Rapper reacts to the onion’s viral jab as he and Megan Fox focus on bonding with their newborn daughter.

Machine Gun Kelly isn’t losing sleep over sarcastic headlines—especially when they come from satire kings The Onion. The 34-year-old rapper and actor, whose real name is Colson Baker, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share his reaction to the spoof outlet’s jab at his newly evolved relationship with ex-fiancée Megan Fox.

The article that caught his eye bore the tongue-in-cheek headline: “Megan Fox Confirms She and New Baby Will Co-Parent Machine Gun Kelly.” Rather than lash out, MGK reposted the story to his Instagram Stories with a trio of laughing emojis—clearly taking it in good humour.

The post arrives just weeks after Fox, 38, welcomed their baby girl on March 27—her fourth child and first with Kelly. The couple, who called off their engagement last year, have reportedly been amicable as they settle into life as co-parents, despite not having a formal custody arrangement just yet.

A source told Page Six that while there’s “no set co-parenting schedule in place,” both Kelly and Fox are focused on one thing: enjoying time with their newborn daughter. “They just want to celebrate this time and enjoy their baby girl for now,” the insider shared.

Another source echoed that sentiment to PEOPLE, confirming that despite any lingering personal issues, the former couple are united when it comes to parenting. “Whatever issues they have, Megan and MGK both are on the same page when it comes to co-parenting. Right now they’re amicable,” the tipster said.

This light-hearted moment adds a public layer to the duo’s approach to life post-breakup: keeping things positive, mature, and focused on what matters—family.

While MGK has previously worn his heart on his sleeve when it came to Fox, this recent jab and his cheerful response suggest a more relaxed, self-aware version of the artist emerging. His story share is also being interpreted by fans as a sign he’s in good spirits, taking parenthood and headlines in stride.

Fox and Kelly’s rollercoaster romance began in 2020 after meeting on the set of the indie film Midnight in the Switchgrass. The couple were engaged by 2022, but by early 2024, cracks in the relationship began to surface. By the end of last year, they had reportedly split, though they continued to communicate for the sake of their daughter.

Fans were surprised but thrilled when news of the baby’s birth broke. Kelly celebrated the moment with a subtle social media post showing a glimpse of the newborn, sparking a flood of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

The Onion’s satirical quip—portraying Fox and her baby as co-parenting him—quickly went viral for its absurdity and clever twist on celebrity parenting narratives. MGK’s decision to laugh along with the rest of the internet further fuels the idea that he’s embracing fatherhood with a level-headed, grounded outlook.

Whether or not more cheeky headlines come his way, one thing’s for certain: MGK is finding joy in the chaos—and laughing all the way through it.
