Pete Davidson has "never been more excited for anything" as he prepares to become a father for the first time

Speaking on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Wednesday (06.08.25), the comedian and actor said: "I'm stoked. I can't wait. Let's go.

"I'm so excited. I've never been more excited for anything."

Pete also recalled a recent exchange with Eddie Murphy, his co-star in the upcoming film The Pickup, who left him hanging when it came to dishing out any parenting advice.

He added: "Eddie was like, 'I got no advice for you. Because you're on your own'.

"He was like, 'You can't tell anyone how to (be a parent.) You know, you're gonna do your own thing.'"

Pete and Elsie made their first public appearance as a couple since announcing their pregnancy on 16 July, walking the red carpet together last week.

Elsie wore a fitted black dress showing her baby bump, while Pete appeared in a brown Sergio Tacchini tracksuit.

A source told Us Weekly in July while the pregnancy had not been planned, the couple were "over the moon" and "so excited".

The insider added: "Pete and Elsie have a really playful relationship, and things are going really well.

"It's a healthy relationship for Pete. Pete has always wanted to be a dad and thinks the timing in his life is perfect. He couldn't have done it a few years ago but is in a very different place in life now."

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in July, Pete said: "It's been my dream forever since I was a little kid. The baby's mother is one of my favorite people to ever exist ever."

He added Elsie was "going to be a great mom" and said: "I hope to be a, you know, the dad I hoped that I would have."

Pete was seven years old when his father, Scott Davidson, died in the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.

In a 2020 interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Pete said he wanted to raise a child so he could "be there for something or do something that I didn't have growing up".

Two years later, in an appearance on Kevin Hart's Hart to Heart, Pete said: "I'm definitely a family guy. My favourite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, I wanna have a kid.

"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. That's kind of what I'm just preparing for now, is just trying to be as good as a dude, develop and get better so when that happens it's just easier."
