It’s official — after months of keeping things hush-hush, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have finally dropped the name of their daughter.

And in true MGK style, it’s got that signature edgy twist.


In a new Instagram reel shared with his 9.1 million followers, MGK — real name Colson Baker — posted a sweet video serenading his baby girl with a ukulele.

And in the caption, the chart-topper took the opportunity to not only thank Fox, but also reveal their daughter's name to fans. He wrote: “Saga Blade Fox-Baker [...] thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox.”

The name reveal also made its way to his 4.1 million TikTok followers, with the same caption.

A Name That’s Been Years in the Making

And while this is the first time their daughter's unique name has been made public, fans were quick to realize that “Blade” has been on MGK’s radar for a while. In a 2021 GQ couples quiz with Megan, the rapper revealed his dream middle name: “Blade.”

When Megan guessed it unprompted, MGK was floored: “That’s what I want,” he said. “No, Blade, Blade is good.”


She followed up with “Sword, Katana, Chaos,” but “Blade” stuck — and now it’s part of their daughter’s identity.

Internet Reacts to Saga Blade

Though MGK turned off comments on the posts, the internet couldn’t hold back. Social media exploded with takes on the name “Saga Blade Fox-Baker,” with many calling it iconic.

“That’s a powerful name," one fan wrote, with a second writing: “It’s kinda like a name that only those two would be able to come up with. I like it!”

“Saga Blade sounds so freaking cute awww the way he looks at baby girlie!! Such a cute girl dad! My heart," another added.

"I could cry, this is so cute! What an awesome name," one X user tweeted, with another writing: "What a cool name!!! I bet they put a lot of thought in to it, and glad they were ready to share it with us."

Others added: “Saga Blade Fox-Baker! I’M LITERALLY SCREAMING AT HOW CUTE THAT NAME IS!”

“It fits them as a couple,” another user wrote on Reddit. “I actually like it! Could have been way worse.”

Welcome to the World, Saga

Saga, born on March 27, is the first child for the couple together, though both stars brought their own parenting experience to the table.

Megan Fox is already a mom to Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. MGK is also dad to 15-year-old daughter Casie, whom he shares with ex Emma Cannon.

MGK and Fox first met while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020. Sparks flew fast, and they went public after Megan’s decade-long marriage ended. By January 2022, they were engaged, and by late 2023, they were expecting.

But just as their “celestial seed” entered the world, things got rocky. The couple split in November, shortly after their pregnancy reveal.

Still, insiders say they’re staying focused where it counts.


“They tried to make things work for many years. It was exhausting for Megan,” a source told PEOPLE. “She’s done with him now. She just wants to focus on the baby and her boys now. She lives alone and doesn’t have much contact with MGK.”

Despite that, they’re reportedly on the same page when it comes to their daughter: “Whatever issues they have, Megan and MGK both are on the same page when it comes to co-parenting,” the insider added. “Right now they’re amicable.

“No one would be surprised if they gave their relationship another try down the line. But right now they’re focused on what’s best for their daughter.”

A huge congratulations to MGK and Fox!
