If you felt the ground tremble slightly on July 22, that wasn’t tectonic activity—it was the internet reacting to Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly landing in Costa Rica with their infant daughter, Saga Blade. The on-again, off-again pair were photographed at Liberia International Airport (LIR) in Guanacaste on what looked very much like a family vacation—eight months after their most recent split. Reports now suggest the two are “working to reconcile,” though neither is slapping a label on it just yet.
Below, we break down what’s confirmed, what’s still rumor, and why Costa Rica keeps popping up in this couple’s timeline.
What We Know So Far
- They traveled to Costa Rica as a trio. Multiple outlets ran photos and video of Fox, MGK (real name Colson Baker), and their baby at Liberia Airport on July 22, 2025. That’s a busy gateway to the Pacific beaches of Guanacaste—Tamarindo, Nosara, and Santa Teresa among the usual suspects for celebrity hideaways.
- “Reconciliation” is in play—but unofficial. Several entertainment outlets cite sources saying the trip was a “big step” toward getting back together. The consistent line: things feel “back to normal,” they’re “being intimate,” but they’re not officially calling it. Translation: it’s complicated, but trending positive.
- Yes, there’s a baby. After months of tabloid whiplash, the pair confirmed the name of their daughter: Saga Blade Fox-Baker. She was born in March 2025. MGK discussed fatherhood and referenced Saga in lyrics released this week—more on that below.
The Timeline: Whirlwind Romance, Messy Split, New Chapter
Fox and MGK began dating in 2020, got engaged in 2022, and then life happened—public arguments, rumors, and an eventually acknowledged split around late 2024. By March 2025, they welcomed Saga Blade, with both parents stepping into co-parenting while press and fans speculated about their status. In July 2025, they’re photographed in Costa Rica together with their daughter, and insiders suggest the trip is part vacation, part relationship reset.
If you’re trying to do the relationship math: November 2024 to July 2025 is eight months—right in line with the “eight months after their last split” framing repeated in recent coverage. It’s not a fairy tale, but it is consistent.
MGK Just Put Feelings on Record—Literally
On August 8, 2025, MGK released his new album “Lost Americana.” It’s raw, personal, and full of references to Fox, fatherhood, and the turbulence of the past year. In the track “Treading Water,” he talks about the breakup, rehab, and vows to change—“for Saga”—which is about as unambiguous as lyrics get. It won’t certify a reunion, but it does show where his head (and heart) might be.
If you’re wondering whether Fox is simply a subject here—nope. She’s credited creatively on at least one track, an interesting footnote for a couple “not putting a label on it.” That collaboration suggests the door is open, and not just for small talk at a pediatric appointment. People.com
Why Costa Rica, Again?
Longtime followers will remember: this isn’t their first meaningful Costa Rica moment. Back in 2021, Fox publicly discussed traveling here with MGK to participate in an ayahuasca ceremony—an experience she described as intense and perspective-shifting. Whether you view that as wellness, curiosity, or just an adventurous vacation, Costa Rica clearly occupies a particular headspace for these two. Returning now—with a child—feels symbolically tidy.
And logistically? Costa Rica is celebrity-friendly: short flights from the U.S., reliable high-end villas with privacy, and discreet service professionals who know when to look away. Liberia’s proximity to top surf towns and secluded beaches makes it an easy base for families trying to dodge the long lens.
What the Trip Might Mean (and What It Doesn’t)
What it likely means:
- Co-parenting is functional. You don’t hop on an international flight with a four-month-old if you can’t be in the same room, never mind the same Airbnb, without drama.
- They’re testing the waters privately. Travel forces routine: shared meals, childcare logistics, bedtimes, airport meltdowns, and the noble quest to find a pacifier that has decided to live under the rental car seat. If you can collaborate on that, you can collaborate on a relationship.
- They value familiarity. Returning to a country associated with past “big talks” points to comfort and maybe a shared sense of reset.
What it doesn’t guarantee:
- A renewed engagement, a second ring, or a photo-op reveal. If anything, both have consistently pushed back against public labeling. Sources keep repeating the same phrasing: there’s progress, not proclamations. Yahoo
About Saga Blade: The Name, the Baby, the Narrative
The name Saga Blade sparked the obvious questions. MGK has said the choice was inspired by storytelling—“saga” as epic narrative—and, well, “blade” as the sharp edge of life’s plot twists. Whether you think it’s metal, poetic, or both depends on your playlist. Either way, he’s been vocal about how fatherhood (to both Casie and Saga) reframed his priorities and helped push him toward rehab and healthier habits.
Fox, for her part, has earned public credit from MGK for doing the heavy lifting of newborn life—an acknowledgment that seems to resonate in his lyrics and interviews, even as tabloids try to pit them against each other for clicks. Keep that in mind as you skim headlines. KISS 107.9
Celebrity Couples in Costa Rica: A Quick Reality Check
Costa Rica’s reputation as a celebrity reset button isn’t just hype. Between the national parks, low-key hospitality, and just enough infrastructure to make bringing an infant feasible, it’s tailor-made for a couple that’s trying to have a normal week in a not-so-normal life. The country also has a history of welcoming famous visitors without turning their itinerary into a scavenger hunt for paparazzi—unless you walk through a public airport, in which case, yes, BACKGRID will find you.

Are They “Back Together”?
Short answer: Not officially—yet. Longer answer: Momentum matters. You don’t take a transnational family trip with a newborn just for optics. Add in MGK’s public contrition on a new album, Fox’s creative involvement, and the familiar setting of Costa Rica, and you get a picture that looks less like a press strategy and more like two people genuinely trying.
Could this still end with a polite “we’re better as friends” post? Absolutely. Could it also lead to a quieter, less Instagram-forward era of their relationship? Also yes. For now, the smart read is cautious optimism.
For Fans Visiting Costa Rica (Since You’re Already Googling Flights)
If this story nudged Costa Rica up your bucket list, here’s a quick, practical aside:
- Airports: Liberia (LIR) for Guanacaste’s Pacific coast; San José (SJO) for the Central Valley and the Caribbean side.
- Family-friendly bases: Tamarindo (walkable and easy), Nosara (wellness and surf), Papagayo (luxury resorts).
- Privacy tip: Even public figures find it here. Act like a local—respectful, friendly, no intrusive photos—and you’ll fit right in.
And yes, the coffee’s great. Order two—one for you and one for whatever the baby just spilled.
The Bottom Line
- Fact: Fox and MGK were seen arriving in Costa Rica with Saga Blade on July 22.
- Fact: Multiple reports say the trip was a “big step” toward reconciliation, but no labels are being used.
- Fact: MGK’s new album “Lost Americana” addresses the breakup, fatherhood, and change, with Fox contributing creatively.
- Context: The couple has previous history in Costa Rica—including a much-discussed ayahuasca visit years ago.
We’ll keep watching—discreetly—while they do the far more important job of being parents and figuring out whether “exes” becomes “us” again.
