“Talk about your relationship if you feel comfortable,” Hager, 43, propositioned, which made Kelly shoot back into her seat and appear shocked.

Despite Kelly, 45, looking visibly uncomfortable, the journalist continued to press about their relationship and specifically asked about a recent birthday message the “Friday Night Lights” alum posted for the Imagine Dragons frontman and noted that it was “beautiful.”

“Yeah, it was beautiful,” Kelly responded hesitantly. She also appeared to look off-camera, possibly over at her publicist for help.

“I’m very lucky. He’s a really good guy,” Kelly concluded.

Hager began nervously laughing and called Kelly out saying, “Sounds like you don’t want to talk about it. That’s fine.”

Before Hager could continue the uncomfortable conversation, Munn, 45, swooped in and saved the painful interaction by recalling a fond memory she shares with Reynolds.

She shared her experience working with him on a music video for his band, adding how he was “so kind” and she “love[s]” the musician, prompting Kelly to open up about her boyfriend a bit more.

“He’s the best, they’re all the best,” the “Ransom Canyon” star gushed of Reynolds, 38, and the Imagine Dragons members.

“And I think there’s something sort of similar to the movie, in the theme of love sort of hits you when least expect it,” she explained.

Kelly and Reynolds first sparked romance rumors in November 2022 after being spotted on a date night in LA soon after his split with ex-wife Aja Volkman.

The duo then made it abundantly clear they were together by having several moments of PDA.

Although they mainly keep their relationship out of the spotlight, Reynolds opened up about their relationship last year, sharing that since they were long distance at first, Kelly offered to tell him about herself by sharing a copy of her candid memoir, “Tell Me Everything.”
