They say it takes a village to raise a child and apparently it takes Bernie Sanders to save Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox’s romance. The 31-year-old musician, whose real name is Colson Baker, appears on Wednesday’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he is asked about keeping his girlfriend’s blood in a necklace.

“She was actually going out of town to film a movie, and this was really new in our relationship,” Kelly explains. “I didn’t have a passport either, so she was going to Bulgaria and so I was kind of like freaking out, like, ‘Oh, you’re going to leave and I can’t even come to see you.’ Some people give a handkerchief to their partner. She gave me her DNA.”

But their long distance romance was short lived thanks to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders!

“You know who helped me get a passport? Bernie Sanders. I haven’t even talked to him since this happened,” Kelly shares. “Thank you so much. Thank you to the Bernie Sanders team for that. I made it to Bulgaria and the relationship’s going strong, so thank you so much.”

Kelly didn’t offer any further explanation into how the senator helped him, but he did open up about his adventure-seeking first few dates with his girlfriend. After photos surfaced of the pair climbing over a balcony of a three-story building, Kelly reveals that the moment actually happened on his first date with Fox.

“I saw this roof and I was like, ‘Aww, I used to hang up there and I just want you to come and see my world for a minute,'” Kelly explains. “The door was locked so we had to scaffold around. It was very dangerous.”

The moment was nothing compared to the couple’s second date when they swam with the sharks in Bora Bora.

“She loves nature, she’s very in tune with the earth, and I’m scared of sharks so we went swimming with sharks,” he says. “I’m not a nature boy yet… I committed and we swam with sharks.”

When host DeGeneres asks for clarification on whether the couple was in a cage, Kelly jokes, “Remember when you were Dory?”

“I do,” the comedian says of her animated fish character in the 2016 animated movie Finding Dory and its 2003 predecessor, Finding Nemo.

“I was Dory, and there was no one else but me and her,” he says.
