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.

His girlfriend Elsie, a model, shared their baby news in an Instagram post with a photo of her sonogram
‘Everybody’s just been super excited for me, because they know it’s been my dream,’ Pete said of his comedy friends.
‘They all just have been like, “You’re going to be great at this. It’s the best thing you’ll ever do in your life.”
‘Sandler gave me some great advice,’ he added.
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.
