Still, Megan and MGK have been open about the prospect of expanding their family for several years—with Megan even opening up about a miscarriage the couple experienced together in her 2023 poetry book and MGK singing about it in his song “Don’t Let Me Go.”
And both MGK and Megan have expressed joy over parenthood ahead of their pregnancy news. For the rapper’s part, he has spoken highly of being a girl dad.
“You’re the first man she’s ever going to be in love with,” he reflected on the Impaulsive podcast. “You have this connection with her, where no matter what anybody does in her life, no matter who she marries, you’re always going to be the safe place for your daughter.”

“That kind of saved me honestly,” the 38-year-old reflected of becoming a mom at 26 to People in 2021. “I needed an escape.”
As she noted of becoming a mom, “It’s given me the ground that I needed to grow into something quite special.”
