Rapper and musician Machine Gun Kelly (aka Colson Baker) is admired by fans for his devil-may-care lifestyle, but he also has a mature side.
Many people might not know that he is a girl dad.
The trailblazing musician shares a daughter, Casie, with his teenage sweetheart, Emma Cannon.
Although he is protective of her privacy, he occasionally takes to Instagram to share adorable snapshots of their latest adventures.
Machine Gun Kelly's daughter Casie was born in 2009.
MGK was around 19 when he and Emma welcomed Casie. Over the years, MGK — who is now expecting his first child with fianceé Megan Fox — has revealed that Casie has inspired several of his songs.
"I'd say I did a lot of what I did with songs like 'At My Best' was because of the influence of my daughter," he said at the Billboard Hot 100 Festival.
"People gotta understand that as wild as I am, I still have to go home at night and there still is someone that is sitting there like, 'I'm 6 years old and I can't handle you being as gnarly as you are."
More recently, on The Kelly Clarkson Show, MGK shared, "I trust her opinion more than I trust my own now. Like, she has her finger on the pulse of what's hot, or if I'm doing a song and it's the right one, she'll confirm it."
He also opened up about his struggles with drugs and alcohol and credited Casie for his sobriety.
"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," he said on the Million Dollaz Worth podcast.
An astrologist predicted MGK would have another daughter.
MGK and Megan briefly talked about their future plans with astrologist Susan Miller in the July 22, 2020 episode of the Give Them Lala ... with Randall podcast.
"I have one daughter. Do I have more kids in my future?" MGK asked Susan.
"Is he going to have multiple more children?" Megan asked.
The astrologist told MGK that he would have no trouble having more kids. As she explained, it would be more likely for him to have a girl. As she said, it's less likely for him to have multiple more kids.
Fast forward four years and Megan and MGK announced they are expecting their first child together. "Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back," Megan captioned the emotional post, which alluded to the couple's miscarriage in 2023.
However, the gender of the baby has yet to be announced.
Megan already shares three boys, Noah, Bodhi, and Journey with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, so we are hoping Susan was right with her girl prediction.
