Minka Kelly offered an inside look at family time with partner Dan Reynolds.
“No place I’d rather be,” Kelly, 46, captioned an Instagram post on Thursday, July 9. The series of images included her and Imagine Dragons singer Reynolds, 38, at Disneyland with his family.
Reynolds shares four kids — Arrow, 13, twins Gia and Coco, 9, and Valentine, 6 — with ex-wife Aja Volkman, to whom he was married from 2011 to 2024. He moved on with Kelly in 2022 after announcing that he and Volkman, 46, had separated.
While Kelly has offered glimpses of her and Reynolds’ love on social media, Thursday marked the first time she posted photos of his kids. Reynolds also made an appearance in the images. It appeared Kelly snapped a photo mid-conversation while the singer was holding two ice cream cones.

Reynolds previously spoke about introducing Kelly into his kids’ lives while discussing their romance.
“Minka and I are in a really happy, healthy relationship,” he told People in July 2024. “The kids really love Minka and really love their mom, and that’s OK. We view it as kind of bonuses to the family: more people to love, more people to help.”
Reynolds added, “We’ve just been really careful with that and slow with navigating how to bring Minka into that conversation. She’s done a really incredible job of being sensitive and careful on her end as well.”
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 […]
Kelly, for her part, hasn’t shared much about their relationships in interviews. However, the Friday Night Lights alum did offer a lengthy Instagram tribute to Reynolds in July 2025 when celebrating his birthday.
“This beautiful man has healed wounds in me he did not inflict — simply by being himself. By embodying true masculinity,” she wrote. “The kind that is vulnerable, honest and loving.”
Kelly continued, “I thought I knew kindness. Love. Patience. Generosity. Care. I thought I knew how to be gentle. And then I met him.”
As her caption continued, Kelly praised Reynolds as a dad.
“Watching him father and love his babies. Honoring and respecting their beautiful mother,” Kelly shared. “Doing everything he can to be absolutely everything everyone needs from him. Finding ways every day to light up the lives of the ones so lucky enough to be loved by him.”
The actress praised “his benevolence, his priorities, his values, and his honesty” as she gushed over their love.
“As a result, we all feel safe and at ease in his orbit,” Kelly said. “Thank you for loving me. Thank you for blessing my life in ways I never thought possible — but always dreamed of.”
