MGK’s Heartwarming Fatherhood Moments: From Sneakers to Dream Cars
Elena West here, your guide to the extraordinary, the inspiring, and the unexpectedly beautiful moments in life. Today, we’re diving into a story that’s not just about celebrity—it’s about legacy, love, and living with intention. And trust me, you’re going to want to lean in for this one.
Machine Gun Kelly—yes, the same high-energy, inked-up rockstar known for his wild performances—is quietly redefining what it means to be a modern father. In a recent episode of Sneaker Shopping with Complex, the rapper—real name Colson Baker—showed off a softer side while picking up not one, but two pairs of baby sneakers for his and Megan Fox’s 4-month-old daughter, Saga Blade. Holding up the miniature Nike and Adidas shoes, he gushed, “They look like little mini muffins. My baby’s gonna be so cute.”
But here’s where it gets even more interesting: MGK isn’t just playing dress-up dad. He’s deeply aware of the legacy he’s building. When asked if Saga might follow in his musical footsteps, he laughed and said she’s more likely to follow her big sister Casie’s fashion-forward path. “My oldest daughter is a big sneaker head. It must have just skipped my generation and went to her.” Casie, 16, whom he shares with ex Emma Cannon, recently celebrated her sweet 16 with a dream gift—a sleek black Acura, complete with a red bow matching the car’s interior. The moment she leapt into his arms, MGK switched into full dad mode, reminding her with a grin: “What’s the number one rule?” Casie replied instantly: “Don’t drive like your dad.”
And while the spotlight often shines on MGK’s parenting wins, he’s quick to redirect the praise. During a recent appearance on the Today show, he shared a telling moment: “Someone the other day was like, ‘You’re such a good dad!’ just because I was holding the baby. And Megan was fuming, like, ‘No, no, no, no.’” He went on to clarify, “I want to detract all of the congrats to me and just move it to Megan because she really does all the work. She’s the one. I just play the guitar and pray that the baby is happy.”
That humility is rare—and powerful. Megan Fox, who has spoken openly about the challenges of co-parenting after splitting from Brian Austin Green in 2020, echoed this sentiment in a 2022 interview with Glamour UK, admitting, “It’s hard to not feel obligated to be with them all the time or to constantly feel like I’m not doing a good enough job.” But she also finds grounding in motherhood, telling Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2023, “When I step back, I know how connected I am and I’ve always been and how present I’ve always been. I see the reflection of the type of mother that I am in their eyes and in their behavior.”
Brian Austin Green, father to three children with Megan—Noah (2012), Bodhi (2014), and Journey (2016)—has also embraced a new chapter in his life. Since welcoming son Zane with fiancée Sharna Burgess in 2022, he’s been seen enjoying cozy family moments with his full brood, including Kassius, 22, from a previous relationship. The blended family even posed for a festive holiday photo in December 2023, a testament to resilience and love beyond romantic timelines.
For MGK, fatherhood isn’t just a role—it’s a calling. He’s even joked about being called “The Music Teacher” by his daughters, a nod to how he’s weaving creativity into their lives. In a rare photo shared in 2022, he was seen with Megan and Casie at his 27 Club Coffee shop in Ohio, a glimpse into the life he’s building—one where music, family, and authenticity reign supreme.
So what can we learn from all this? That greatness isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s found in a quiet moment at a shoe store, in a car wrapped with a bow, or in a simple acknowledgment of the real work behind the scenes. And if that doesn’t inspire you to be better, to do better, and to show up—then I don’t know what will.
Now take what you’ve learned and make something great happen!
