In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, MGK, also known as Colson Baker, revealed how fatherhood has transformed his life, giving him a newfound sense of purpose and drive. The singer, known for hits like “Cliché,” shared how being a dad to his daughters, Casie, aged 16, from a previous relationship, and Saga Blade, just 4 months old, has had a profound impact on him.
Following the release of his latest album, Lost Americana, MGK spoke about how both his daughters have shown support for his music. While Saga may not be able to talk yet, her smiles when he plays his music indicate her appreciation for it. Casie, on the other hand, has been more than just a supporter for MGK; she has also been an advisor and, in some instances, a saviour, preventing him from making certain career missteps.
Being a father has not only inspired MGK artistically but has also given him a fresh perspective on life. He emphasised how fatherhood has recharged his “will-to-live battery” and reaffirmed his sense of purpose in the world. The complexities of his own family background have made him cherish the bond he shares with his daughters even more.
Despite his busy schedule as a music artist, MGK has found time to bond with his daughters, as seen during a recent appearance at the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards with Casie. The pair shared a heartwarming moment on the red carpet, with Casie describing her dad as not just an advisor but also a ‘hype man’ who encourages her to be herself.
MGK also shed light on the adjustments and joys of welcoming Saga into their family. He expressed admiration for actress Megan Fox, his partner and Saga’s mother, for handling the challenges of motherhood with grace and strength. As MGK focused on bringing music, laughter, and love into their home, he acknowledged the crucial role women play in the early stages of parenthood.
In the midst of his music career and fatherhood responsibilities, MGK remains grateful for the support and love he receives from his daughters. As he navigates the ever-evolving journey of parenting, MGK continues to find inspiration and solace in the profound connection he shares with his children.
MGK’s candid revelations about fatherhood and family dynamics offer a glimpse into his personal life beyond the spotlight. His story serves as a reminder of the transformative power of parenthood and the ways in which it can shape an individual’s outlook on life and love. As fans eagerly await the release of Lost Americana, they can also celebrate MGK’s journey as a devoted father and devoted artist.
