Machine Gun Kelly, the boundary-pushing musician and actor born Colson Baker, is making headlines once again—this time for heartwarming reasons that go beyond his chart-topping music and headline-grabbing relationships. In June 2025, MGK and his eldest daughter, Casie, stepped onto the orange carpet at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, marking a rare and memorable father-daughter moment that has captivated fans and media alike.
This appearance, alongside recent updates about his new role as a father to baby Saga Blade Fox-Baker with ex-fiancée Megan Fox, has put the spotlight firmly on MGK’s evolving family life and his commitment to fatherhood.
The Red Carpet Reunion
On June 21, 2025, Machine Gun Kelly and his 15-year-old daughter, Casie Baker, reunited for a rare red carpet appearance at the Kids’ Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California. The event, known for its playful and family-friendly atmosphere, was the perfect setting for the father-daughter duo to share the spotlight. MGK, ever the style icon, opted for a sleek all-black romper paired with matching boots and a silver necklace, while Casie stole the show in a flowing lavender mini dress and sparkling silver pumps. Their coordinated yet distinct looks reflected both their close bond and their individual personalities.
Casie, the daughter of MGK and his former partner Emma Cannon, has become a familiar face at her father’s side, though public appearances together remain special occasions. “We love a multi-genre king,” Casie quipped during the event, a nod to her father’s ability to move seamlessly between rap, rock, and pop. The duo’s playful energy was palpable, with MGK flashing peace signs and Casie making funny faces for the cameras—moments that were later shared on social media and quickly went viral.
Fatherhood in the Spotlight
Machine Gun Kelly’s appearance with Casie was more than just a red carpet moment—it was a celebration of family. In recent interviews, both MGK and Casie have spoken candidly about their relationship. Casie described her dad as a “hype man” and a source of constant encouragement. “He definitely gives a lot of advice. He’s more like a hype man, though,” she told People magazine. MGK, for his part, agreed, saying, “Yeah, I’m a cheerleader.” He emphasized the importance of supporting Casie in embracing her true self, a sentiment that resonated with fans who admire MGK’s openness about his own struggles and triumphs.
This focus on family comes at a pivotal time for MGK, who in March 2025 welcomed his second daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, with actress Megan Fox. The arrival of Saga marks a new chapter for both parents, who have remained tight-lipped about the current status of their relationship but have been vocal about their commitment to co-parenting. “Megan is an incredible mother,” MGK said during a recent interview on Today. “She’s doing an amazing job. I couldn’t be more thrilled.”
The name Saga Blade Fox-Baker is rich with meaning. MGK explained that “Saga” reflects both an epic narrative and his Norwegian heritage, as Saga is the Nordic goddess of storytelling. The middle name “Blade” was inspired by MGK’s own wishes for a cool middle name, a choice that Megan Fox had playfully predicted in a 2021 GQ Couples Quiz. “Coming back and forth—she embodies an epic narrative,” MGK said of his newborn daughter. “That’s the essence of Saga. I believe she has a future filled with storytelling ahead of her.”
Life as a Big Sister
For Casie, becoming an older sister has been a joyful and transformative experience. “It’s really just so cute,” she said of her baby sister. “I love her so much. It’s so cute. It’s like, different, you know?” MGK, meanwhile, has embraced his role as a father to two daughters, sharing glimpses of his life at home, including a charming video of himself playing the ukulele for Saga—a lullaby he wrote just for her.
MGK has also been open about the challenges of parenthood, particularly in the early days with a newborn. “Megan is in the no sleep club, for sure,” he joked. “I’ve been traveling a little bit, just doing some performances. So on those nights, I for sure, just hit the snooze button a million times and I’m catching up on all this.” Despite the sleepless nights, MGK is determined to bring laughter and music into his daughters’ lives, ensuring that they are introduced to the world with love and positivity.
Music, Motherhood, and Moving Forward
While MGK’s personal life has been making headlines, his music career continues to thrive. At the Kids’ Choice Awards, he performed “Cliché,” the lead single from his forthcoming album Lost Americana, set for release on August 8, 2025. The song, which blends pop and pop-punk influences, has been met with mixed reactions from fans, but its chart performance—peaking at No. 10 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100—demonstrates MGK’s enduring appeal.
Casie, who introduced her father’s performance at the awards show, has become one of his biggest supporters. “I think it’s so, so good,” she said of his new album. “I believe everyone will enjoy it. It feels unique yet retains that familiar essence. It offers a variety of experiences.” MGK echoed her enthusiasm, saying, “Yeah, we jam to it in the car. It’s perfect for rolling down the windows and turning up the volume.”
The Power of Family and Resilience
Machine Gun Kelly’s recent appearances and interviews highlight a man who is deeply committed to his family, both old and new. His relationship with Casie is built on mutual respect, support, and a shared sense of humor. His journey into fatherhood with Megan Fox, while complicated by the public nature of their lives, is marked by a shared dedication to their children and a willingness to face challenges together.
Megan Fox, who has three children from her previous marriage to Brian Austin Green, has spoken about the joy and surprise of welcoming Saga after a previous miscarriage in 2023. “Nothing is ever truly lost,” she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post announcing her pregnancy. “Welcome back.” This sentiment of resilience and renewal is echoed in MGK’s own reflections on fatherhood and family.
Looking Ahead
As Machine Gun Kelly prepares to release Lost Americana and continues to navigate the complexities of co-parenting and public life, one thing is clear: family is at the heart of everything he does. Whether he’s performing on stage, walking the red carpet with his daughter, or playing the ukulele for his newborn, MGK is determined to lead with love, laughter, and authenticity.
His story is a reminder that, even in the fast-paced world of celebrity, the most meaningful moments are often the quiet ones—shared with the people who matter most. For Machine Gun Kelly, that means being a “hype man,” a cheerleader, and, above all, a dad.
