Pete Davidson is embracing a new chapter in his life as his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, revealed her pregnancy on July 16 with heartfelt photos showcasing Davidson smiling beside her and ultrasound images. Although Davidson rarely uses social media, he expressed his excitement about becoming a father, calling it a lifelong dream.
Davidson Openly Discusses Fatherhood and His Hopes
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 22, Davidson spoke candidly about how meaningful this moment is for him.
I honestly couldn’t be more excited,
Davidson said.
It’s been my dream forever since I was a little kid. The baby’s mother is one of my favorite people to ever exist ever. She’s going to be a great mom and I’m just stoked. I hope to be the dad I hoped that I would have.
Davidson’s perspective on fatherhood is deeply shaped by the loss of his own father, a firefighter who died during the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center when Davidson was just seven. He has often reflected on how this loss has influenced his life and career in comedy and television.
Impacts of the Pregnancy on Davidson’s Outlook
On the same day as the interview, Davidson also spoke about his forthcoming fatherhood during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He shared how expecting a child has shifted his priorities.
Everything else doesn’t really matter anymore,
Davidson remarked. It’s nice.
