But MGK is no stranger to self-reflection and doing the work.

“Mentally, for me, seven years ago I was on cocaine and any drug you could imagine. And that isn’t the case anymore,” he said on an August 2024 episode of Logan Paul‘s Impaulsive podcast. “So when you say, like, I come across [as] grounded, that’s a new revelation for me and a new version of myself I just met.”

By then, Fox had played his pregnant significant other in the music video for his song “Lonely Road,” and Paul asked MGK if she really was expecting.

“I like to leave a lot of stuff up to interpretation and there’s a reason behind every single thing that happened in that music video,” MGK said. “Some part of me is like, leave art up to interpretation, I guess that’s where I’ll leave it. But everything has a meaning.”

Seven months after that episode dropped, MGK announced his daughter’s arrival.

“She’s finally here!!” MGK captioned a March 27 video of their daughter’s teeny-tiny hand clutching his thumb. “our little celestial seed.” (Naturally, people then wondered if they had named her “Celestial Seed,” which he swiftly debunked, advising that Fox would share the baby’s name when she was ready.)
