Machine Gun Kelly Shares First Glimpse of His 8-Week-Old Baby
Here we go—another celebrity photo op dressed up as a “heartfelt moment.” Machine Gun Kelly, ever the reluctant dad paparazzo, dropped a rare Instagram snapshot of his 8-week-old baby, and yes, we all had to pause our lives to see it. The rocker-turned-parent posted the pic on July 7, capturing the tiny tot swaddled in soft pastels, with only a hint of cherubic cheeks peeking through. According to People Magazine, MGK’s caption read, “My world,” which, if you ask me, sounds like a contract clause more than a baby brag.
Look, I don’t want to be the one to break it to you, but this isn’t groundbreaking—celebs have been unveiling their newborns since ruthlessly marketed swaddles were invented. Still, fans went wild: The Hollywood Reporter noted the post racked up over two million likes within hours. Surprise, surprise. Meanwhile, E! News pointed out that Megan Fox quietly likes every single comment praising her brood, because who wouldn’t? Public records show the pair welcomed the little one in late May, yet neither parent let the paparazzi anywhere near the delivery room. I told you so—privacy? What’s that?
MGK kept it minimal, sharing just enough of the crib to confirm it’s not a bargain bin from last year’s clearance sale. He tagged @HouseofHighlights—because nothing says “artistic expression” like reposting your kid in someone else’s feed. Industry insiders tell People the couple is already discussing a baby clothing line, probably featuring distressed denim romper sets. You read it here first. Sources close to the singer say this might be the only baby snap until the next record drops, because you can’t have too much nostalgia when you’re selling an album.
If you’re keeping score, the proud papa also posted a Story of his baby’s tiny hand clutching his finger. Cue the collective swoon. The artistry, apparently, lies in the fact that the baby’s face is still off-camera—genius move for keeping tabloids in business. Entertainment Tonight quips that MGK’s next move could be a blackout poem crafted entirely from lullaby lyrics. And hey, if you believe every influencer’s blueprint, that’s the hottest trend for 2023.
Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
