MGK Makes Rare Comment on His and Megan Fox’s Baby Girl: ‘I’m Just So Elated’

MGK is loving being in dad mode.

While walking the red carpet at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas on Monday, May 26, the 35-year-old “Cliché” rapper (whose real name is Colson Baker) couldn’t help but gush over his baby girl, whom he shares with Megan Fox. 

“I’m just so elated,” he told Access Online about life with the newborn. “It’s just awesome.”

Machine Gun Kelly, who is also dad to daughter Casie, 15, shared one thing he adores about being a new father again. 

“They smell so good,” he said, motioning as if he were cradling a baby. “I was just meant to be a dad.”

In another red carpet interview, the “Wild Boy” rapper told E! News why he wouldn’t be at Monday night’s event for too long.

"She has a little bit of a fever, so I'm gonna just walk the carpet and go back, you know what I mean, and handle my business," he explained. "Give her my pheromones, and let her heal up."

MGK and Fox, 39, welcomed their baby girl on March 27.

The Transformers actress also shares Noah Shannon, 12, Bodhi Ransom, 11, and Journey River, 8, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green.

"She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed 🥹💓♈️♓️♊️," Kelly said of her arrival via Instagram.  

However, less than a week later, the Dirt actor made another announcement, clarifying that his newborn’s name was not “Celestial Seed.”

His post was in response to a woman on TikTok doing a breakdown of his and Fox’s baby announcement, confusing the warm welcome for sharing what the baby was named. 

“Wait guys… her name isn’t ‘Celestial Seed’ 🤣," MGK wrote over a screenshot of the TikTok video, which also showed him and the Jennifer’s Body actress together.

“Her mom is gonna tell you the name when we're ready,” he added.

Fox and MGK got engaged in January 2022. They called it quits in December 2024, just weeks after announcing that they were expecting a baby together.

Earlier this month, a source told PEOPLE exclusively that despite their breakup, the rapper is "committed to being present for their daughter," which is why he's been staying at the house "part-time."

"Megan and Colson are not back together," the insider told PEOPLE. "Their relationship remains focused strictly on coparenting their baby girl. While Colson does occasionally stay at Megan's house, it's only part-time and solely to spend time with the baby."

"They're committed to being present for their daughter, but they're not living together or romantically involved," the source said.
