Pete Davidson has been sober for over a year now, and fans are noticing a big difference. On September 23, the 31-year-old appeared on Theo Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend, and opened up about his journey. He said quitting his vices helped him feel more stable and ready to start a family with his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, 29.
“Thank God that I’m sober and where I am,” he said. He admitted that nobody ever feels fully ready for big life changes, but he’s grateful his sobriety came when it did, especially with Elsie.
Pete revealed he used to be a drug addict. He knew he had to change while reading news stories about himself in rehab. He realized that some of the things written about him were true. Losing friends over his behavior hit him hard. At first, it was people he didn’t really care about, but eventually, it was people he loved that pulled away. That’s when he realized the problem was his own actions.
He admitted that anyone who truly loved him often felt his worst side in the past. Fans watching the podcast noticed a positive change in him. Many commented online about how healthy and bright he looks now. Some mentioned how much better his skin, eyes, and overall energy appear. Others said they hope he continues his sobriety, especially with his first child on the way later this year.
Pete also used the podcast to defend actor Pedro Pascal. He talked about how quickly fans can turn on someone once they become famous. Davidson pointed out that Pascal has worked for decades and deserves time to adjust to his new level of fame. He reminded people that success doesn’t mean someone should immediately face criticism.
Overall, Pete seems healthier, more focused, and ready for the next chapter in his life, both as a father and as someone committed to staying sober.
