Pete Davidson Dishes on Baby News: A-list Advice from Adam Sandler!

Pete Davidson's Baby Bombshell: Comedian Spills Secrets on Fatherhood and Reveals Adam Sandler's Surprising Advice

In a shocking turn of events, Pete Davidson has finally opened up about becoming a father with his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, confirming the news that left fans stunned last week. The 31-year-old comedian and former Saturday Night Live star dished out details on his upcoming parenthood during the premiere of his new film, The Home, in New York City.

"I'm very lucky and very, very happy," Pete gushed to E! News on the red carpet. "I'm excited about being able to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have."

During the premiere of his new film The Home on Tuesday in NYC, the comedian, 31, gushed about how happy he was since learning he will be a father, and he also revealed some of his famous friends who have given him with advice for a new baby; seen with Elsie in May in NYC

When asked if he's received any advice from fellow comedian friends, Pete revealed that Adam Sandler has been a font of wisdom. "Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream," Pete shared. "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.'"

Adam Sandler, who has two daughters with his wife Jackie, should certainly know a thing or two about fatherhood. "Sandler gave me some great advice," Pete revealed.

But amidst all the excitement and congratulations, Pete's past relationship drama with Colin Jost couldn't help but raise eyebrows. The former Saturday Night Live duo once seemed inseparable, with Pete even gifting Colin a pricey Cartier watch as an alleged "olive branch" after their mysterious falling out in 2024.

His girlfriend Elsie, a model, shared their baby news in an Instagram post with a photo of her sonogram

However, insiders claim that their friendship was never particularly close to begin with, primarily due to their differing personalities and work schedules. Still, it's unclear whether Colin has been offering his friend any advice on fatherhood – or if he's even spoken to Pete since the news broke.

Pete's own relationship with Elsie Hewitt has been a whirlwind romance, with the couple going public in March after just a few months of dating. The 29-year-old model and influencer has been making waves in the industry with her stunning looks and impressive acting chops.

Before meeting Pete, Elsie had been linked to music producer Benny Blanco and even sparked rumors of a romance with Jason Sudeikis last year. But it seems she's found her perfect match in the comedian – or at least, that's what her Instagram posts suggest.

'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.'

In recent weeks, Elsie has shared adorable photos and videos of herself and Pete, including a shirtless snap of him cradling her baby bump from behind. She even documented their ultrasound appointment, complete with romantic shots of the couple looking lovestruck.

"Welcome to the world, little dude!" she captioned one photo, before quipping in another, "Welp now everyone knows we had sex!"

As Pete prepares for his new role as a father, it's clear that he's embracing this chapter of his life with open arms – and a healthy dose of humor. After all, who better to offer advice on parenthood than Adam Sandler?

'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
