Minka Kelly and Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds' relationship timeline from meeting over the phone to his cameo in her Netflix show 'Ransom Canyon'
Minka Kelly and Dan Reynolds began their romance over the phone — and the rest is history.
Reynolds shared that he was introduced to Kelly by a mutual friend in 2022 following his divorce from Aja Volkman. The twosome spoke over the phone for a while eventually agreeing to send each other what they were working on. Kelly was in the midst of writing her Tell Me Everything memoir while Reynolds, who is the frontman of rock band Imagine Dragons, was busy with his Loom album.
“She’s like, ‘Well, if you’re going to share your art, I can share something with you, but it’s very vulnerable for me,’” Reynolds recalled to People in July 2024. “‘Do you want to do this or not?’”
Reynolds explained that they ended up sharing their work with each other, which “ended up being a really beautiful thing and brought [them] a lot closer.”

“I think it helped us both kind of understand each other on a deeper level quickly,” he shared with People in July 2024. “It was a really strange and awesome way to meet someone because I was hearing all her life stories from youth to now, and she had a really hard, colorful, beautiful life. Getting to read it all before you even meet somebody … I’ve never had that kind of introduction to someone.”
