The world of an A-list celebrity is an odd one.
You can know everything about them - their relationships, their whereabouts at any given moment and most of the micro habits that make up their entire persona.
So when they defer from the picture we've curated in our minds - or information we were previously not privvy to becomes the forefront of discussion, it can be a startling dose of reality.
Which is why it may come as no shock when fans erupted after learning "wild" rapper Machine Gun Kelly, 31, has a daughter who is just starting out her teenage years.
There was also their first kiss, which is slightly bizarre: "Even our first kiss, she wouldn’t kiss me," Kelly recalled. "We just put our lips right in front of each other and breathed each other’s breath and then she just left."
And it seems their relationship is as healthy as can be, considering they describe it as the "darkest fairytale" (which they also have both gotten tattooed on themselves, by the way).
"[I was] definitely open [to] love, but I did not anticipate walking right into my soulmate like that," Fox said. "I was obviously over the way I had been living, and those paths lined up, those doors opened. It was [as if] all the obstacles that had kept us apart all those years [had been removed] and we were able to finally intersect."
Fox is also a parent and shares three sons, Noah, Bodhi and Journey, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green.

Machine Gun Kelly's family life.
Of course if you are a fan of Kelly, then you'd be aware of his daughter, 13-year-old Casie. In fact, she was his first ever post after his rebrand on Instagram (a rebrand usually involves deleting all posts on social media to essentially 'start again').
"How is she mine wtf wtf #fathersday," he captioned the photo of them from 2019.
He welcomed his first child in 2008, when he was 19-years-old with Emma Cannon. While they are believed to have split when they were just teenagers, the rapper has made it clear he has a great respect for her, writing on Twitter in December 2020: "My daughter has an amazing mum, big love to all the young mums out there killin' it."
Kelly isn't shy in sharing his adoration of Casie too, posting pictures on Instagram and countless tweets in reference to his "princess".
In past interviews, he has made clear how important their relationship is, telling Billboard: "I’d say I did a lot of what I did with songs like ‘At My Best’ was because of the influence of my daughter. People gotta understand that as wild as I am, I still have to go home at night and there still is someone that is sitting there like, ‘I’m six years old and I can’t handle you being as gnarly as you are'."
He went on to say: "I wanted to make her proud, and a lot of fans saw that as soft, and it’s like, no, it’s the most beautiful thing you could do. [My music] is my gift as a father to my daughter."
"Here’s something that you can listen to that still has my pain in it and still is teaching you something that I want you to know. I’m not that great of a speaker, I don’t like watching my own interviews, I think I suck at talking, but one thing I can do is move my pen, and if that’s how I gotta speak to my daughter, then let me do that."
The 2021 American Music Awards was her first red carpet, and it proved to be a special one for Kelly, who won Favourite Rock Artist.
During his speech, he said: "I read a headline that said the age of the rock star is dead, but it looks pretty alive to me!"
You know what Mr Kelly? We couldn't agree more.
