Inside Machine Gun Kelly’s Dad Life Since Split From Megan Fox

Once Kardashian and Barker got together in 2021, they made for a loved-up foursome on occasional double dates with Fox and MGK, who were mostly on for the better part of four years before breaking up (for good) in December 2024.

MGK is at least tight as ever with Barker, the pair even collaborating on music that would be the first his newborn heard upon arrival. “We composed the score of the birth,” MGK shared afterward. “What an epic journey. Praise God.”

Two weeks after Fox’s Nov. 11 pregnancy announcement and 15 days before news of their breakup surfaced, MGK shared he had embarked on a different sort of journey to clear his head. The goal was to get his seventh studio album done, finally, after scrapping what he’d been working on for the second time.

“Isolating myself in the desert next week to restart this album from scratch,” he posted to X Nov. 25. “When inspiration flows through me unblocked, we will reach the destination in no time. don’t worry…After all, im about to be a dad again!”

MGK continued to lean into that spiritual life as he and Fox awaited the birth. On Feb. 3, 2025, he shared a photo showing his journal and a copy of Paulo Coelho‘s 1988 allegory The Alchemist, which he was reading “for the 4th time.” 

A couple weeks later, church was “right on time” for MGK, who shared a shot of the pulpit and a screen with the projected message: “Your past is not your purpose—your priority is ahead of you.”

But MGK is no stranger to self-reflection and doing the work.

“Mentally, for me, seven years ago I was on cocaine and any drug you could imagine. And that isn’t the case anymore,” he said on an August 2024 episode of Logan Paul‘s Impaulsive podcast. “So when you say, like, I come across [as] grounded, that’s a new revelation for me and a new version of myself I just met.”

By then, Fox had played his pregnant significant other in the music video for his song “Lonely Road,” and Paul asked MGK if she really was expecting.

“I like to leave a lot of stuff up to interpretation and there’s a reason behind every single thing that happened in that music video,” MGK said. “Some part of me is like, leave art up to interpretation, I guess that’s where I’ll leave it. But everything has a meaning.”

Seven months after that episode dropped, MGK announced his daughter’s arrival.

“She’s finally here!!” MGK captioned a March 27 video of their daughter’s teeny-tiny hand clutching his thumb. “our little celestial seed.” (Naturally, people then wondered if they had named her “Celestial Seed,” which he swiftly debunked, advising that Fox would share the baby’s name when she was ready.)

Despite having no qualms about discussing her intense feelings for MGK during the earlier days of their relationship, Fox—who shared in 2023 that she had suffered a pregnancy loss with him—has since changed her approach.

Not least because explaining what was going on with them at every twist and turn along the way just got too complicated.

“I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption,” she said on a March 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy. “So I think as of now, I don’t have a comment on, like, the status of the relationship. What I can say is, that is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul,’ and there will always be a tether to him no matter what.”
