Machine Gun Kelly is embracing fatherhood with pride, joy, and emotion. The 35-year-old rapper made a heartfelt appearance on the red carpet at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas, where he shared touching words about his newborn daughter with ex-partner Megan Fox.

“I’m just happy. It’s amazing,” MGK told Access Online, smiling as he added, “They have the most amazing smell… I was born to be a dad.”
The rapper, known for his edgy image and rockstar persona, showed a softer side as he gushed over the new addition to his family. In a separate interview with E! News, he revealed he wouldn’t be staying long at the awards show.
“My daughter has a little fever, so I’m just walking the carpet and heading straight home,” he said. “I need to give her my pheromones and help her heal.”
MGK and actress Megan Fox welcomed their baby girl on March 27, 2025. While the couple is no longer romantically together, they continue to co-parent their daughter. Fox is also mother to three sons from her previous marriage to actor Brian Austin Green.
Fans have applauded MGK for his hands-on and devoted approach to parenting, proving once again that behind the tattoos and stage persona lies a father full of love and care.
