Pete Davidson confesses he’s looking forward to his grandfather’s passing: ‘I’m so stoked about his impending death’-OxBig News Network

“I’m not that close with him,” Pete told the audience, referencing his mom Amy Davidson’s father. “I’m close with my dad’s dad. I don’t like my mom’s dad.” It wasn’t just emotional distance that he was describing. The star took it a step further, making a deeply disturbing allegation: “He used to beat the s**t out of me and I don’t like him very much.”

Davidson revealed that his grandfather is battling emphysema, a chronic lung condition that makes breathing increasingly difficult. “I hope he f**king rots,” he said flatly, before acknowledging the internal conflict. “It’s a tough situation because I want to be there for my mom, but deep down, I’m so stoked about my grandfather’s impending death.” 

Further expressing a desire to support his mother during this emotional time, he said, “I don’t want to be rude to my mom. I think I have the best mom in the world. I’m very, very lucky. So I’ve been trying to remember a good time that me and my grandpa had so I could hold onto it.”

In contrast, Pete spoke warmly of his paternal grandfather, Stephen Davidson — the man he remains close with and who even appeared in The King of Staten Island, Pete’s semi-autobiographical film from 2020.

As for what Davidson is up to now, the comedian seems to be in a more grounded place. He’s currently in a relationship with model Elsie Hewitt, and the couple’s romance appears to be going strong as they split their time between Davidson’s home in upstate New York and a Brooklyn brownstone they’re renting. Prior to this, he made headlines for getting all of his tattoos removed and, in July 2024, he checked into a wellness facility to seek the mental health treatment he needed.
