Machine Gun Kelly reveals meaning behind daughter Saga's name
Machine Gun Kelly has opened up about the meaningful inspiration behind the name of his daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker, whom he welcomed with Megan Fox in March 2025.
During a June 20 appearance on the Today Show, the rapper and singer shared that the name Saga was chosen because of its deep connection to storytelling. 'She is an epic story,' MGK said. 'That's what saga means.'
The artist, born Colson Baker, noted that the name also draws from his Norwegian heritage, referencing the Nordic goddess of storytelling, named Saga. 'She has a storytelling future ahead of her,' he added, reflecting on the symbolic significance of the name.
MGK, 35, and Megan Fox, 39, announced their daughter's birth earlier this year, marking a new chapter in their high-profile relationship. Their daughter's name, while unique, avoids typical celebrity clichés and instead focuses on personal and cultural meaning.
Ahead of his Today Show performance, MGK also gave a heartfelt shoutout to his 15-year-old daughter Casie, whom he shares with ex Emma Cannon. Casie was present at the event, sending her dad 'hand hearts' from the side of the stage.
The couple has largely kept their daughter's life private, but this rare moment offered fans a glimpse into their family's personal values and MGK's emotional connection to both of his daughters.

Dakota Johnson reveals dating non-negotiable after Chris Martin breakup
Dakota Johnson has shared her must-have standard in any future relationship following her split from longtime partner Chris Martin. During a June 9 appearance on NBC's Today show with her Materialists co-star Chris Evans, Johnson, 35, was asked about one dating non-negotiable. Her response was clear and direct: 'Like, not an a–hole.' The candid moment came days after Johnson hinted at the end of her nearly eight-year on-and-off relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48. In a previous interview with the Los Angeles Times, Johnson spoke on the emotional complexities of love and questioned societal norms around marriage and divorce. 'Why is divorce bad?' she asked. 'Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once?' Shortly after that interview, People confirmed that Johnson and Martin had broken up, reportedly for good. Sources close to the couple cited an age gap and differing views on having children as the primary reasons for the split. Johnson is said to have expressed interest in starting a family, while Martin, who shares two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, is reportedly no longer interested in expanding his family. The actress has since been seen in public without the engagement ring Martin allegedly gave her two years into their relationship. Despite their split, Martin gave a supportive nod to Johnson's film Materialists at a recent Coldplay concert, urging fans to watch it. Reps for both stars have not yet commented on the breakup. Johnson's remarks and public appearances continue to fuel discussion around modern relationship expectations in Hollywood.
