MGK is celebrating one year sober!
Machine Gun Kelly is being real about his battle with alcohol, sharing that he checked into rehab last year.
On Bunnie Xo’s podcast, Dumb Blonde, the 34-year-old artist opened up about his issues with mental health and drinking, stating that he’s now “completely sober from everything.”
“I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t had a drink since last August,” said MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker. He mentioned that this was his first experience with rehab.
MGK also talked about his past struggles with alcohol, weed, and prescription meds like hydrocodone, Percocet, and Vyvanse.
Guess who was his biggest supporter during this past year, the one and only Megan Fox.
MGK really praised his on-and-off partner, Megan Fox, saying she’s been a huge support in his journey to stay sober, especially when it comes to dealing with his “psychological withdrawals,” theygossip.com reports.
I’ve got a question: does MGK’s journey relate to the rollercoaster of their relationship over the past year?
Let’s dive into a complete breakdown of MGK and Megan Fox’s tumultuous year together, while also uncovering everything the musician shared about her on the podcast.
