Minka Kelly seemed surprised by the question and reacted visibly. She leaned back slightly, looked around the studio, and gave the impression that she hoped someone would step in to change the subject.

Noticing Kelly’s hesitation, Hager eventually backed off and laughed, acknowledging that Kelly did not want to discuss her private life on television. The actress has always been careful about what she shares publicly, especially regarding her romantic relationships. Her short answer made it clear she preferred to keep this part of her life out of the spotlight during the interview.
Kelly and Reynolds have been together since they were introduced by mutual friends in 2022. Though they usually keep their relationship private, they have occasionally spoken about their bond. Reynolds previously shared that they connected deeply while working on personal creative projects on his album Loom and Kelly’s memoir Tell Me Everything. He said the experience brought them closer and helped build trust between them.
