MGK’s Daughter Casie Steals the Show—and Our Hearts—at the Kids’ Choice Awards
“She’s better than me in all the ways,” says proud papa MGK
Machine Gun Kelly might be known for his tattoos, wild tour antics, and moody rockstar vibes—but don’t get it twisted: this man is also a full-blown girl dad, and a sentimental one at that. MGK (real name Colson Baker) hit the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards orange carpet with his real co-star of the night—his stunning 15-year-old daughter Casie Colson Baker—and their bond had everyone collectively swooning.
Dressed in cool-kid coordinated outfits, the two gave off major “dad and daughter who actually like each other” energy. And while MGK is used to fans screaming his name, this time it was Casie who had everyone’s attention.
When asked what it’s like being MGK’s daughter, Casie kept it real: “The best part is having opportunities, and it’s very nice being able to listen to every new unreleased song.” (Perks of having a famous dad? We’ll take it.) But what really hit home was her praise for MGK’s wisdom: “He gives me a lot of good advice because he’s been through a lot of wise years.”
Wise years? Someone give this teen a book deal. Immediately.
MGK, who shares Casie with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon (a private figure outside the spotlight, and African American, for those keeping track), got visibly emotional when talking about his daughter. “I got my best friend and my life,” he said. “She’s so wise, and honestly, she’s just better than me. Better than me in all the ways.”
Listen, we’re not crying. You’re crying.
Casie, who’s biracial, is growing up fast—and stepping confidently into her own spotlight. Fans who remember her as a quiet plus-one at her dad’s events are now watching her blossom into a stylish, articulate young woman with her own vibe (and, let’s be real, way more poise than most of us had at 15). And yes, she gets early access to her dad’s unreleased bangers. Dream life.
It’s been a busy year for MGK on the parenting front. In March 2025, he and ex-fiancée Megan Fox welcomed a daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker (because of course her name is that iconic). While MGK and Megan have since split, sources say they’re doing the co-parenting thing right. “They’re amicable and on the same page when it comes to parenting,” an insider told People, via Harper’s Bazaar. So yes, the love story may have paused—but the family vibes are still strong.
Whether he’s headlining festivals or getting Nickelodeon slime next to his teenage daughter, MGK is reminding us that the real rockstar move? Showing up for your kids.
And Casie? She’s reminding us that a strong, grounded, and quietly fabulous young woman can shine—even with a chart-topping, chaos-bringing dad by her side. We can’t wait to see what she does next.
