Pete Davidson is leaning into fatherhood with his usual unfiltered sense of humor.

During a recent stand-up appearance in Las Vegas, the comedian opened up about life since welcoming his first child, sharing that becoming a "girl dad" has shifted how he looks at certain things, including his own habits.

Speaking to the crowd, Davidson joked that watching adult content has become a different experience now that he has a daughter, admitting it's difficult watching porn through that new perspective.

"I have a little girl. It's weird having a little girl," said Davidson in a clip obtained by TMZ. "It's hard to watch porn in front of her, but I powered through."

The moment drew laughs from the audience and quickly went viral, with fans reacting to Davidson's typically candid take on parenting. The set marked one of his first returns to the stage since he and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, welcomed their daughter, Scottie Rose, in December 2025. By all accounts, Davidson has embraced the new role, adding, "It's a lot of fun," reflecting on the first few months of being a dad during his latest stand-up routine.

Known for blending personal experiences into his comedy, Davidson's latest material continues that trend, this time pulling from the realities of adjusting to fatherhood while still finding humor in everyday life.

His relationship with Hewitt has also drawn attention, particularly for how quickly things progressed. During a past Q&A, Hewitt revealed she made a bold prediction early on in their relationship, telling Davidson on their first date that she believed he would be the father of her children.

The couple went public with their relationship in early 2025 and later announced they were expecting with a tongue-in-cheek social media post. Hewitt has since been open about the challenges of pregnancy, sharing that it had been physically difficult at times.
