Making good on his responsibilities, Machine Gun Kelly, now a father of two kids, left the AMAs 2025 after the red carpet because of his and Megan Fox’s baby girl. MGK, who welcomed a daughter with his ex-fiancée in late March, proved his priorities were straight while telling E! News about his valid reason to skip the whole awards show on Monday. He has reportedly been living “part-time” with the actor to co-parent their newborn and spend time with the girl. Recent reports claimed the musician has been going out of his way to help Fox and fulfill his duties.
Machine Gun Kelly left AMAs 2025 after arriving because his baby was sick
Walking the AMAs 2025 red carpet wasn’t MGK’s only concern on Monday night, and he left shortly after arriving because his and Megan Fox’s baby girl was sick. He explained his reason to E! News, claiming he was leaving early as his daughter was unwell. Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, confirmed that the “baby’s great” but expressed his worries about her having a “little bit of a fever.” He then told the interviewer he would “walk the carpet” but sit out on the whole Las Vegas ceremony to return to his baby girl and take care of her.
“I’m gonna just walk the carpet and go back, you know what I mean, and handle my business,” MGK claimed while expressing his concerns. He continued about giving her “my pheromones, and let her heal up.” Moreover, the interviewer asked Machine Gun Kelly, who shares his older daughter, Casie, with his ex Emma Cannon, if being a dad “was the best role ever.” It appeared he was more than prepared with an answer. “I was born to be a dad,” he responded without hesitation, adding that fatherhood was his “purpose” in life.
MGK skipping the AMAs 2025 to tend to his newborn baby came as sources revealed the rapper “has done a real turnaround.” He had reportedly been living “part-time” with Megan Fox so they could peacefully co-parent their baby girl. A source previously told In Touch Weekly that Kelly has been taking up more responsibilities as the dad, including driving Fox to the store, offering to do night shifts, and staying in over going out to party.
