During a January 30 episode of The Pete Davidson Show, comedian Pete Davidson playfully pointed out a physical trait shared by his longtime friend Machine Gun Kelly and Davidson’s 10-month-old daughter Saga Blade, whom he shares with Megan Fox. This moment of humor unfolded as the two bonded over a video of MGK interacting with his toddler, highlighting the lighthearted side of Pete Davidson family news.
MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, and Davidson share a close friendship that extends into their roles as new fathers, with Davidson welcoming his daughter Scottie Rose with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt just a month earlier. This episode offered a glimpse into their shared experiences navigating parenthood amid their busy careers.
Playful Comparisons Spark Laughter Between Pete Davidson and MGK
As MGK showed Davidson a video of himself with his daughter Saga, Davidson couldn’t resist a humorous observation:
“Dude, she has your 2014 hairline,”
he quipped. MGK responded with equal good humor, saying,
“Dude, f–k you. You know, I said that, too. I was like, ‘Is this gonna fill in?’”
This exchange reflected the comfortable friendship between the two entertainers, who are bonding over the new challenges and joys that fatherhood brings.
New Fathers Celebrate Milestones Together
Aside from jokes, MGK took a supportive tone as he congratulated Davidson on becoming a dad again recently.
“By the way, holding your baby girl just now was so awesome,”
MGK said.
“I’m so proud of you. It’s so cool.”
The conversation revealed their mutual respect and encouragement as they take on parenthood, sharing not only family news but also parenting insights.
MGK Shares Parenting Wisdom from The Conscious Parent
Machine Gun Kelly also discussed the parenting philosophy that has guided him, crediting the book The Conscious Parent by Shefali Tsabury as a significant influence. He explained,
“I read this book called The Conscious Parent [by Shefali Tsabury], and in it, it was just this simple statement of, ‘Let go of control and just be your child’s biggest cheerleader.’”
He elaborated on the metaphor the book uses:
“They’re on a sailboat. They’re the captain of their own ship. I can try and play God with the ship’s course, but the waves and the wind are gonna take the ship where it’s gonna take the ship—no matter what.”
MGK emphasized his role not as a controller but as a supporter who ensures his children have a strong foundation to navigate life’s challenges.
Continuing his reflection, MGK said,
“All I can do as a father is go, ‘Okay, I’m not the captain of her ship, but I can do my best to give it the ultimate maintenance so that no matter where that ship is going, she’s solid,’ and also, to encourage her not to look back [or] forward too much at where the destination is, because you’ll miss the dolphins. If you’re only looking forward, you’ll miss the memories.”
These words illustrate his thoughtful approach to parenting amidst the uncertainties of life.
Family Moments: Behind the Scenes of Blended Lives
Beyond MGK and Pete Davidson’s friendship, their relationships and families reveal layers of complexity and togetherness. Brian Austin Green, Megan Fox’s ex, maintains a close connection with their three children — Noah (born 2012), Bodhi (born 2014), and Journey (born 2016) — and enjoys relaxed family moments such as lazy mornings spent together.
After Brian and Megan split in 2020, Brian found love with Dancing with the Stars pro Sharna Burgess. Together they welcomed their son Zane in 2022 and announced their engagement in 2023. Sharna cherishes her blended family experience, embracing motherhood with gratitude. She shared,
“I got to test out motherhood with these guys,”
referring to Brian’s children,
“I got to learn things and grow with them, about parenting and understanding kids … and knowing, ‘Oh my God, I think I can be really good at that.’”
Challenges and Commitments in Co-Parenting
Megan Fox remains committed to co-parenting despite the difficulties it entails. She admitted in 2022,
“It’s hard to not feel obligated to be with them all the time or to constantly feel like I’m not doing a good enough job, but I’m also separated from their father. So, I can only have them half of the time. That just is what it is.”
This candid admission underscores the balancing act she maintains between personal and parental responsibilities.
Brian Austin Green has his own approach to effective co-parenting. He told E! News in 2024,
“People make a mistake of thinking that they’re gonna do things so the separation doesn’t affect the kids. Of course it’s gonna affect the kids. The only choice you have is how it affects the kids.”
This philosophy guides his interactions to maintain harmony for his children’s sake.
Similarly, Megan strives to shield her children from negativity about their father. On The Drew Barrymore Show in 2023, she explained,
“I don’t let anything in my energy like that when I’m around my kids, because if I don’t accept and love their father, I’m rejecting a part of them, because he’s a part of who they are always.”
A Glimpse Into Megan’s Perspective on Motherhood and Privacy
Motherhood profoundly grounds Megan Fox, who described her connection to her children as deeply present. In an interview with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2023, she said,
“When I step back, I know how connected I am and I’ve always been and how present I’ve always been. I see the reflection of the type of mother that I am in their eyes and in their behavior.”
She also prioritizes protecting her children’s innocence, especially from social media exposure. In 2022, Megan shared with Glamour UK,
“I knew when they were very young, I wanted to try to protect them however I could, especially limiting their exposure to the internet. So far, we’ve done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can’t protect them forever.”
Celebrating Family Milestones and Daily Joys
Brian Austin Green’s blended family, which includes his adult son Kassius with ex Vanessa Marcil, captured a festive holiday moment in December 2023. The actor posed with fiancée Sharna Burgess and all five children in a joyful family photo, demonstrating the evolving dynamics of their household.
Brian shares many moments of togetherness with his kids, such as a sunny day spent enjoying the pool in Malibu alongside Noah, Bodhi, Journey, and Zane, which he captioned “Great day!!” on social media. These casual snapshots highlight the balance of public and private life the family navigates.
MGK’s Renewal Through Fatherhood and Sobriety
Machine Gun Kelly credits his daughter Casie with playing a pivotal role in his sobriety journey. On the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, he said,
“That was step one for me. As a father and as a man, to be the father I wish my dad would have been, I have to break this generational curse for my kid.”
MGK has been sober since August 2023, illustrating how fatherhood inspires his personal growth.
His devotion as a “girl dad” is also evident in his ongoing bond with Casie, whom he welcomed with ex Emma Cannon in 2009. MGK’s connection to his children remains a core part of his life amid his rising music career and engagement to Megan Fox.
Musical Influence and Family Collaboration
Apart from parenting, MGK values his daughter’s input on his creative work. In a 2021 interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, he remarked,
“I trust her opinion more than I trust my own now. Like, she has her finger on the pulse of what’s hot, or if I’m doing a song and it’s the right one, she’ll confirm it.”
This highlights their unique dynamic as parent and child influencing each other’s worlds.
In March 2025, Megan Fox and MGK welcomed another addition to their blended family: a baby girl accompanied by an original musical score created by the rocker and collaborators, including Travis Barker. MGK joyfully announced her arrival on Instagram, calling her “our little celestial seed.”
Looking Ahead: What Parenthood Means for These Families
As Pete Davidson, Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox, and their extended families continue to adapt to evolving roles, they exemplify resilience amid the anxieties and responsibilities of parenthood. Their shared experiences—from playful teasing about hairlines to profound insights on being present and supportive—reflect a collective journey marked by hope and dedication.
The blending of families, the balancing of celebrity and private life, and the focus on nurturing children’s independence and happiness suggest a path forward defined by connection and understanding. With new arrivals, ongoing commitments to co-parenting, and personal growth inspired by fatherhood and motherhood, these stars continue to write new chapters in their family narratives.
