast, the Los Angeles wildfires started 'pretty close' to Kelly's house.
'I'm like, 'I'm just going to push and go for four days of this water fast,' the singer said. 'On the fourth day, at Michael B. Jordan's house, my neighbor, we're looking and the fires are right there.'
'My body's already going through it,' he continued. 'I'm pushing myself through a delirious state. And I'm not really sure if the house is going to burn or anything like that.' He grabbed a few letters and a 'Banksy and a Picasso piece' from his home, before evacuating amid the wildfires.
Kelly's comments about the water fast come after he confessed that he doesn't eat that often.
'I don't really eat, just do water a bunch,' he told Adin Ross on a recent Kick livestream. He also noted that he mainly fasts, so he only ate a burger from Chef Mike Majlak because they were doing a livestream.

Trump to visit Kennedy Center after hinting at name change as honors announced
Update: Date: 2025-08-13T09:47:20.000Z Title: Trump at Kennedy Center same day that honors are announced Content: Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. My name is Tom Ambrose and I will be bringing you all the latest news. We start with the news that Donald Trump will be visiting the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, the same day that the recipients of this year's honors are announced. Trump avoided the Kennedy Center Honors during his first term after artists said they would not attend out of protest. This year, he has taken over as the Kennedy Center's new chairman and fired the board of trustees, which he replaced with loyalists. In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump teased a name change for the performing arts center and said it would be restored to its former glory, AP reported. 'GREAT Nominees for the TRUMP/KENNEDY CENTER, whoops, I mean, KENNEDY CENTER, AWARDS,' Trump wrote. He said work was being done on the site that would be 'bringing it back to the absolute TOP LEVEL of luxury, glamour, and entertainment.' 'It had fallen on hard times, physically, BUT WILL SOON BE MAKING A MAJOR COMEBACK!!!' he wrote. It is unclear how this year's batch of honorees were chosen, though Trump had indicated he wanted a more active role. Historically, a bipartisan advisory committee selects the recipients, who over the years have ranged from George Balanchine and Tom Hanks to Aretha Franklin and Stephen Sondheim. A message sent to the Kennedy Center press office asking how this year's honorees were selected wasn't returned Tuesday. The Kennedy Center did post this on social media, however: 'Coming Soon ... A country music icon, an Englishman, a New York City Rock band, a dance Queen and a multi-billion dollar Actor walk into the Kennedy Center Opera House ...' In other developments: The DC national guard began deploying on the city's streets Tuesday night, a day after Trump ordered their arrival and took control of the city's police force, calling Washington DC a 'lawless' city, despite official crime statistics saying otherwise. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately improve conditions at a New York City immigration holding facility, acting on mounting complaints from detainees that the cells are overcrowded, unsanitary and inhumane. The Texas Senate approved a GOP-drawn congressional map that would give Republicans five more House seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. But since House Democrats continue to break quorum, the legislation isn't going anywhere. Speaker Dustin Burrows said the House will adjourn until Friday, at which point the legislature will attempt to reach quorum one more time. President Trump is due to speak with European leaders, including Volodymyr Zelenskyy, today ahead of Friday's meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt characterised Friday's meeting between Trump and Putin as a 'listening exercise' for the president, confirming that Zelenskyy would not be in attendance, but the president has hopes for a trilateral meeting in the future. For more on the upcoming meeting, follow our Europe live blog here. California governor Gavin Newsom says the state will draw new electoral maps after Trump 'missed' a deadline on Tuesday night in an ongoing redistricting battle between Democratic and Republican states. The Trump administration is evidently extending its control of cultural representation at the Smithsonian, the world's largest museum and research complex. In a letter posted on the White House website, the administration told the Smithsonian that it plans a wide review of exhibitions, materials and operations ahead of the US's 250th anniversary celebrations in 2026.

Meghan is accused of being a copy-Kate again: Duchess opts for same jumper once worn by Princess as she debuts her VERY expensive wardrobe for season two of Netflix series
Meghan Markle has been spotted wearing a very familiar jumper in the new trailer for the second series of her Netflix lifestyle show With Love, Meghan - one that the Princess of Wales wore first. The Duchess of Sussex, 44, wears a burgundy version of a soft ribbed jumper by French It-girl label Sézane that Kate Middleton donned in cream in 2023. Eagle-eyed royal fans spotted the details of the crew neck jumper, which features a raglan shoulder and five buttons in a row from the wrist to the forearm, and compared it to the knitted co-ord Kate wore during her visit to Nottingham Trent University two years ago. At the time, the Princess, 43, was a picture of elegance as she wore the cotton and merino Sami jumper with its matching Naelle midi skirt in an affordable outfit that cost £245 for the set. She styled the co-ord with pearl earrings from Simone Rocha and suede pumps by Gianvito Rossi. Meghan's burgundy version is over £40 more expensive than Kate's natural-hued jumper at £155, and is sold out in nearly all sizes on the Sézane website. But the relaxed knit is one of Meghan's more reasonably priced garments that she wears in the series, with the rest of her wardrobe and accessories amounting to thousands of pounds. The second series of With Love, Meghan will see the Duchess wearing a dainty floral print midi dress with a belt by Carolina Herrera, priced at US$2,490 (approximately £1,838). In another episode, she wears a second Carolina Herrera dress, this time a striped shirtdress priced at nearly £600. Meghan also wears a striped A-line midi dress with thing straps by Veronica Beard, which is surprisingly affordable for £214 - but her chosen jewellery brings the outfit price up to well over £9,000. She styles the navy blue and white striped dress with a diamond and gold necklace and pendant by Jessica McCormack, priced at an eyewatering £8,800. In the first series of With Love, Meghan, the former royal also showcased her obsession with designer clothes and sparkling accessories, but she also threw some high street fashion into the mix. For example, she wore a cashmere jumper by Jenni Kane, US$395 (£291) draped over a knitted T-shirt by Loro Piana, US$1,325 (£978) and paired the outfit with linen-blend pleated trousers by Zara. However, another episode saw her dripping in designer, from her Zimmerman button-up shirt and shorts co-ord, US$1,070 (£790) to her Saint Laurent leather sandals, US$730 (£538), alongside Natalie Marie earrings, a Logan Hollowell necklace and an Ariel Gordon tennis bracelet valued at over US$10,700 (£7,900). Prince Harry's wife has always been a fan of designer threads, frequently stepping out in Aquazurra stilettos, of which she reportedly owns 26 pairs, and big name labels like Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Stella McCartney and Gabriela Hearst. Her favourite Aquazurra heels start at around £500 and can go up to more than £1,100. Meghan also showed off her designer wardrobe in the second series of her Netflix show, wearing dresses by Carolina Herrera The former royal has always been a fan of designer labels and wore brands like Zimmerman and Saint Laurent in the first series of her show While promoting her lifestyle brand As Ever, Meghan has also been known to bring designer labels into her visuals. She recently shared a clip to promote the second drop of her As Ever Napa Valley rosé on the eve of her 44th birthday, which showed her frolicking in the sun with a wicker basket filled with flowers and bottles of wine. While her face did not feature in the video, she showed off her signature stack of rings on her left ring finger, including her engagement ring, wedding ring and an infinity ring, estimated to be worth around £210,000. She also wore a gold Cartier Love Bracelet, which costs up to £7,050, and a gold Cartier Tank Watch that once belonged to Princess Diana, both of which she regularly wears. The clip later showed a view of Meghan's swinging feet as she sits atop a stone garden wall, clad in £720 tan-coloured Hermes Santorini sandals. The Duchess is used to wearing valuable clothes that cost tens of thousands of pounds, particularly when she was still a working royal before she and Harry stepped down in 2020. To announce her engagement to the Duke of Sussex, Meghan wore a Ralph & Russo haute couture dress that reportedly cost US$75,000 (£55,373) - but this was just the third most expensive outfit she has ever worn. The most expensive dress Meghan has ever donned was her US$265,000 (£195,652) Clare Waight Kelly for Givenchy wedding dress, which featured an off-shoulder neck line and long sleeves, with a five metre-long veil that was embroidered with flowers representing the countries of the Commonwealth. Second to that was the dress she wore for her reception, a US$157,000 (£115,915) minimalist Stella McCartney dress with a halter neck and draped skirt.
