Who Does He Hang Out With?
The musician is close pals with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. On top of that, he’s formed a close bond with Travis Barker.

In 2022, MGK proposed to Megan, and the Jennifer’s Body star shared a video of him getting down on one knee.
“We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma,” Megan wrote alongside the clip. “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.”
While the two have been off and on over the years, they announced they were expecting their first child together in November 2024.
On November 11, 2024, Megan posted two photos. In one, she showed off her growing baby bump followed by a photo of her positive pregnancy test.
