MGK is sharing a rare glimpse at dad life.
In a recent Instagram Reel, the rapper and actor, 35, took fans through a day in his life. MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, started off the video showing off some special time with his 7-month-old daughter Saga, whom he shares with actress Megan Fox.
At the beginning of the video, MGK helps his little girl as she works on “practicing frequencies” on a tiny drum pad.
On Thursday, Aug. 7, the Nerve actor appeared on Today with Jenna and Friends to talk about his album Lost Americana. While speaking with host Jenna Bush Hager, MGK opened up about life with his daughter, Saga.
“It’s awesome. I want to detract all of the congrats to me and just move it to Megan because she really does all the work. I keep getting called ‘The Music Teacher,’ ” he said of Fox, 39. “Someone the other day was like, ‘You’re such a good dad!’ Just because I was holding the baby. And she was fuming, like, ‘No, no, no, no.’ She’s the one. I just play the guitar and pray that the baby is happy.”
On March 27, MGK welcomed his second daughter, his first with Fox, sharing the exciting news on his Instagram as he posted a video of himself with his newborn daughter. In the black-and-white video, MGK could be seen holding his baby daughter’s hand, stroking her fingers.
“She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed 🥹💓♈️♓️♊️,” he wrote in the caption. “3/27/25.”
Fox and MGK, who got engaged in January 2022, called it quits at the end of November, not long after announcing their baby on the way. MGK is also dad to daughter Casie, 16, with his ex Emma Cannon.

The dad of two is embracing this new journey with his little one and is already planning playdates with his friend Pete Davidson, who is expecting his first baby with his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, MGK talked about some of his and the Saturday Night Live alum’s plans as dads with their children close in age. However, the Lost Americana artist told host Jimmy Fallon that they have to clear their plans with the moms first.
“I feel like me and him always talk about, like, ‘Won’t it be great to just be walking our babies down in strollers?’ And I’m like, ‘You know, I don’t think Megan and Elsie are ever gonna let us,’ ” he told host Jimmy Fallon. “I think that they would be in their heads thinking that we would be looking at the baby and go, ‘Okay. What do we do?'”
He continued joking, “[And, that] the diapers end up on our heads or something.”
