How Machine Gun Kelly’s Daughter With Ex Emma Cannon Inspired Him to Get Sober After Addiction Reportedly Almost Ruined Megan Fox Romance

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox are ready to welcome a new member to their family. The actress announced on November 11, 2024, that she and her fiancé, Colson Baker, are expecting a baby after she suffered a miscarriage in 2023. She shared a picture of her covered in oily black pain and wrote in the caption, ‘Nothing is ever really lost; welcome back,’ and played Machine Gun Kelly’s Last November song on her post.

Megan Fox shares three kids, Noah, Bodhi, and Journey, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Colson Baker also shares 15-year-old daughter Casie Colson Baker with his ex Emma Cannon. Machine Gun Kelly shares how his ex-Cannon’s daughter helped him get better, which has now helped his relationship with Fox.

Machine Gun Kelly gets candid about his 15-year-old daughter helping him get sober

Rapper-singer-songwriter-actor Machine Gun Kelly appeared on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, where he revealed that a conversation with his teenage daughter Casie prompted him to get sober. He shared,

It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high?’ It broke my heart. It was the ultimate letdown.

Kelly added that Casie, whom he shares with Emma Cannon, was 11-12 at the time, and it took him a while afterward because the drugs had a grip on him. He noted that was step one for him, adding that as a father and as a man, to be the father he wishes his father would have been, he had to break the generational curse for his kid.

The artist has revealed he has abused alcohol, marijuana, and pills, but upon his appearance on Bunnie Xo’s podcast, Dumb Blonde, he shared that he’s one year sober. He shared during

I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t drunk since last August. That was the first time I ever went to rehab.

Not only Casie, but his fiancé Megan Fox has also been super supportive of him getting sober, especially after they reportedly split due to his substance abuse. During the conversation, he added that Fox has been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals that come after getting off drugs. But Kelly is not going to give up, as he mentioned that he will continue to embrace this journey, which he knows is going to be hard for him, but he will accept it and forgive himself.

I am also really hard on myself, and very self-deprecating. I am just happy that I’m able to start to be comfortable enough to show people who I am because I kind of depended on my art to do that.

Machine Gun Kelly is a doting father to his 15-year-old daughter, as he has shared posts online expressing his love for her. Even though his ex keeps a low profile and never really shows up on his feed, MGK has described her as ‘the best mother I’ve ever seen firsthand.’ She is very much involved in Casie’s life, just like Baker.

Very little is known about their relationship except that they met when they were teenagers, and his song Her Song is rumored to be about her. He is a great parent to Casie, and fans do not doubt that he will be a great father to his and Megan Fox’s baby.

Megan Fox reportedly wanted to walk away if Machine Gun Kelly didn’t get sober

Reports by In Touch Weekly stated that Kelly’s decision to get sober saved his relationship with Megan Fox. The reports suggested that he was on the brink of losing the actress before he realized and got the help. They said,

She wasn’t going to stay with him, not after the way he was acting, destroying guitars, smashing glasses on his, and raging at anyone who got in his way. He was headed for disaster until he made up his mind to change.

Life & Style also shared that after the rapper made lifestyle changes, their romance rekindled, and he was able to win Fox’s love and trust back. Colson Baker cut back in his partying and drinking, and above all, he stopped acting so jealous and controlling, which was one of the major issues between the two.

The reports noted that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly tried the whole living apart thing and realized that they really missed each other and they truly are twin flames. So they sat down, talked through their issues, and made some changes to rekindle their romance.

However, Fox’s inner circle is still very skeptical about how long MGK is able to keep up with his sobriety. They mentioned he’s a very intense guy and has a lot of people in life who can influence him, so they are worried that once he gets comfortable and confident that Fox isn’t going anywhere, he might slip back into his old ways.

But now, with a baby on the way, it’s very unlikely that the rapper would slip back into his old way, especially when he knows that Megan Fox won’t think twice before taking a step. They are truly in love with each other but have to keep their lifestyles in check.

Congratulations to the couple.
