Machine Gun Kelly reacted to the news that his friend Pete Davidson is expecting baby No. 1 with his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt — and the rapper is looking forward to arranging a playdate between his daughter and the Saturday Night Live alum’s future child.
Hewitt, 29, revealed via Instagram on Wednesday, July 16, that she and the comedian are expecting a baby together. Hours after the announcement, MGK — who recently welcomed daughter Saga Blade with ex Megan Fox — surfaced in the comment section of Hewitt’s post.
“These playdates bout to hittttt,” the rapper, 35, wrote.
MGK’s friendship with Davidson, 31, goes back years. They first met on the set of Wildin’ Out in 2017 but formed a closer bond while working on the movie The Dirt two years later.
“I don’t have any siblings, you know, so when you have someone like Pete, like, that’s like my little brother,” MGK said during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2020. “He’s like my best friend but also like a little brother, so, like, you have the opportunity to live that dynamic of, like, having a sibling. So, obviously, to me, that’s like the dream. Pete’s like that for me.”
He and Davidson have supported one another amid life’s ups and downs. In October 2024, MGK joined Davidson at an event in Los Angeles where the King of Staten Island star made his first appearance since seeking treatment for his mental health. Last summer, Davidson canceled a series of stand-up shows after entering a program at a wellness facility.
Luxury Handbag Shopping confirmed his romance with Hewitt in March after they were spotted out and about together. Two months later, the couple made their red-carpet debut at the Blossom Ball in New York City.
“He is so incredible,” Hewitt told People during the May event, calling Davidson the “best person I’ve ever met.”
Recently, Davidson spoke about wanting to be a dad.
“[I’m] definitely a family guy,” he told Kevin Hart during Peacock’s Hart to Heart. “My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, I wanna have a kid. That’s like my dream. It’s like, super corny, [but] it would be so fun. Dress up the little dude. It’s just like, I’m so excited for that chapter.”
As for MGK, he reflected on fatherhood during a June outing with the eldest of his two daughters, Casie Baker, whom he brought to the 2025 Kid’s Choice Awards. (He shares Casie, 15, with ex Emma Cannon. He and Fox, 39, welcomed baby Saga in March.)
“It opened up the side of myself that I needed to stay alive to this point. Without her, it’s an easy decline, you know?” he told ABC7 of parenting Casie, who said of Saga, “I think she’s just a good addition to the family. Now we have two girls in the family, I have another sibling, it’s cute.”
