Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have revealed the name of their baby daughter born on March 27, 2025. The couple chose to name her Saga Blade Fox‑Baker, a name that they say felt deeply meaningful and perfectly fitting for their newest family member


Saga is a word that evokes story and meaning. It signifies the telling of a tale or recounting of events across time. For Fox and Kelly the name represented a fresh chapter in their lives a narrative rich with hope that felt resonant and purposeful . The second name Blade adds boldness and strength completing the trio of names shared in the announcement. The hyphenated surname Fox‑Baker reflects both her mother’s and father’s family names poetically joining their legacies.


The announcement came via Machine Gun Kelly’s Instagram post on June 17. The video shows him softly playing a ukulele for his daughter as she gently rocks in her baby bouncer. In the caption he expresses gratitude to Fox calling Saga “the ultimate gift” and included both names Saga Blade Fox‑Baker unambiguously


This marks Fox’s fourth child; she is mother to three sons, Noah aged 12 Bodhi aged 11 and Journey aged 8 from her marriage to Brian Austin Green. For Kelly this is his second child alongside his fifteen‑year‑old daughter Casie from a previous relationship. The arrival of Saga represents the start of a new era for them both as co‑parents even if their romantic relationship has concluded.


The couple had previously referred to their daughter in a poetic way on social media. On March 27 Kelly posted a black and white video with the caption “our little celestial seed” which spurred speculation that Saga was her name. Kelly later clarified that “celestial seed” was descriptive not a name and that Megan would announce the real name when the time was right.


Those close to Fox and Kelly say the name seems emotional in context. A source told People that the name Saga was chosen because of its deep meaning and resonance as a symbol of narrative renewal. Another source confirmed that both parents feel strongly that Saga Blade suits her and hope that it provides a foundation for a life full of stories and purpose.


Despite ending their engagement in late 2024 their focus now is centered on raising their daughter together in a positive co‑parenting environment. Sources say they are in a good place communicating well and prioritizing their roles as parents above all.


Machine Gun Kelly has shown his devotion publicly in recent months. At the American Music Awards in May he briefly appeared on the red carpet but then immediately left to tend to Saga who had a slight fever. During that appearance he described fatherhood as his purpose and expressed strong commitment to caring for his daughter .


Megan Fox who announced her pregnancy in November 2024 also referenced a previous pregnancy loss when she shared, “nothing is ever really lost welcome back.” The couple’s shared experience lent profound depth to Saga’s arrival symbolizing a rainbow baby indicating renewed hope after the loss.


Fox’s choice to include both sides of Saga’s heritage in her full name speaks to the blended future they envision. The hyphenated surname projects shared responsibility and equal honor for both her parents. Kelly’s choice to share the naming moment on social media reflects his aim to celebrate their co‑parenting journey in public while maintaining respect for Fox’s lead in unveiling the name itself.


Saga Blade Fox‑Baker’s name resonates as more than an identifier it embodies story legacy and resilience. It encapsulates the couple’s shared history and personal growth. Each element of the name speaks to intention and symbolism: Saga as narrative Blade as strength and Fox‑Baker as unity.


As they step forward into parenthood together their choice of name suggests a desire to provide Saga with a life anchored in love purpose and history. While the years may bring change their daughter’s name will always echo the meaning Fox and Kelly invested at her beginning. They chose a name that tells a story of hope new beginnings and shared commitment to their child’s future.
