Pete Davidson is ready for fatherhood. At the New York City premiere of his new horror movie The Home on July 22, Davidson said that he “couldn’t be more excited” about becoming a dad.
“As you know, it’s been my dream forever since I was a little kid,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “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. And I hope to be the dad that I hoped that I would have.”
He shared with E! that he’s “very lucky and very, very happy.” Davidson also said that he can’t wait to “take care of something and show it the childhood I didn’t have.”
His good friends, like Adam Sandler, have also given him some parenting tips. “Everybody’s just been super excited for me, because they know it’s been my dream,” he added. “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.”
The support extends to his family, too. A source shared with E! that his mom is “thrilled” and “can’t wait to become a grandma.”
The baby news broke last week when his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, announced that they are expecting their first child on Instagram. “Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” she wrote in her caption. The couple was first linked in March when they were spotted on vacation in Palm Beach, Florida.
Davidson revealed that they first met through mutual friends. “We weren’t really looking for anything and we immediately were just like, ‘Oh, wow.’”
He continued, “I would say she’s female me, and I’m male her. We just laugh all day.”
Davidson’s movie, The Home, hits theaters this Friday, July 25.
