Machine Gun Kelly Resurfaces at Coachella in Dazzling Style After Welcoming Baby Girl with Megan Fox

Machine Gun Kelly just made his first public appearance since becoming a father, and he did it in true MGK fashion—under the strobe lights of Coachella, wrapped in rhinestones and rebellion.

The 33-year-old rapper and rocker shocked fans Friday night when he stepped on stage during Three 6 Mafia’s set on the first night of Coachella’s opening weekend. It’s the first time he’s been spotted since he and Megan Fox quietly welcomed their baby girl last month.

A Stage Return That Turned Heads

MGK didn’t just show up—he showed out. Wearing a black baseball cap slapped over a bandanna, paired with glittering gloves that sparkled under stage lights, the “Home” singer reminded everyone he’s still got stage presence in spades.

Just over two weeks after Megan gave birth to their daughter on March 27, Kelly seemed calm, collected, and totally in his element. His outfit wasn’t subtle. It never is. And that’s kind of the point.

One sentence, for vibe.

Fans online were quick to call out the look as “iconic” and “pure MGK.” That blend of chaos and charm? Yeah, it’s back.

Dad Mode, But Make It Rock and Roll

Let’s be clear—he’s not exactly in diaper duty mode 24/7. But the timing of his Coachella cameo, barely two weeks after the arrival of his baby girl, raised some eyebrows.

He posted the birth news to Instagram with a short, emotional caption:
“She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed. 3/27/25.”

There was also a heartwarming video—just him holding her tiny hand, gently stroking her fingers. Not loud. Not overproduced. Just soft and quiet. Totally out of character, and somehow even more powerful because of it.

Travis Barker, who drummed alongside MGK during the set, is also freshly back into toddler life himself. His son Rocky Thirteen, with Kourtney Kardashian, is just 17 months old.

So yeah, both dads are out here doing Coachella with a baseball cap over a bandanna like it’s 2005 again. Honestly? Kind of impressive.

Three 6 Mafia Set Turns into Unexpected Reunion

Nobody expected Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker to drop in mid-set with Three 6 Mafia. But the vibe clicked.

Travis was decked out in a T-shirt that literally said “Expletive words” on it. Classic Barker move. He matched Kelly’s look with a similar bandanna-baseball cap combo. It felt coordinated but unplanned—like the cool dad version of a group chat.

Here’s the thing:

• It wasn’t a headlining slot.

• There was no formal announcement.

• No press release, no promo.

Just pure, surprise cameo energy. That kind of spontaneity? Fans eat it up at Coachella. In one of the night’s most shared moments, MGK and Barker bounced around the stage, hyping up the crowd with the kind of chemistry that reminds everyone why they’ve collaborated so much over the years.

Behind the Scenes: The Baby News and Social Media Buzz

Back on March 27, MGK quietly became a dad—his first child with Megan Fox, though both stars have kids from previous relationships.

He didn’t make a red carpet announcement. No big photo shoot. Just one short, artsy clip posted to Instagram, where he’s stroking his daughter’s tiny fingers.

That post blew up instantly.

Fans had speculated about the pregnancy for months, but neither Kelly nor Fox ever confirmed it publicly during that time. The post confirmed not just the birth date—but also the vibe: soft, surreal, and star-dusted.

Megan hasn’t posted anything yet about the baby. But insiders say the two are focused on keeping things low-key this time around, especially after their very public highs and lows over the past year.

Coachella Crowd Reacts: Surprise, Cheers, and That Glove Moment

Some folks didn’t even realize it was MGK at first. That’s what happens when the lights are flashing, the music’s blaring, and the dude on stage is wearing full face gear.

But once fans connected the dots—and someone screamed “That’s MGK!!”—the energy shifted.

Phones went up. Cheers got louder. And people were definitely into it.

Social media lit up immediately after:

It’s not clear if he plans to perform again this weekend, or if this was a one-night-only deal. But fans are already hoping for more.

What This Means For MGK’s Next Era

Hard to say what direction Machine Gun Kelly’s career goes from here. He’s done rap, punk rock, alt-pop. Now he’s dabbling in dad vibes?

A new album? Maybe. A tour? Possibly. A baby-themed track called “Celestial Seed”? Don’t bet against it. The man thrives on chaos and reinvention.

And now, with a newborn daughter and a surprise Coachella performance under his belt, it looks like Machine Gun Kelly is entering a whole new chapter—sparkles, gloves, diapers and all.
