Machine Gun Kelly and Daughter Casie Make a Splash at Kids’ Choice Awards
Machine Gun Kelly made a rare public appearance alongside his daughter Casie Colson Baker at the Kids’ Choice Awards over the weekend.
The 35-year-old artist walked the orange carpet with 15-year-old Casie on Saturday, June 22, at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The father-daughter pair beamed with joy as they posed together—MGK donned an all-black outfit while Casie wore a vibrant hot pink strapless dress.
Casie—who MGK shares with ex Emma Cannon—even introduced her dad ahead of his performance, saying, “I know no one really wants their parents at the party, but you? You’re pretty cool! Give it up for my dad, MGK!”
He then took the stage to perform his latest hit “Cliché” with backup dancers before getting slimed, naturally.
Before the award show, MGK felt anxious that Casie might be too shy to introduce him, as “she’s really shy when it comes to public stuff.”
“I might just trick her and say, ‘OK, just go to your seat,’ and that seat will be right where the camera is. ‘Go on anyway.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, gotta say something,’” he told Z100. “MGK is for the kids. Wu-Tang [Clan] and MGK are both for the kids.”

This event marked their first public appearance together since they attended the Dolce&Gabbana Men’s SS24 Show during Milan Fashion Week in June 2023.
“As much as a f*** up people say I am, I pray that I have the connection I didn’t have with my parents with my kid. When I’m with her, nothing else matters,” he shared on the “Life Lessons” YouTube series in 2015. “If it was a mistake, own up. It’s not gonna be a mistake when you see that beautiful little girl pop up and you see those breaths come.”
Recently, MGK became a girl dad once again with the arrival of baby Saga Blade, with ex Megan Fox in March.
“Saga Blade Fox-Baker,” he wrote in an Instagram caption on Tuesday, June 17, alongside a burning heart emoji. He also shared a video of himself gently playing the ukulele for his daughter while she listened intently just out of frame.
MGK and Fox were first romantically linked in 2020 and got engaged two years later. They quietly split in November 2024, shortly after Fox announced her pregnancy. She also has three children—Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8—from her previous marriage with Brian Austin Green.
