Machine Gun Kelly Details Co-Parenting With “Greatest” Person Megan Fox
Machine Gun Kelly is clearly obsessed with his emo girl.
The “Lonely Road” singer shared a sweet snap of daughter Saga Blade, whom he shares with ex Megan Fox.
Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker) posted the photo of Saga to his Instagram Sept. 25 as he celebrated the re-release of his 2020 album Tickets to My Downfall. In the picture, the 5-month-old can be seen sitting in a pink baby chair and holding onto a stuffed animal while sporting a white onesie featuring a pink guitar on it. MGK placed a white heart over Saga’s face to maintain her privacy.
And although MGK and Megan split in December, the 35-year-old—who is also dad to Casie Colson Baker, 16, with ex Emma Cannon—is making sure Saga feels the love from both parents, recently sharing how he and Megan have been doing in the coparenting department.
“It truly was an epic story of love, pain and a lot of magic,” he shared on The Jennifer Hudson Show Sept. 18. “I had it with a person who is the greatest partner, the greatest partner to have had a child with.”
The “Vampire Diaries” singer gushed that Megan—who shares kids Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11 and Journey, 9, with ex Brian Austin Green—is a “phenomenal mom” and there’s only been one topic the duo have disagreed on.
“We go back and forth on who she looks like,” MGK joked. “Last month, she looked exactly like me and now she looks exactly like her.”

And while they may disagree there, there’s no doubt in Machine Gun Kelly’s mind who deserves all the praise when it comes to Saga.
“I want to detract all of the congrats to me and just move it to Megan because she really does all the work,” he emphasized during an appearance on Today in August. “She’s the one. I just play the guitar and pray that the baby is happy.”
As he explained, he’s seen firsthand the differences in the reactions to him as a father versus Megan as a mother.

“Someone the other day was like, ‘You’re such a good dad!’ just because I was holding the baby,” he recalled. “And she was fuming. Like, ‘No, no, no, no.’”
But regardless of any issues the former couple might encounter, they’re in agreement about how “awesome” it has been to welcome Saga into their lives.
