Megan Fox is said to be "gripped with terror" her infant daughter could grow up without a father after her ex-partner, Machine Gun Kelly, posted a photo appearing to show him driving at 123mph – a move friends describe as reckless and deeply unsettling, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Machine Gun Kelly, 35 – born Colson Baker – shared the image with his more than nine million Instagram followers on January 29, 2026.
Machine Gun Kelly, born Colson Baker, posted a photo showing a speedometer at 123mph.
The blurred photograph, taken from behind a steering wheel, showed a speedometer reading 123mph. Shortly afterward, he posted a black-and-white selfie in which he appeared to be smoking what looked like a joint or hand-rolled cigarette.
The posts arrived amid renewed scrutiny of his personal life following the breakdown of his relationship with Fox, 39.
The former couple welcomed their daughter, Saga Blade, in March 2025. Their romantic relationship reportedly ended in November 2024 after Fox allegedly discovered Baker had been messaging other women during her pregnancy.
A source has said they haven't been together for a long time and are now "all about co-parenting." But according to those close to Fox, the high-speed post has shaken her.
'It's About Safety'
Fox has worried about the safety of their daughter, Saga Blade.
One insider told us, "Megan was horrified when she saw the image. Her immediate thought was not about headlines – it was about her daughter. The idea that Saga could lose her father because of a split-second decision terrifies her."
The source added, "Megan is already navigating life as a single mother again. The thought of something catastrophic happening because of risky behavior feels unbearable. It's not about control – it's about safety and responsibility."
Meghan Fox Left 'Shaken' Over How 'Quickly Things Can Change'
Fox has prioritized stability for her four children.
Fox also shares three sons – Noah, 13, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9 – with her former husband Brian Austin Green. Friends said her focus remains firmly on stability.
Another source said, "Megan is completely centered on motherhood right now. Every decision she makes is filtered through the lens of her children's wellbeing – not just today, but years down the line. She's thinking about stability, consistency, and creating an environment where her kids feel safe and grounded."
"She's always been protective, but since welcoming Saga, that instinct has intensified. She's hyper-aware of how fragile life can be and how quickly things can change. So when she sees actions that look impulsive or risky, it doesn't just worry her – it genuinely shakes her."
"In her mind, it's not about judging or controlling anyone's choices. It's about the ripple effect. If something were to happen, it wouldn't just impact him - it would impact four children who rely on him. That awareness is constantly at the forefront for her, and it's why behavior that appears dangerous hits such a deep nerve."

Fox and MGK are said to have grown closer through co-parenting
Despite her split from MGK, insiders previously suggested Fox and Baker had grown closer through co-parenting. But friends remain skeptical about a full reconciliation. The singer also shares a 16-year-old daughter, Casie, with his former partner Emma Cannon.
A source close to Fox said, "At the heart of all of this is something very simple - Megan wants her ex safe, steady, and around for the long haul. She isn't thinking about headlines or images. She's thinking about her daughter and his other child, and the kind of father they deserve to have in their lives."
"Megan knows he loves his kids deeply, and she wants him to be able to show up for them consistently – for birthdays, for school events, for the everyday moments that actually matter. That's where her anxiety comes from. It's the fear of something avoidable taking that away," the insider added.
"She doesn't want Saga growing up hearing stories about how things could have been different if he'd just made safer choices. Megan wants her daughter to have memories, not myths. For Megan, this is about protecting her child from future heartbreak and making sure there are no regrets that can't be undone."
