Is it possible to have an object with a strong gravitational field pull and be pushed from an object with a strong magnetic field.?

I was thinking about how a spaceship could work in the real world, and I came up with this question. I was wondering if it is possible to have an object with a strong gravitational field in front of an object with a strong magnetic field. The gravitational field of the (what I am assuming larger) object would pull the (smaller) object while it would push with its magnetic field. I would like to imagine them slinking across space.

    That is what happens in mag-rail, where supper conducting dia-magnets levitate the train against the earth's gravitational field.
