Call it the ultimate celebration of bromance and baby wipes – MGK is beyond thrilled for his pal.
Colson Baker, better known as Machine Gun Kelly, took to Instagram on July 23 to share his delight at the news that Pete Davidson and model-actress Elsie Hewitt are expecting their first child together. In a beaming selfie posted on his feed, the 35-year-old rapper held up his phone to the camera, the screen displaying Davidson’s smiling face from a recent FaceTime call. Baker’s comment on the announcement, “these playdates bout to hittttt,” quickly accumulated thousands of likes and reinforced the duo’s reputation as inseparable friends inside and outside Hollywood circles.
Davidson and Hewitt broke the news via Instagram on July 16, confirming the “tenuous but safe” arrival date is set for later this year. Within hours, Baker’s reaction became one of the most talked-about responses from their inner circle, with fans and fellow celebrities rallying around the impending addition to Davidson’s family.
The bond between Baker and Davidson dates back to 2017, when they first crossed paths on the set of MTV’s Wild ’N Out. Their friendship deepened two years later while filming the Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt in New Orleans, a connection Baker has described in interviews with People magazine and on The Howard Stern Show. “He was the only other person that smoked weed,” Baker recalled in 2020, joking that shared late-night sessions forged a sibling-like bond. “I don’t have any siblings, so Pete is like the little brother I never had.”
Aside from his decades-long career in music and acting, Baker has already navigated fatherhood for years. He is dad to 15-year-old daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon and welcomed daughter Saga Blade, now three months old, with ex Megan Fox in March. With that context, his excitement over Davidson’s new role makes perfect sense: from organizing diaper stockpiles to lining up playdates, Baker knows exactly what to expect as Davidson joins the celeb dad club.
Insiders from People magazine noted that this shared parenthood journey has drawn the friends even closer, turning their on-screen rapport into a real-world support network. With sources confirming that both families plan joint outings and baby-themed gatherings in Los Angeles and New York, fans can anticipate social media moments showcasing playdate candid shots rather than red-carpet poses.
As Father’s Day approaches, Baker and Davidson’s camaraderie proves that celebrity friendships can thrive beyond shared film sets and late-night talk shows. Their collective approach to parenthood, grounded in humor and loyalty, offers a fresh glimpse of how major stars balance fame with family life. Expect to see more co-parenting tips, joint appearances at playgrounds, and maybe even a cameo from Baker advising Davidson live from a stroller run–it’s reality TV gold in the making.
That’s the scoop on this celeb dad duo – diaper duty never looked so good.
