Machine Gun Kelly is officially the father of a teenager.
The singer, 32, celebrated his daughter Casie’s 13th birthday on Sunday with a touching tribute.
“Happy 13th birthday my dear,” Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, wrote via Instagram Stories, calling herself a “proud dad.”
In the social media upload, Casie hugged her dad as he delivered a cake reading, “OMG YOU’RE A TEEN.”
Kelly also shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with the teen in which she enjoyed another cake wishing her the “happiest 13th birthday”.
The “Emo Girl” singer welcomed his daughter with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon in July 2009.
He called Casie his “best friend” while wishing her a happy birthday 11 years later.
Casie spoke fondly of her father in his June documentary, “Life is Pink,” but acknowledged that Kelly is a busy parent who is “addicted” to his career.
“He’s always working,” she said. “[Even though] stops using drugs, he becomes addicted to doing other things to give that feeling. He is addicted to tobacco and addicted to work.”
The film followed Kelly’s efforts to maintain work-life balance, from attending Casie’s volleyball games to calling her for video chats.
“When I’m with her, nothing else matters,” the musician said in a 2015 interview. “No matter how many af-k-up people say I am, I pray I have the bond I didn’t have with my parents with my child.”
The rocker’s father died in July 2020.
As for his mother, Kelly is currently restoring his relationship with her. The duo reunited last month after 20 years of estrangement.
