Megan Fox was ‘fuming’ over Machine Gun Kelly being called a good dad

Don’t call Machine Gun Kelly a good dad in front of Megan Fox for doing the bare minimum. The singer recently shared a hilarious story about fatherhood, rightfully giving all the credit to the Transformers star when it comes to their daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker.

MGK’s dropping his new album Lost Americana on Friday and has been on a press tour sharing details about the body of work and his personal life. He stopped by TODAY with Jenna & Friends, and before getting to business, one of the first things he wanted to do was praise the mother of his child. 

“I want to detract any of the congrats to me, and just move it to Megan, because she really does all the work,” he told the hosts. “I keep getting called like the music teacher,” he said, seemingly referring to Fox’s nickname for him. 

“Someone the other day was like ‘you’re such a good dad’  just because I was like holding the baby or something like that, and so she was fuming like ‘yo dude, no. No, no,” MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, recalled. “She is the one,” he insisted. “I just play the guitar and hope and pray that the baby is happy.”

It’s not the first time MGK has experienced fatherhood. He has a 16-year-old daughter, Casie, whom he shares with his ex Emma Cannon. They revealed that while she has to wait until September, she will be getting her driver’s license before he does. 

He has no interest in getting his either, “I think it will be a double standard situation where I will be like Hey, I paid for your childhood, so now you will know chauffeur me around.”

It’s no secret that MGK and Fox have had a rocky relationship, even calling off their engagement while she was pregnant after she discovered text messages on his phone with other women.  

But last month, they were spotted on a family vacation to Costa Rica, leaving people wondering what’s going on between them. According to a US Weekly insider,” they aren’t putting a label on anything. “Things feel back to ‘normal’ between them, but they are not putting a label on their relationship,” a source told the outlet. 

A second insider told the outlet, “They’re still being intimate and technically trying to work things out to reconcile,” adding. “This trip is a big stepping stone in that direction.”

The on-and-off-again couple welcomed their daughter Saga on March 27. Fox had previously experienced a miscarriage when they were together in 2023. He revealed the meaning behind the name, saying, “The five years of her culmination of coming, disappearing, coming back again, disappearing, coming back again – she is an epic story, and that’s what Saga means,” he said.
