Pete Davidson is getting ready to step into fatherhood. The comedian and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, are expecting their first child together, and sources say the couple is “very, very happy” about starting a family.

According to PEOPLE, a source close to the couple shared that Davidson and Hewitt have been quietly celebrating the pregnancy with close friends and family. “They’re both very nurturing people and are very, very happy together and to be starting a family,” the insider said. “It’s a really sweet time after everything Pete has overcome. He’s so excited. He’s always wanted to be a dad.”

'He's grown up a lot' and ready for the next chapter

A second source told PEOPLE that Pete Davidson has matured significantly over the past few years and is embracing this next chapter in his life with intention. “He’s grown up a lot, and he’s so excited about this next chapter as a dad,” the source shared. “Pete and Elsie are happy and cannot wait to welcome their baby.”
