Machine Gun Kelly is finally pulling back the curtain on one of the most talked-about baby names in Hollywood — and the story behind it is nothing short of epic.
During a heartfelt appearance on NBC’s “Today” show, the rapper and rocker shared the real meaning behind his daughter’s striking name: Saga Blade Fox-Baker — and yes, it’s just as poetic and powerful as it sounds.
From Heartbreak to Healing: Why “Saga” Was the Only Name That Made Sense
For MGK, the name Saga isn’t just cool-sounding — it carries five years of emotional weight, loss, survival, and hope.
Opening up on air, MGK (real name Colson Baker) explained that the name was chosen in part to honor the emotional rollercoaster he and Megan Fox have faced together, including multiple miscarriages that deeply impacted their journey to parenthood.
“It’s been an epic story,” he said, getting visibly emotional. “Disappearing, returning, surviving — all of it felt like a saga.”
And that’s exactly what the word Saga means: a long, heroic story filled with trials, transformations, and triumph. For a couple that’s been through more than their share of drama — both privately and in the public eye — the name hits on every level.

It doesn’t stop there.
MGK also revealed that Saga is a nod to his Norwegian roots, specifically the Norse goddess of storytelling, also named Saga. According to mythology, she was a powerful seer who chronicled epic tales — making the name even more fitting for a child born into two very public, expressive, and creatively driven families.
“She’s born to tell stories,” MGK said with a smile. “And she already has one of the most powerful ones.”
And then there’s Blade — a name that adds an edge, quite literally.
While MGK didn’t elaborate as much on the middle name, fans are speculating it represents resilience, power, and protection, especially considering the couple’s rocky relationship history and their shared love for gothic, fantasy-inspired aesthetics.
Megan & MGK: From Fallout to Family Focus
As fans know, the couple has been on and off for years — and they’ve never been shy about airing their emotional ups and downs in public.
After their viral Thanksgiving fallout in 2024, rumors of a split were everywhere. Megan even removed all photos of MGK from her social media accounts at the time, further fueling breakup buzz.
But fast-forward to today, and it seems the two are back on stable ground — co-parenting and coexisting with love and respect as they welcome their first child together. For Megan, this is baby number four; for MGK, it’s his second (he also shares daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon).
Sources close to the couple say the birth of Saga Blade has brought a new sense of calm and unity between the two.
“They’ve been through so much,” said one insider. “But this baby girl has shifted everything.”
Daddy-Daughter Moments Already Melting Hearts
MGK recently shared sweet moments on Instagram of him holding his newborn, captioned simply: “My whole world in one hand.” The photo — which shows a tiny hand gripping his tattooed finger — has already racked up millions of likes and comments from fellow celebs and fans.
One user commented:
“Saga Blade is a name fit for a legend — she’s already iconic.”
Another wrote:
“This is so much deeper than people realize. Love this for them.”
✨ What’s Next for Saga Blade?
At just a few weeks old, baby Saga is already turning heads with her cinematic name and powerful origin story. And with two ultra-creative parents like Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, there’s no doubt she’s in for a childhood full of bold expression, public attention, and — maybe someday — storytelling of her own.
As for the couple? They’re keeping a relatively low profile (for now), focusing on family and possibly laying the foundation for their next chapter.
