Pete Davidson is finally speaking out about becoming a father after his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt revealed they were expecting their first child together last week.
During the premiere of his new film The Home on Tuesday in New York City, the 31-year-old comedian gushed about how happy he was since learning he will be a first-time father, and he also revealed a famous friend who have showered him with advice for a new baby.
‘I’m very lucky and very, very happy,’ he said while speaking with E! News on the red carpet.
The former Saturday Night Live star said he was excited about ‘being able to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn’t have.’
‘I assume you just try to give them what you didn’t have, and what you didn’t like, not do it,’ he added.
He has some star pals who will help him do just that, as he revealed that Adam Sandler had given him some advice on fatherhood.

Sandler — who attended the premiere of his new comedy Happy Gilmore 2 on Monday night — should have plenty of experience, as he and his wife Jackie share two daughters.
‘It’s been really nice that everyone’s super excited,’ Pete continued. ‘When you do something, when we do anything, you want everyone to be excited, especially having a child.’
It’s unclear if Pete’s old friend Colin Jost could also be a source of advice as he approaches fatherhood.
The two once appeared to be good friends, particularly during their stint together on SNL, and they later collaborated on buying a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry in 2022.
But in 2024, it was reported that the two had had a mysterious falling out.

‘Something big happened, and Colin is now refusing to be in the same building, let alone the same room as Pete,’ an insider told The Sun at the time.
In March, the publication reported that the King Of Staten Island star had shelled out an eye-popping $20,000 on a Cartier wristwatch as an alleged ‘olive branch’ to his former pal.

However, sources told TMZ around the same time that their friendship had been harmed when Colin struggled to handle Pete’s mental health issues and repeat rehab stints.
The two were allegedly back on solid ground by the time Pete gave the Weekend Update co-host the pricey watch, which sources said was more of a ‘mea culpa’ than a true ‘olive branch.’
The two are allegedly friends again, but insiders claimed their friendship was never particularly close to begin with, as it was primarily a work friendship that became more distant once Pete was no longer part of SNL.
However, not that they’re said to be on each other’s good sides again, Colin — who shares one child with his wife Scarlett Johansson — might be happy to give his friend some pointers.
Pete’s baby news was particularly shocking as he and Elsie, 29, have reportedly only been dating for a few months.
On top of that, the former SNL star’s relationship with the London-born model follows a string of short-lived romances with rising stars.

Pete Davidson is going to be a dad! Star expecting first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt
She was born in England but later moved with her family to Los Angeles when she was 10, before taking her first stab at modeling in her teens.
Since then, she has cultivated a diverse portfolio with a stint as Miss June for Playboy in 2017, followed by a high-profile campaign for Guess in 2018. That year, she looked back on her road to success in a Facebook post.
‘When I started modeling I couldn’t get an agent. I met with every single agency in LA and time and time again I was told my “look just isn’t right,” I’m “too commercial,” “too curvy,” “not a good fit,” etc,’ she wrote. ‘The point is I didn’t take no for an answer, I set many goals for myself in modeling, and Guess was a big one. It’s special to me to work with a company that embodies empowerment and confidence in the same way.’
After some work in short videos, Elsie’s first big role was in the TV series Turnt in 2018, followed by an appearance in the 2020 film Teenage Bada**.
The brunette beauty then played a version of herself in two episodes of the Hulu comedy Dave beginning in 2020, and last year she appeared as a guest star in an episode of HBO’s acclaimed financial drama Industry.

Elsie has previously been open about her own struggles with endometriosis. The condition can make it difficult to conceive and increases the risk of miscarriage and preterm birth
Elsie has previously been open about suffering from the condition, and Pete was there by her side for support.
Endometriosis occurs when the endometrium, the tissue that grows to create the lining of the uterus, begins growing outside of the uterine cavity and on neighboring reproductive organs.
The growths can damage the organs and also cause excruciatingly painful periods with heavy bleeding for sufferers, and it also can make getting pregnant significantly more difficult for affected women, though the impact on fertility depends on the severity of the endometriosis.
In addition to struggling to conceive, women with endometriosis are at an increased risk of miscarrying or having premature births.
Since Elsie and Pete’s red carpet appearance, the two have kept a relatively low profile.
That all changed on Wednesday, when she shared a photo of a shirtless Pete cradling her tummy from behind as he rested his head affectionately on hers.
A subsequent video featured the two at an ultrasound appointment as their baby appeared on a video screen, and Elsie followed it up with a copy of her sonogram.
She rounded out the post with a bevy of romantic shots of her and Pete looking lovestruck.
