Pete Davidson reacts to his 'dream' of becoming a father coming true: 'Everybody's just been superexcited for me'
He and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, are expecting their first child, she revealed July 16 on social media.
"Everybody's just been superexcited for me, because they know it's been my dream," Davidson told E! News on Tuesday. "I'm very lucky and very, very happy."
So what have his supporters been saying?
"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,'" Davidson said, noting that former SNL star Adam Sandler gave him "some great advice."
(Sandler and his wife, Jackie, are the parents of two teenage daughters: Sadie, 19, and Sunny, 16.)
Davidson said he's delighted 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."
"[I'm] definitely a family guy," Davidson told Kevin Hart in a July 2022 episode of talk show Hart to Heart.
"My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, I wanna have a kid," Davidson said. "That's like my dream. It's like, super corny, [but] it would be so fun. Dress up the little dude. I'm so excited for that chapter."He said he's wanted to have a kid since his own father died in the 9/11 attacks when he was 7.
The star of upcoming horror movie The Home has dated Hewitt, at least publicly, since March. They've been spotted cheering on the New York Knicks and supporting Dave Navarro at his wedding in Scotland.
Davidson had previously expressed disenchantment with his celebrity lifestyle and being known for his romantic entanglements. He said he had become "oversaturated" in a December 2024 interview with W Magazine.
"When you're first coming up, and getting all these offers, it's hard to say no, because you're hungry. I made the mistake of doing literally everything. Now I'm older and wiser, and I'm realizing that less is more," he said.
"I just want to be known for doing good work," Davidson continued. "I want to be out there only when it's a movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That's when I want to be seen. I don't want to be this f---ing loser who just dates people. That's not who I am."
Davidson had previously been in high-profile relationships with such stars as Emily Ratajkowski, Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, and Kim Kardashian.

WWE honors Hulk Hogan with another tribute on Monday Night Raw
WWE continues to pay tribute to one of its icons, Hulk Hogan. The wrestling company honored Hogan at the start of Monday Night Raw on July 28 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, four days after his death. The Raw roster came out in the arena to kick off the show, with WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque speaking about Hogan's impact of wrestling. "We lost one of the biggest and most globally recognized icons in the world. A man I grew up watching was fortunate enough to share the ring with and like so many of us were honored to call a friend," Levesque said. "He captivated millions of people and inspired them around the globe. We would not be standing here right now, all of us together, if it was not for him." The honorary 10-bell salute then rang as people in the crowd held up signs and chanted Hogan. Also with the roster was Hogan's son, Nick, and longtime friend and WCW collaborator Eric Bischoff. A tribute video also played highlighting the biggest moments of his Hogan's career, along with other moments outside of the ring. It was the second tribute for Hogan after one was done at Friday Night SmackDown on July 25, the day after his death. Hogan died at the age of 71 after he suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Considered one of the biggest wrestling stars in history, he was a six-time WWE Champion and inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, in 2005 for himself and in 2020 as part of the New World Order.

Today's Wordle #1501 Hints And Answer For Tuesday, July 29th
How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Monday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: How To Solve Today's Wordle Tuesday is here and we have a Wordle to solve. In unrelated news, I watched the new Netflix movie Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to the Adam Sandler golf-comedy classic, and made a video review that you can watch right here if you're interested. I've been making more videos lately. I once even toyed with the idea of doing Wordle guides on my YouTube channel but decided against it. In any case, it's Wordle time! Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Today's Wordle Hints And Answer Wordle Bot's Starting Word: SLATE My Starting Word Today: SPAIN (404 words remaining, like an error page online). The Hint: This is the end. The Clue: This Wordle begins and ends with a vowel. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. It's still funny to me that SPAIN works for a Wordle guess since most proper nouns do not. It wasn't a very good opener today, leaving me with 404 remaining solutions. CHORE was very lucky, however, slashing that number down to just one: OMEGA for the win! Today's Wordle Bot We flip the tables once again. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me. Our totals as we near the end of July come to: Erik: 10 points Wordle Bot: 8 points This is seriously anybody's game! The word "omega" comes from Greek: ō mega (ὦ μέγα), meaning "great O" — with ō (ὦ) being the long "o" sound and mega (μέγα) meaning "great." It was used to distinguish it from omicron (ο μικρόν), meaning "small o." In the Greek alphabet, omega (Ω, ω) is the last letter, symbolizing the end or finality.
