Minka Kelly Discusses Dan Reynolds with Drew Barrymore, Rebuts Jenna Bush Hager
Minka Kelly recently expressed her admiration for her boyfriend, Dan Reynolds, during an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” This discussion followed an awkward exchange with TV host Jenna Bush Hager, where Kelly seemed hesitant to delve into her relationship.
Minka Kelly and Dan Reynolds: A Growing Romance
During a Wednesday interview, Barrymore inquired whether Reynolds, the lead singer of Imagine Dragons, had read Kelly’s memoir, “Tell Me Everything.” To everyone’s surprise, Kelly revealed that Reynolds had actually read the book before they met. The couple initially connected through mutual friends, exchanging texts and FaceTime calls.
The Impact of Kelly’s Memoir
Kelly shared how she mentioned her manuscript to Reynolds. He responded enthusiastically, saying, “I wanna read it.” Reflecting on that moment, she said, “You’ll either be terrified and run for the hills, or you’ll see the beauty in all of it.” Fortunately, Reynolds chose the latter, and this experience helped to strengthen their bond.
Despite going public with their relationship in 2022, the couple generally maintains a low profile, rarely discussing their romance in detail. However, Kelly did share a heartfelt tribute to Reynolds in an Instagram post earlier this summer, celebrating his influence in her life.

In contrast, during her appearance on the “Today” show with Jenna Bush Hager, Kelly appeared taken aback by inquiries regarding Reynolds.

That’s fine.”
A Tribute to True Masculinity
In her earlier tribute, Kelly noted how Reynolds “healed wounds in me he did not inflict—simply by being himself.” She praised his embodiment of true masculinity, which she described as vulnerable, honest, and loving.
