Machine Gun Kelly is indulging in a little nostalgia with his daughter Casey Colson Baker.
The musician and proud father, 35, took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and 16-year-old Casey at Universal Orlando, both posing with frothy cups of Butterbeer, the iconic drink from JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series. In the photo posted on Friday, November 14, MGK (real name Colson Baker) and Casey are all smiles as they pose with Butterbeer mustaches.
This photo is a recreation of a snap taken 11 years ago, when Casey was just 5 years old. MGK shared an original photo in a second slide of them posing as a father and daughter sporting a striking Butterbeer mustache.
“11 years later 🤯🤍,” he wrote in the photo’s caption.
MGK shares Casey, who was born in 2009, with ex Emma Cannon.
The genre-hopping artist previously spoke about how Casey became sober and inspired him to stop using drugs and alcohol in August 2023.
“It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, can you tell when I’m high?’ It was heartbreaking,” he said of his decision to come clean on the “Million Dollars Worth of Game” podcast. “It was the ultimate disappointment.”
“It took me a while after that, because obviously drugs have a negative effect on humans. That was the first step for me. I have to break this generation’s curse on my children in order to be the father that I wanted my father to be.”
2025 has been a family-filled year for MGK, as he welcomed a baby girl, Saga Blade, with longtime love Megan Fox in March. He also reconciled with Fox, with whom he split in December 2024.

In October, a source exclusively told PEOPLE that the two are acting like a couple again, although they are “not putting any labels on it.”
“Megan is very happy with the step he took for both her and the baby,” the source said. “They still have separate homes, but they spend a lot of time together as a family. They put their baby first, and it’s brought them closer in many ways.”
