While speaking to PEOPLE about the pregnancy, Davidson opened up about the helpful parenting tips MGK, a.k.a Machine Gun Kelly, has already given to him.
“He’s the best dad ever,” Pete Davidson said about MGK. “He flies back and forth to Cleveland twice a week just to see his daughter play volleyball. And he’s just always with his kids, and it’s just such a beautiful thing to me.”
MGK has two daughters: Casie, 16, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon, and Saga, 4 months, with Megan Fox.
Continuing to speak about his friend, Davidson said, “[Parenting] is his favorite thing. He’s like, ‘This is going to be your favorite thing.’ So I’m really excited.”
The SNL alum further discussed how excited he is to become a dad. “I’m just excited ot take care of the little one. The second I found out the news, I was like, ‘Oh wow, what I do is just a job.”
“I realized I was kind of basing my happiness on work,” he pointed out. “So it gave me this weird sense of calmness, where this is just a job and now I have someone to do it for.”
Davidson then said he was looking forward to having play dates with MGK. “We’re going to have awesome play dates,” he declared. “Yeah, that’s [going to be] a cool play date.”
