Hey, at least he has a sense of humor about his break-up with Megan Fox.

Musician Machine Gun Kelly couldn't help but laugh when beloved satirical news site The Onion took a jab at his less than parental image following the birth of his first child with ex Megan Fox.

The site riffed on Fox's recent comments that she and Kelly would be co-parenting, but not reuniting, following the birth of their baby girl.

The Onion's headline read:

“Megan Fox Confirms She And New Baby Will Co-Parent Machine Gun Kelly.”

The "news story" posted in the caption went on to joke:

"Expressing relief that they were both on the same page about custody, Megan Fox confirmed Friday that she and her new baby would be working together to co-parent Machine Gun Kelly."
"‘The coming months are going to be exhausting, but knowing that I have this newborn by my side to help set a good example for MGK makes it a lot less scary,’ said the Transformers actress, pausing to tend to the sound of Kelly whimpering over the monitor that he needed a Monster Energy drink."

You've got to admit, it's a pretty good joke, and even Kelly had to laugh about it. He posted a screenshot to his Instagram Story, along with several laughing emojis.

Kelly and Fox were once inescapable in the news to a degree that... well, honestly felt kind of disconcerting, but they parted ways in November 2024, just after announcing Fox's pregnancy.

Their baby was born March 27, 2025 and is Fox's fourth child, along with Noah Shannon, 12, Bodhi Ransom, 11, and Journey River, 8, her children with ex Brian Austin Green.

A source told People that while Kelly and Fox are "amicable," they only plan to co-parent and won't be getting back together.

On Instagram, The Onion readers got just as many laughs as MGK did.

Jokes aside, MGK seems over-the-moon to be dad, and the People source says he and Fox are "on the same page" about this new chapter in their journey.

Trump's Dismissive Reaction To Concerns About Insider Trading Amid His War With Iran Speaks Infuriating Volumes

In an article for CounterPunch titled "Trump’s Casino Royale: The Iran War," Matthew Stevenson wrote:

"Given that Donald Trump conceives of the presidency as a casino—why else would he be trying to makeover the White House to look like the Bellagio?—it makes sense that his administration has turned the war with Iran into an insider-trading scheme."
"It used to be that wars were fought to make 'the world safe for democracy' or 'to end all wars' (a World War I expression), but now wars are fought so that Trump insiders can get rich quick in prediction markets or to help the president’s family (and its remittance men) corner the Persian Gulf oil market."

Pointing out who is profiting off inflating oil prices and creating false scarcity, Stevenson added:
