Machine Gun Kelly says the imminent birth of his second child will be ‘bittersweet’ following the recent death of one of his best friends.

While mourning the loss of his longtime pal, Australian snowboarder Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath, 38, the rapper, 34, expressed his profound sadness that his ‘brother’ won’t be around to meet his and former fiancée Megan Fox’s baby, who is due any day.

‘Crazy… I didn’t even cry this hard when my dad died. I’ve lost a lot of friends, but I’ve never lost a brother,’ he wrote in an emotional Instagram tribute on Friday. 

He continued: ‘We’ll never get another Dingo on this planet. A true rockstar without ever needing to make a song, the most loyal, loud, charismatic, funny, and annoying human I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.’

‘I’ll miss your epic toasts, I’ll miss dapping you up and my hand hurting everytime because you had some odd amount of Australian strength goin on, I’ll miss your bellyflops, I’ll miss watching you walk through the door and lifting the energy of every pivotal event in my adult life, I’ll miss you pissing me off, but most of all I’ll miss your laugh. you were the glue between all of us.

Kelly went on to reflect on how telling his daughter, Casie, 15, the news was one of the ‘hardest phone calls’ he ever had to make because she loved him ‘so much.’

‘I’ll never forget when she was too young to understand your name was Dingo so she called you Ping Pong,’ he mused. 

‘I feel like your up there with my new child, dressed up in a hilarious costume making them laugh, getting ready to send them down. I couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet birth blessing,’ he added.

Despite the breakup, the insider insisted that MGK has ‘every intention’ of being an active part of his child’s life.

‘He and Megan have still been in communication,’ the source added. ‘He loves Megan and wants nothing more than to be a family unit.’

Megan’s sister Kristi, 50, lives her life out of the spotlight as a guidance counselor.

They split two weeks after they revealed they were expecting their first child together. 

While the two have been texting from time to time as they await the birth of their baby, the Jennifer’s Body star has made it clear that she will never get back together with him.

‘Megan is moving forward independently and is not interested in revisiting the past,’ a source told Us Weekly last month.

‘Megan is focused on her pregnancy and not looking back. She is deeply hurt by how things ended but is focusing on healing.’

And while the actress is setting her sights on the future and moving on, MGK is on the other side of the spectrum.

The rapper is reportedly ‘struggling’ to accept his new reality and is attempting to repurpose ‘his energy into self-improvement.

‘He has been focusing on mental health and getting back in shape,’ the source insisted. ‘He’s heartbroken but trying to move forward.’

With her baby on the way, the Subservience star is ‘taking extra care of herself and focusing on a healthy pregnancy.’

And insiders suggest she’s prioritizing a calm and healthy environment until further notice.

The couple have been on-off over the years but sources say Megan is not interested in another reconciliation.

‘MGK would like to reconcile, but Megan is firm in her decision to move on,’ the source said. ‘She does not see a future with him anymore. She doesn’t want to put herself in the same position again with him anymore. She wants to break the cycle.’

Megan was formerly married to Beverly Hills 90210 star Brian Austin Green, 51.

They share kids Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, eight, and were famously on and off, breaking up once during their engagement and once during their marriage and reconciling both times.

Megan and MGK first connected in 2020 after working on the film Midnight in the Switchgrᴀss together.

MGK proposed in 2022 and during their engagement, they broke up and got back together several times.

Fox revealed that she suffered a pregnancy loss in November 2023 that took a toll on her and Kelly’s relationship.

‘I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately and together and apart,’ Fox said in an interview with Good Morning America.

‘Trying to navigate, “What does this mean?” and “Why did this happen?”‘

According to Us Weekly’s source, even though Fox and Kelly are no longer a couple, their baby is the ‘greatest gift’ they still share.
