MGK Shares Why Megan Fox Was Upset About ‘Good Dad’ Label

Machine Gun Kelly is a dad for the second time, but he doesn’t want any credit for his role as a parent.

“I want to detract any of the congrats to me and just move it to Megan because she really does all the work,” he shared. “I keep getting called, like, ‘the music teacher.’”

“Someone the other day was like, ‘You’re such a good dad!’ just because I was holding the baby or something like that,” he said, highlighting one of the prominent double standards that moms and dads face.

He said that Fox didn’t love the compliment.

“She was fuming, like, ‘No, no, no, no,’” he said. “She is the one. I just, you know, play the guitar and hope and pray that the baby is happy.”

MGK and Fox welcomed their daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, on March 27.

Fox has three children with her ex-husband, “90210” star Brian Austin Green.

Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, also has a teenage daughter from a previous relationship.

He recently opened up about the naming process for his two girls, and said that he “lost the first one and won the second one” ― for good reason.

“When you are 18 years old and you go to her mother and you go, ‘What if we named our kid ‘Kid’? It’s like ― I get why she was like, ‘Hey man, shut up,’” the “Bloody Valentine” singer told the “Today” show in July of naming his first daughter, Casie, who is now 16.
