Pete Davidson’s entire world shifted after he became a girl dad — though some aspects of his life as a father were admittedly more surprising than others.
“I haven’t done stand-up in 5 months because I just had a baby; it’s a lot of fun,” Davidson, 32, said during his Saturday, April 11, comedy show at Las Vegas’ The Fontainebleau, per footage obtained by Us Weekly. “[I] got a little girl. It’s weird having a little girl. It’s hard to watch porn … in front of her.”
Nevertheless, Davidson said that he persisted.
“I still did. I power through,” the comedian quipped, reiterating that fatherhood “is great.”
Davidson’s girlfriend, Elise Hewitt, gave birth to the couple’s first baby, daughter Scottie Rose, in December 2025. Davidson and Hewitt, 29, named their baby after the Saturday Night Live alum’s late father. (Pete’s dad, Scott Davidson, was a firefighter who died in the line of duty while responding to the deadly September 2001 terrorist attacks.)
“The best thing I’ve been telling people is [that Scottie is] the biggest gift,” Davidson exclusively told Us Weekly in January of life as a father. “Nothing else matters as much or intensely, like career, activities, hanging out with people [or] what do people think of me, that sort of s***. I still want to do cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long do I have to be away?’ Or ‘Is this worth being away?’”
Pete further gushed that it had been “f***ing awesome” watching Hewitt effortlessly step into her role as a mom.
“The whole time I was very sure and knew that she would be great at being a mom. She’s very caring and, almost to a fault, puts everybody else’s needs first,” Pete told Us of Hewitt, whom he started dating in early 2025. “So, it’s really just sweet to see how on top of things she is, and … if [Scottie is] crying, [Elsie] knows exactly what to do. She has, like, little tricks that get her to relax or calm down, and all that stuff is really f***ing cool to watch and see.”
Pete added at the time, “She definitely will wake up every three, four hours just to check the Nanit [baby monitor] like, no matter what, the Nanit app is open on Elsie’s phone. She’s always making sure that the baby’s all set. … She genuinely enjoys it, which is great, and we both do.”
Pete and Hewitt also have aspirations of expanding their family further.
“We want her to have a friend, for sure. We love the idea of her being a big sister,” Pete told Us weeks later in January. “I didn’t think I would already think about having another one. The idea of that sounds absolutely insane right now. … The process of giving birth is so insane, but so empowering once it happens. Just having this little thing, I really can’t explain how incredible the whole thing is.”
