Worried Machine Gun Kelly leaves AMA early to be with ill baby in rare update
Machine Gun Kelly ditched the American Music Awards early to be with Megan Fox and their newborn baby girl as she struggled with a 'little bit of a fever'.
The musician, 34, and the Transformers actress, 38, welcomed a baby girl in March, following reports of their split last year.
In a rare update, MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, told reporters that he was going to walk the carpet and quickly head off to be with his family, before sweetly stating that it was his 'purpose' to be a dad.
Speaking to E News on the red carpet, the Bloody Valentine singer said: 'She has a little bit of a fever, so I'm gonna walk the carpet and go back, yanno, handle my business, give her my pheromones and let her heal up'.
He added: 'I was born to be a dad, it's my purpose.'
Giving a further rare insight into his life as a dad to a newborn, Kelly told Access Hollywood reporters: 'When Pete was texting me one night, he was making me laugh so hard and it woke my baby up, and waking a newborn up is just not the vibe'.
When asked what life is like with a newborn, MGK said: 'It's just so elated, it's just awesome, they smell so good, yanno, I was just meant to be a dad.'
Speaking about his first daughter, Casie Colson Baker, who he shares with his ex Emma Cannon, MGK said: 'She's a great big sister yeah, she's able to calm her down. She just worked her first job. I'm a very proud dad, a lot of good things happening with my kids'.
MGK proudly announced the arrival of his daughter in March and shared an adorable video of their daughter alongside a heartfelt song to share the big news. He wrote: "She's finally here! ! Our little Celestial Seed. 3/27/25."
MGK and Megan met for the first time on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass, the 2021 crime thriller film.
Rumours started that they were dating before they went public with their romance in 2020, and got engaged in 2022. In November last year, Hollywood star Megan announced that she was expecting.
Megan shares three children, Noah Shannon, 12, Bodhi Ransom, 10, and Journey River, eight, with Brian Austin Green. They tied the knot in 2010 but split in 2020.

The hit Netflix show sees a group of singletons heading into their own secluded pods in the hopes of finding their perfect life partner. After dating without ever laying eyes on one another, they decide to get engaged after forming a strong connection. It is only then do they meet face to face. The first four episodes have dropped on the streaming platform today, August 13, with fans having to wait until next week for the next batch of episodes. But already, new couples have been formed as they jet off on their first holiday where they will live together and meet the others. This season, Netflix viewers can expect plenty of twists, turns and messy love triangles. But who are the couples formed? Ashleigh and Billy Ashleigh and Billy were the first couple to get engaged and take their relationship to the next step. Despite some initial concerns over her job as cabin crew manager, Billy, who is an army physical trainer from Northern Ireland, decided to pop the question. After admitting he had dated cabin crew before and it "fizzled out" due to the scheduling conflicts, Ashleigh confessed she would change her job to suit her family life if needed. It wasn't long before the two met face to face and even declared their love for one another. Megan and Kieran Kieran found himself in a dramatic love triangle as he expressed interest in both Megan and Sophie. Gaming engineer Kieran decided to gift dancer and fitness instructor Megan a heartwarming gift from Japan, sprayed with his scent. But news gets back to Sophie and she was unimpressed, bringing up his actions before storming off from the show in tears. Kieran, admitting he had a strong connection with Megan, soon proposed.

Medical company owner Sarover grew up in a modern Indian family and has never dated outside of her ethnic background. Growing up she believed a boyfriend should be the one you intended to marry, but hoped to find love in the experiment. Soon, Kal came along. Gym owner Kal is half-Pakistani and they were concerned how their families would react to their differing backgrounds. Admitting their love for one another, doubts soon start to creep in for Sarover who admits she is not Kal's usual type. Bardha and Jed Bardha had been engaged to be married when she found messages to another girl on her ex-fiancé's phone. With dreams of her mother, who has battled cancer, walking her down the aisle, Bardha found a connection with configuration manager Jed as they bonded over their shared values. Having been single for a year, Jed appears to be utterly taken for Bardha as he too holds traditional values when it comes to romance. But will their family introductions go to plan? Katisha and Javen Katisha came under fire with other cast members after a last minute decision saw her choosing health coach Javen. Despite admitting a stronger connection with Demola, who was ready to propose, 31-year-old nanny Katisha, from Scotland, was set to call things off with Javen. Katisha has been single for six years and, after starting to feel unlucky in love, is ready to connect with 'the right type of men' in order to find a future husband. Despite being confused over who to pick, then learning more towards Demola, her decision left one contestant 'blindsided' in episode four, which is aptly titled 'She Changed Her Mind Overnight'. An overnight change in plans saw Katisha going back on her decision and instead choosing Javen as her partner. But it appears Demola will return in preview clips for next week. What's next? Preview clips saw drama and turmoil for the upcoming episodes as returning cast members return and family introductions are made. But not everything goes as smoothly as hoped. Episodes five to eight will be released on Netflix on August 20, with the final two episodes available on August 27.

No one is allowed to see their future spouse until after they become engaged. In the opening four episodes released today, things were already getting emotional, with several contestants being reduced to tears during their time in the pods. One particularly heartbreaking moment came in episode 2, when 28-year-old dancer Megan broke down in tears. In a vulnerable moment, she opened up to potential flame Kieran about her atypical family structure, explaining that her mum had endured a difficult time in the dating world and that her biological father has never been a part of her life. Speaking about her absent father, Megan explained: 'My mum and him broke up when I was born. I would see him once a week and then when I was about five or six I had zero contact with him whatsoever.' She then went on to reveal that when she was working at a pub in Brighton at the age of 17, her father had come in with another woman and didn't acknowledge her. 'I went back for my shift the next weekend and he had come back and left me a card… And the card was just nothing.' Gaming entrepreneur Kieran, who is also a potential match for senior commercial manager Sophie in the pods, was visibly moved by Megan's admission about her family life. Megan continued: 'My mum's relationships have definitely impacted how I open up to men and how I let people in and be fully vulnerable, because I didn't really see a loving, happy relationship growing up.' The contestant then broke down in tears, continuing: 'I just know my mum is amazing and has so much potential and love to give and she has just never ever had the right person and has never been treated right and I would just never want to be like that. 'I just hate that my mum's been through all of that,' she added shakily, as Kieran responded: 'Your mum sounds like an amazing person.' 'Yeah she is,' Megan replied, as he continued: 'I can't necessarily say the same for the men that have been in [your life].' Megan then said through her tears she had 'so much faith' that she could have a 'fairytale ending' coming out of the process. Kieran reassured her: 'You deserve to have high standards, Meg. You deserve to get what you want from your life and I feel like I understand you even better, so I'm grateful for that.' Will Kieran choose to continue his journey with Megan or will he pursue his connection with Sophie? Keep watching to find out.

Rapper makes truly bizarre claim about believing he could be part alien
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Rapper Machine Gun Kelly has claimed that he thinks he might be part alien in a bonkers admission during a chat show. The 35-year-old rapper, real name Colson Baker, isn't afraid of a quirky confession or two, recently admitting that he doesn't really eat and just drinks lots of water, bone broth, and a little kimchi. The Bad Things rapper – who welcomed a little girl with ex-partner Megan Fox just a few months ago– has now made another outlandish claim as he discussed his age and parentage. During a Sunday night appearance on Andy Cohen's Bravo talk show Watch What Happens Live, he was speaking about his 16-year-old daughter. Seemingly surprised that he has a daughter who was a teenager, Andy asked how old MGK is. 'It's a weird thing, dude, I don't know if my age… I don't know if it exists,' he said, only further confusing the host. Andy asked: 'You have a Mariah Carey connection to your age? It's very fluid?' making a reference to Mariah's admitted refusal to acknowledge the passing of time. 'I don't know many facts about my life, so I don't know,' MGK said. 'I'm starting to be like, if my skin rips open, it heals really quick. I'm starting to be like, 'Who's my dad?'' Andy asked: 'Do you think you could be otherworldly?' 'I asked my mom, 'Is there any period of time you went missing? A tall, slender creature?'' Kelly replied. 'She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point.' 'So there may be something to this?' asked Andy. 'No, there really is!' he said. 'I'm bad at talking, I shouldn't have come on a talk show.' Kelly's parents were both Christian missionaries when he was a child, leading him to move around a lot. His mother left home when he was nine years old, and he and his father moved to Denver soon after. He experienced poverty growing up with his father facing depression and unemployment. MGK shares a 16-year-old daughter named Casie with his ex Emma Cannon. The pair got together as teenagers, with Casie being born when Kelly was just 19. For any fans confused about his age, the rapper was born in 1990, and has a large tattoo that reads 'Est 1990' emblazoned on his chest in case he ever forgets. Kelly has two children, another daughter named Saga Blade Fox-Baker with Megan Fox. The couple announced their engagement last January, but then called things off by December, just weeks after announcing they were expecting a child together. More Trending An insider previously told People Magazine that they are focused on co-parenting their little girl together. 'Whatever issues they have, Megan and MGK both are on the same page when it comes to co-parenting,' the source said. 'Right now they're amicable.' 'No one would be surprised if they gave their relationship another try down the line,' they added. View More » 'But right now they're focused on what's best for their daughter.' Got a story?
