By Stig Editor Dan Reynolds Announces Reconciliation with Wife Aja Volkman: “We Found Our Way Back
June 18, 2025
In a surprise announcement that has warmed the hearts of fans around the world, Dan Reynolds, frontman of the Grammy-winning band Imagine Dragons, has confirmed that he and his wife Aja Volkman are officially back together.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday morning, Reynolds posted a candid black-and-white photo of himself and Aja holding hands on a quiet beach, along with the simple but powerful caption:
“Love is messy. Life is complicated. But sometimes… you find your way back. Aja and I are together again. One day at a time, with love.”
The couple, who share four children, have had a public and emotional history, separating in 2018 and again in 2022 after a brief reconciliation. Despite their ups and downs, they remained committed co-parents, often praising each other’s roles in their children’s lives.
Now, it appears that time, healing, and honest conversations have led to a new chapter in their relationship.
In an exclusive statement to People, Reynolds elaborated:
“We went through some incredibly painful moments, and for a long time, I thought it was over for good. But we kept talking. We kept showing up for our kids. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we started seeing each other again — not just as parents, but as people who still care deeply.”
Aja Volkman, a musician and frontwoman of the band Nico Vega, also shared her thoughts in her own post:
“We’ve been through the fire — and yes, there were times we thought we’d never make it back. But love has a strange way of surviving. Dan and I are learning how to love each other again — this time, more honestly, more gently.”
The reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing joy at the couple’s reunion. One fan commented, “They are proof that healing is possible when both hearts are open.”
Friends and fellow musicians also chimed in with support. Imagine Dragons guitarist Wayne Sermon commented, “Love wins. Always rooting for you two.” Singer Halsey shared, “This made my day. Real love takes work and bravery.”
While Reynolds made it clear that their reconciliation doesn’t mean everything is perfect, he said the commitment to keep growing together is stronger than ever.
“We’re not pretending we’re flawless or that this is a fairytale,” he said. “But we’ve chosen to keep loving each other — even through the hard stuff.”
As Imagine Dragons continues to tour and work on their next studio album, fans can expect Reynolds’ lyrics to reflect this latest chapter — one of redemption, reconciliation, and renewed hope.
For now, the message is simple, and it resonates deeply:
Love may bend, but it doesn’t always break.
