Pete Davidson has revealed how his daughter helped him to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

During a candid conversation with Variety, the 32-year-old comedian shared that it's "easy" to stay sober since becoming a father to 9-month-old daughter Scottie.

“I don’t f--k with drugs anymore. It’s been two or three years from doing really hard stuff and about a year or more from weed. Weirdly, the hardest thing to stop was weed,” he said.

“And now it’s easy because I have a kid. Anytime there’s ever a thought, I look at my phone background and go, ‘Oh yeah, no,’ added Pete.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Saturday Night Live alum welcomed his daughter with ex-Elsie Hewitt in December 2025.

Recently, in an interview with E!, Pete revealed that fatherhood has changed his life.

My priorities have shifted in just that becoming a dad is great for so many reasons, but it just made me realise the stuff that I cared about so much don't actually matter,” he said.

“Now the priority is if I don't get that whatever job or whatever, who cares? I get to be home with Scottie. That's awesome,” the actor added.
