Pete Davidson revealed the impact of having a newborn has had on a pastime enjoyment of his – pornography.
The 32-year-old has been through a period of change recently, after having spent hundreds of thousands of dollars 'burning off' 200 tattoos all over his body.
Davidson also welcomed a baby with his girlfriend, 30-year-old model Elsie Hewitt, and we’ve been getting some cute family pictures ever since the announcement in December of last year.
However, with a newfound responsibility to his young daughter came a surprising side effect for the Saturday Night Live alum.

Taking to a comedy show in Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on Saturday (April 11), the new ‘girl dad’ said he could no longer enjoy porn.
His daughter, named Scottie after his father, Scott, who died as a firefighter during the 9/11 attacks, apparently took away the joy from the activity.
The comedian spoke on this topic in front of the audience at his show, which marks his return to work after the birth of his baby, where he also opened up about being sober.
However, I want to remind you that this was a comedy show... and it was Pete Davidson telling the joke... So, you've been warned.
As reported by Us Weekly, he began: “[I] got a little girl. It's weird having a little girl.”
Davidson said it’s ‘hard to watch porn... in front of her’, before joking: “I still did. I power through.”
After the joke, he got serious about what it means to him to be a father, revealing that it has been ‘great’ and ‘it's a lot of fun’.
In January, Davidson spoke to the outlet about becoming a dad, having just entered his first few weeks.
He said: “The best thing I've been telling people is [that Scottie is] the biggest gift.
“Nothing else matters as much or intensely, like career, activities, hanging out with people [or] what do people think of me, that sort of s***. I still want to do cool stuff, but it's like, ‘Well, how long do I have to be away?’ Or, ‘Is this worth being away?’”
Davidson and Elsie announced Scottie’s birth in an Instagram post, sharing that ‘our perfect angel girl arrived 12/12/2025’.
Revealing her name is ‘Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson’, El️sie wrote: “My best work yet, I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.”
Davidson said in the announcement: “Wu tang forever.”
The pair were first linked in March 2025, with the comedian revealing that they met through mutual friends.
“We both met through mutual friends who were just like, 'You guys should meet,' and then we met,” he told E! News. “We weren't really looking for anything and we immediately were just like, 'Oh, wow.'”
