Pete Davidson is opening up about the emotional journey of expecting his first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt.
The comedian revealed that while the couple is thrilled about the pregnancy, he has struggled with guilt over how public attention has shaped the experience.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club, the former Saturday Night Live star admitted he felt “guilty” after Hewitt, 29, announced the pregnancy on Instagram last month. “I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of sh-t. Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing,” Davidson explained, noting that Hewitt is naturally private and deserves a more typical pregnancy.
Despite these concerns, Davidson emphasized how excited he is to step into fatherhood, calling it a lifelong dream. “The second I found out the news, I was like, ‘Oh wow, what I do is just a job,’” he said, adding that preparing for a child has given him a new sense of calm and purpose.
Davidson credited close friend Machine Gun Kelly for inspiring him with his approach to parenting, praising the musician’s dedication to his daughters. He also reflected on how becoming a dad has been his biggest goal, something he previously shared during a 2022 appearance on Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart.
According to sources, Davidson and Hewitt are “very happy” as they prepare to welcome their first baby. Their whirlwind romance began earlier this year, and the pair quickly became inseparable. For Davidson, who has long been candid about personal struggles, fatherhood represents a new chapter filled with stability and growth.
