Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds is making headlines after media reports circulated about him dating Sofia Vergara. The duo was recently spotted at a late-night dinner in Los Angeles, holding hands and enjoying the moment. Their intimate interaction raised eyebrows; however, neither has commented on it yet. Do you know Dan was once happily married to singer Aja Volkman, a relationship that ended in divorce after 12 years?
Dan Reynolds and Aja Volkman reconciled over a text after their initial split
Dan Reynolds and Aja Volkman had faced many ups and downs in their relationship. The duo first met while playing gigs at Wasted Space in Las Vegas. Though they thought music was their only link, they discovered how similar they were. They fell head over heels in love and married in 2011.
After a year of marriage, Dan and Aja welcomed their daughter Arrow Eve. In 2017, the musical duo expanded their family with twin daughters, Gia and Coco. While fans rooted for their beautiful relationship, Dan announced their split after seven years of marriage, saying, ‘Our children continue to be the most important thing in our lives, & we will continue to co-parent them with all our love.’
However, a simple text from Aja changed their marriage. After their split, Dan and Aja didn’t talk for seven months. When their three children came to visit their dad on tour, they communicated only through a third party. Lawyers drafted the divorce papers, and Dan was about to sign when he received a text from Aja.
The text was an honest confession from his wife, Aja, about her feelings for him. It was the first time she spoke to him in seven months as she wrote, ‘I love you. I don’t need to own you to love you. I can love you without expectations.’ The text was written with so much love and generosity that it made him rethink the divorce.
When Dan reached the lawyer’s office, he asked his wife, “Why are we getting a divorce?” She simply laughed, and then instead of signing the divorce papers, they went for lunch. In an interview with the BBC, Dan recalled the incident and said:
“It’s interesting that someone can alter your entire life in a sentence. If she hadn’t said that, we would have sat down and we would have signed those papers.”
Was infidelity the reason behind Dan Reynolds and Aja Volkman’s divorce?
After giving their marriage another chance, Dan and Aja welcomed their fourth child, son Valentine. He proposed again, and the couple got engaged a second time. However, their relationship couldn’t stand the test of time, and in 2022, they announced their second separation after 11 years of marriage.
Within two months of announcing their separation, Dan began dating actress Minka Kelly. Soon, it was reported that infidelity was the reason behind Dan and Aja’s separation. Aja formally filed for divorce in April 2023, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ in court filings. While news outlets blamed Dan for their divorce, Aja stated that their split was not due to infidelity or anger. She rather described it as a painful, mutual life transition.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Dan addressed his painful divorce from Aja and praised her. Speaking about the same, he said:
“Divorce is really hard, especially when you really care about the person. I think because our marriage didn’t end because of infidelity or things like that, we’ve been able to communicate through the whole process. There’s never been a moment of anger between the two of us — just hurt.”
