“Nah, if anybody who knows me, it’s my dream to be a dad, so I’m so excited,” he said, adding this his girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt, is also giddy.
“I’m excited to see her be a mom, so we’re stoked,” he said.

Hewitt and Davidson reportedly began seeing each other in March.
Hewitt announced the baby news last week in an Instagram post.
“Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” she captioned her post, which showed the couple posing together, alongside a photo of an ultrasound.
TMZ was the first to report the news, and said the couple’s baby is due sometime in the winter.
Davidson, who lost his own father in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, has spoken about his “dream” of being a dad before.
“My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve is, I wanna have a kid. That’s, like, my dream,” Davidson said in a sit-down for Kevin Hart’s show, “Hart to Hart” in 2022.
The “SNL” star said that he was “so excited for that chapter” in his life.
“That’s kind of what I’m just preparing for now, is just trying to be as good as a dude and develop and get better so when that happens it’s just easier,” he explained.
