MGK opens up about 'phenomenal mom' Megan Fox, co-parenting daughter Saga

Machine Gun Kelly is loving co-parenting with Megan Fox.

MGK opened up about raising daughter Saga during a Thursday, Sept. 18, appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show." The 35-year-old rapper called Fox "the greatest partner to have had a child with" and "such a phenomenal mom."

"We go back and forth on who she looks like. Like last month, she looked exactly like me. And now she looks exactly like her," the "Cliché" rapper told Hudson.

Fox, 39, gave birth to the couple's daughter in March. The couple had been dating since 2020 and announced their engagement in 2022, but split around 2024. In an interview on "Call Her Daddy" that year, Fox confirmed that the pair had ended their engagement, though at the time she wouldn't go into detail about their current relationship status.

This marks Fox's fourth child after having three children with actor and "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Brian Austin Green − Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9. Kelly shares daughter Casie, 16, with his ex Emma Cannon.

In June, the former couple announced their daughter's name, Saga Blade.

"My ancestors and my family is Norwegian, and there's a Norwegian goddess named Saga, and it means 'epic story,'" he told Hudson regarding the name's origin. "And so we named her Saga because to get her on this earth through highs and lows, it truly was an epic story of love, pain, and a lot of magic."

In 2023, Fox revealed the couple suffered a pregnancy loss, saying the miscarriage resulted in "a very wild journey together."

Kelly also talked about his other daughter, Casie, and how he recently bought her a new car for her 16th birthday, despite neither he nor his daughter having a license. He joked that he feels something "fishy" is going on because she keeps putting off getting the permit.

"I don't know. It seems like a bunch of cap, but I also have no license, so who am I to (judge)," he said.

MGK dances down Jennifer Hudson spirit tunnel to Third Eye Blind remix

The Cleveland native also participated in the "Jennifer Hudson Show" tradition of dancing down the spirit tunnel, giving old school moves to the crew's remix of Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Life."

The rapper has been on a 2000s pop-punk wave as of late, including his May single "Cliché," which takes inspiration from bands like Third Eye Blind.

The spirit tunnel, as the talk show has dubbed it, features crew members singing and clapping as guests on the show walk down a hallway to the set.
