Pete Davidson is opening up about a vulnerable side of impending fatherhood. In his recent sit-down with The Breakfast Club on iHeartRadio, the comedian admitted he feels a heavy sense of guilt about how his fame has impacted girlfriend Elsie Hewitt’s pregnancy.
The Saturday Night Live alum revealed that while pregnancy should ideally be a private and joyous journey, Hewitt is having to navigate the added weight of public attention. “I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of s***. Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing,” Davidson confessed.
He went on to emphasize that Hewitt, who is naturally a private person, has not once complained or made him feel worse about the situation. Still, Davidson feels responsible: “She’s the one doing all the work. It’s supposed to be a beautiful experience, and I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy.”
How They Shared the News
The couple announced they were expecting their first child last month with a lighthearted Instagram post. The photo carousel featured candid snaps from a doctor’s visit, a sonogram, and intimate moments together. The caption read: “welp now everyone knows we had s-x.” According to reports, Hewitt is due in early winter.
