A Bond Beyond Friendship
Pete Davidson, the comedian and actor known for his sharp wit and candid personality, recently opened up about his deep admiration for longtime friend Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), particularly highlighting the rapper's skills as a father. As Davidson prepares to welcome his first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, he finds inspiration in MGK's approach to parenting. This heartfelt sentiment was shared during a recent event, showcasing the evolving nature of their friendship as they both navigate fatherhood.
Their bond, which began on the set of 'Wild 'N Out' in December 2017, has grown into a source of mutual support over the years. Davidson's comments come at a time when both stars are celebrating personal milestones, with MGK already a father to two daughters and Davidson eagerly anticipating his new role. This shared journey has strengthened their connection, making MGK a guiding figure for Davidson.
Fatherhood Lessons from a Style Icon
At the 12th Annual Fashion Media Awards in New York on September 13, where MGK received the Style Icon honor, Davidson was present to support his friend and publicly praised him.
