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.
