Machine Gun Kelly is indulging in a bit of tasty nostalgia alongside his daughter, Casie Colson Baker.
The musician and proud dad, 35, shared a photo of himself and Casie, 16, at Universal Orlando on Instagram, both posing with frothy cups of Butterbeer, the iconic beverage from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. In the photo posted Friday, Nov. 14, both MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, and Casie are all smiles as they pose with Butterbeer mustaches.
The photo is a recreation of a snap taken 11 years earlier, when Casie was just 5 years old. MGK shared the original photo on the second slide as the father and daughter pose with impressive Butterbeer mustaches.
“11 years later 🤯🤍,” he wrote in the photo’s caption.
MGK shares Casie, who was born in 2009, with ex Emma Cannon.
The genre-hopping artist has spoken previously about how Casie inspired him to get sober and stop using drugs and alcohol in August 2023.
“It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high?’ It broke my heart,” he said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast of his decision to get clean. “It was the ultimate letdown.”
The rapper continued: “It took me a while afterward because obviously drugs have a vice grip on you. That was step one for me. To be the father I wish my dad would have been, I have to break this generational curse for my kid.”
2025 has been a year full of family for MGK, who welcomed a new baby girl, Saga Blade, with longtime flame Megan Fox in March. He also reconciled with Fox, from whom he split in December 2024.

In October, a source exclusively shared with PEOPLE that the two “haven’t put a label on it,” but are acting like a couple again.
“Megan’s very happy with how he’s stepped up for both her and the baby,” the insider said. “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.”
