Pete Davidson Dad Says Scottie Talks All Day at 5 Months
pete davidson dad is already talking like a man whose schedule has changed around a five-month-old. Pete Davidson said his daughter Scottie is trying to talk, and that the two of them “kind of talk all day” even if her version is mostly “la.”
Davidson said the baby girl he welcomed with Elsie Hewitt last December is “so cute and chunky,” and that fatherhood has been “really awesome” and “so much fun.” He made the remarks during a live taping of The Pete Davidson Show podcast at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theater on Sunday, alongside John Mulaney.
Scottie at five months
“[She] is five months old now,” Davidson said, adding, “She’s doing tummy time.” The update lands as a simple family anecdote, but it also gives a real-time look at how the actor is describing life around an infant who is already trying to vocalize and interact.
“She is really, really communicative,” he said. “She’s trying to talk now.” Davidson described the exchange in plain terms: “She’ll talk all day, but it’s just she’s going ‘la.’ So we kind of talk all day, and she’s so young.”
John Mulaney on Mei
Mulaney used the same taping to compare that stage of life with his own home. He said Mei, 19 months, is highly responsive: “If you turn on music, no matter what’s happening, she could be sobbing and screaming, and then if you turn on any song she’s dancing.”
He also said, “Méi will be gagging on something and take another bite [she] is so funny.” The comments place Davidson’s newborn in a family lineup that already includes Mulaney’s children Malcolm, four, and Mei, 19 months, with Olivia Munn.
From people pleasing to Scottie
Davidson has also said fatherhood has changed his priorities. “I’ve always had anxiety about people pleasing and wanting to be the best at everything,” he said to another interviewer. “But now I’m like, ‘If I could do that, that’d be cool. But if not, I get to hang out with [Scottie].’”
That shift is the sharper part of the story: the public update is about a baby who says “la,” but the business of Davidson’s own attention now seems routed somewhere else. Scottie’s name also carries family history, since Davidson and Hewitt said it was inspired in part by his father, Scott Davidson, who died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, and by the fact that Scottie was conceived in Scotland. For Davidson, the next tell may not be another punch line — it is whether he keeps describing success in terms smaller than work and bigger than time at home.
