Hollywood comedian and actor Pete Davidson has opened up about his newfound happiness as a father, revealing how fatherhood has changed his perspective on life. The Saturday Night Live alum, known for his witty humor and high-profile relationships, shared in a recent interview that becoming a dad has been “the most fulfilling and grounding experience” of his life.
The 31-year-old actor, who welcomed his first child earlier this year with his girlfriend, actress Chase Sui Wonders, spoke candidly about the emotional transformation that parenthood has brought him. “Fatherhood feels amazing. It’s the first time I’ve felt truly at peace,” Davidson admitted. “Everything I do now is for my kid, and that gives me a new sense of purpose I’ve never experienced before.”
Known for his edgy stand-up routines and headline-making romantic life, Davidson appears to be embracing a calmer lifestyle. Friends close to the star revealed that he has scaled back on his social appearances, choosing instead to spend quality time at home. “Pete has always been a fun, carefree guy, but now he’s all about family. He’s incredibly hands-on and loves every minute of it,” an insider disclosed.
Davidson himself confirmed that fatherhood has forced him to slow down and rethink his priorities. “Before, I was constantly chasing the next big thing—work, fame, relationships. But now, holding my baby, all that noise just fades away. I just want to be present, to be the best dad I can be,” he shared.
Despite his devotion to fatherhood, Davidson assured fans that he is not stepping away from Hollywood entirely. The comedian is set to appear in the upcoming comedy film “The Home Stretch” later this year, but he emphasized that he is choosing his projects more carefully.
“I still love performing and making people laugh, but now I want to pick roles that won’t keep me away for too long. My baby deserves to have me around,” he said.
Fans have praised Davidson’s candidness, with many taking to social media to congratulate him on this new chapter of his life. The comedian, who has been open about his mental health struggles in the past, hinted that fatherhood has also been therapeutic.
“Being a dad makes me want to be healthier, happier, and just better all around,” Davidson revealed. “I’m learning patience, I’m learning unconditional love, and honestly, it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
With Davidson’s heartfelt confession, Hollywood watchers are already speculating whether fatherhood might inspire a new wave of family-themed comedy in his upcoming shows. For now, the star seems content to enjoy every milestone of parenting, proving that even comedy’s bad boy can find joy in lullabies and diaper changes.
