Pete Davidson is stepping into a new role—fatherhood—and he’s leaning on a familiar face for guidance: his longtime friend Machine Gun Kelly. The comedian, known for his offbeat humor and candid personality, is reportedly expecting his first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, and those close to him say he’s embracing the journey with intention and optimism.
While the couple hasn’t made a public announcement, sources say they’ve been preparing quietly behind the scenes. Davidson, 31, is said to be “over the moon” about the next chapter in his life, approaching it with the same mix of heart and humor that fans have come to love.
Providing encouragement throughout the transition is musician and actor Machine Gun Kelly, also known as Colson Baker. The two have been close for years, often seen together at events, collaborating on projects, and supporting each other personally and professionally. MGK, who has a teenage daughter of his own, has reportedly been a steady source of parenting advice and emotional support. Those familiar with their friendship say his advice has been simple and effective: be present, stay grounded, and trust your instincts.
Their bond has grown over the years—from appearances in films to frequent outings on the red carpet—and now, it’s expanding into something deeper as Davidson prepares to become a dad. Friends say Davidson sees the arrival of his child as a turning point, bringing him clarity and stability at a time when he's focused on growth.
Known for being open about his mental health and addiction recovery, Davidson appears to be approaching fatherhood with a new sense of purpose. He and Hewitt have reportedly begun getting their Los Angeles home ready, enlisting support from family and friends while keeping the process private.
Although details about the baby’s due date remain under wraps, fans have started to show their support online, celebrating what many see as a meaningful evolution in Davidson’s life and career.
Whether or not fatherhood makes its way into his future comedy sets, those close to him say Davidson is embracing this next phase with authenticity, gratitude, and a circle of friends who’ve got his back—none more so than MGK.
