Machine Gun Kelly Admits Megan Fox Is Parenting MVP After “Good Dad” Backlash
I’m Riley Carter, here to unpack Machine Gun Kelly’s recent on-air confession about co-parenting with Megan Fox. Another day, another viral moment: MGK revealed that Megan Fox wasn’t exactly thrilled when fans called him a “good dad” for merely holding their newborn daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker.
During his appearance on Today with Jenna and Friends, MGK recounted how a well-meaning compliment sparked a parenting debate at home. He laughed off the moment, admitting that Megan was quick to shut down praise directed only at him. According to the rocker, all he did was strum guitar riffs and cradle baby Saga, while Megan handled the bulk of nighttime feedings and diaper changes.
MGK and Fox welcomed Saga in March, marking Megan’s fourth child and his first. TMZ first reported the announcement, alongside MGK’s charming black-and-white snap of little Saga gripping his finger. Since their split last Thanksgiving, the two have maintained a drama-free co-parenting rhythm that fans have been eagerly dissecting.
Kelly’s self-aware confession shines a light on modern shared parenting—where social media applause doesn’t always match the real-world workload. He joked that being the “fun parent” comes easy with his guitar in hand, but Megan’s dedication behind the scenes makes her the household CEO. The casual admission has sparked discussion online about gender roles in parenting and what actually deserves a “good parent” shout-out.
On social media platforms like Instagram, fans rallied behind Megan, praising her tireless efforts and applauding her for keeping the family well-oiled. Some followers tagged comments from parenting forums to emphasize that physical presence doesn’t always equate to full parenting commitment.
This moment offers a peek into Kelly and Fox’s co-parenting setup without the typical celebrity drama. A source close to the duo told TMZ that the split was amicable, and both are focused on giving Saga the best possible upbringing. Machine Gun Kelly’s playful humility only underscores the partnership they’ve cultivated since announcing their separation.
Keeping things breezy, Kelly’s candor on live TV reinforced what fans already suspected: Megan Fox is the unsung hero of this power parenting team. As for MGK, he’ll stick to rocking out while Fox handles the less glamorous, but critical, day-to-day tasks.
Anyway, that’s how it went, in case you were watching your feed looking for some good dad drama. Stay tuned for more low-key celebrity parenting moments that still somehow go viral.
