Pete Davidson is ready for his biggest role yet.
A week after his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt shared that they are expecting their first baby together, the Saturday Night Live alum shared just how excited he is to become a father.
At the New York premiere of The Home on July 22, he exclusively told E! News, "I'm very lucky and very, very happy."
Pete explained that he's looking forward to "being able to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn’t have. I assume you just try to give them what you didn’t have, and what you didn’t like, not do it."
Plus, he's got some great role models to turn to for advice, like fellow SNL dads Adam Sandler and Colin Jost.
"Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream," Pete told E!. "They all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing you'll ever do in your life.' Sandler gave me some great advice."
"It's been really nice that everyone's super excited," he continued. "When you do something, when we do anything, you want everyone to be excited, especially having a child."
Elsie revealed that she and Pete are preparing to grow their family when she posted a carousel of images on Instagram July 16, including a sonogram of their little one as well as a video clip showing Pete holding her hand as they look at their baby on an ultrasound monitor.
“Welp,” the model quipped in the caption, “now everyone knows we had sex.”
And if anyone is as excited as Pete and Elsie, it’s the comedian’s mom Amy Waters Davidson.
“Pete’s mom is thrilled,” a source with knowledge told E! News that same day. “She can’t wait to become a grandma!”
The couple’s big news came just four months after the pair sparked romance rumors while soaking up the sun together during a PDA-filled trip to Florida.
Within a matter of days, the two confirmed the speculation and went Instagram official with a subtle video shared to the Bupkis star’s Instagram Stories. In the clip, the couple appeared to be watching the opening credits of Rugrats before the 29-year-old panned the camera to her boyfriend walking into the room wearing nothing but a robe.
And while Pete and Elsie—who are living together in New York—have since shared an occasional glimpse into their sweet romance, the 31-year-old has previously expressed how difficult it can be to maintain relationships in the public eye.
“Everyone is dating everyone and it’s Hollywood,” Pete—who has been romantically linked to Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande—told Page Six in February. “But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell.”
Indeed, the King of Staten Island star—whose next movie The Home debuts July 25—expressed that he would much rather be recognized for his creative and professional accomplishments.
“It’s embarrassing because you want people to write about your work,” he continued. “I was one of the youngest ever cast members on SNL and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating.”
