Machine Gun Kelly's High-Speed Social Media Post Amid Co-Parenting Chapter with Megan Fox
Rapper and musician Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, caused a stir on Thursday by sharing a startling image from behind the wheel of a car. The blurred photo clearly showed the vehicle's speedometer reading 123 miles per hour, indicating the car was careening down the road at a dangerously high speed. The 35-year-old artist posted the picture to his Instagram account, where it was visible to his more than nine million followers.
Shortly after, Kelly uploaded a second update: a black-and-white selfie in which he appeared to be smoking what looked like either a joint or a hand-rolled cigarette. These social media posts arrive at a sensitive time, following recent confirmations about the status of his relationship with actress Megan Fox.
Romantic Chapter Closed, Co-Parenting Priority Established
According to sources speaking to People magazine on Friday, Kelly and Fox are romantically "done" and have been for some time. The insider stated clearly: "[They] haven’t been together in a real way for a long time now and whatever they had romantically is done." Instead, the former couple's current relationship is described as purely platonic, focused entirely on raising their baby daughter, Saga Blade, who was born in March of last year.
The pair, who got engaged in 2022, broke up in November 2024 after Fox, then pregnant, allegedly discovered Kelly had been communicating with other women behind her back. Despite occasional rumors of reconciliation, the latest reports emphasize that their dynamic is now strictly about co-parenting. "Their relationship at this point is just about co-parenting," the source explained. "Megan is focused on her kids and the baby and just getting settled into this new chapter. That’s genuinely her priority."
Navigating Parenthood Together Despite Separation
Interestingly, sources have noted that Kelly has stepped up significantly as a father since the birth of Saga. One insider revealed that Fox has been impressed by "how he's stepped up for both her and the baby," which had previously fueled whispers about a potential reunion. Back in October, it was reported that the two were spending considerable time together, often acting like a couple as they navigated early parenthood.
"He spends pretty much every night at her house with the baby, and they act like a couple, but they haven’t put a label on it or made anything official," an October source told People. Another source added at the time: "Megan's very happy with how he's stepped up for both her and the baby. While they still have separate homes, they spend a lot of time together as a family. They're putting the baby first, and it's brought them closer in many ways."
Public Insights into Their Co-Parenting Dynamic
Kelly has spoken publicly about co-parenting with Fox on several occasions. During a September appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, he gushed about their daughter's resemblance to both parents, noting, "We go back and forth on who she looks like. Last month, she looked exactly like me and now she looks exactly like her." He went on to praise Fox as a "phenomenal mom" and "the greatest partner to have had a child with."
The musician also explained the meaningful origin of their daughter's name. "My family is Norwegian and there's a Norwegian goddess called Saga and it means epic story," he shared. "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."
Kelly announced Saga's birth in March with a social media post that read, "She's finally here!! our little celestial seed 3/27/25," accompanied by a black-and-white video of the infant's hand gripping his finger. He has since shared occasional glimpses of their daughter on Instagram, including a reflective shot of him holding the baby through a car window.
Clear Boundaries and Future Prospects
Despite the cooperative co-parenting arrangement, sources have been clear that a romantic reconciliation is not on the cards. A May insider told Us Weekly that Fox "thinks MGK has stepped up and is being a good dad but doesn't think they have a future together romantically." The source emphasized, "Megan is in heaven with her baby girl and is really focused on being a mom right now," adding definitively that the stars are "absolutely not getting back together at this point in time."
Fox is reportedly "grateful" for Kelly's involvement, with the rapper staying over at her house several nights a week to help with baby care. Kelly himself has humorously highlighted the parenting double standards, recalling on Today With Jenna And Friends how someone complimented him as "such a good dad" simply for holding the baby, which left Fox "fuming." He modestly redirected praise, stating, "I want to detract any congrats to me, and just move it to Megan. Because she really does all the work."
Both Kelly and Fox have children from previous relationships. Kelly is father to 16-year-old daughter Casie from his relationship with ex Emma Canon, while Fox shares three children—Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9—with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Their current focus remains firmly on providing a stable, loving environment for their newest addition, Saga Blade, as they navigate this new chapter as dedicated co-parents.
