Pete Davidson has put his killer punchlines on pause while he embraces parenthood with his partner, Elsie Hewitt.

The former Saturday Night Live star, 32, and his model girlfriend, 29, welcomed their little bundle of joy into the world last Friday (12 December).

The couple have been enjoying their baby bubble over the last week, but decided to share the news with fans in a social media post on Thursday (18 December).

Hewitt described their little girl as her 'best work yet' in the caption, adding: "I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief."

Ever the comedian, Davidson added: "Wu Tang forever," in reference to the hip hop collective that he is a huge fan of.

As well as describing their daughter as a 'perfect angel girl', the new parents also revealed her sweet name - which pays tribute to Davidson's late father.

The funnyman devastatingly lost his dad, Scott Matthew Davidson, at the age of just seven.

He was one of the New York City firefighters who responded to the tragic September 11 attacks and he had been dispatched to the World Trade Center when the second hijacked plane hit.

At the age of just 33, he was killed after charging inside to help save people - just moments before the building collapsed.

Davidson has openly discussed the impact the loss left on him, while revealing that his beloved father had promised to 'pick him up on' that fateful day.

He explained that the whole situation left him with some major trust issues, as he previously said: "Dad says he's going to pick you up, he doesn't, so for life, I don't believe anyone."

Davidson has now paid homage to his heroic father by appearing to name his daughter with Hewitt after him.

The little girl is called Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, a moniker seemingly inspired by her firefighter grandfather Scott.

The tribute didn't go unnoticed among fans, as people flooded the comment section of Hewitt's post with comments about her name, as well as messages of congratulations.

One person said: "Scottie after his dad!?!? This is the sweetest. Congratulations to you and your family, and welcome to the world, Scottie."

Another wrote: "I’m crying. Named after his Dad. Beautiful."

And a third chimed in: "Congrats!!! What a sweet name."

The couple chose to conceal their daughter's face with a white love heart emoji in the snaps.

London-born model Hewitt - who has also appeared in films Teenage Badass and Turnt as well as the FX series Dave - announced she was expecting back in July.

In an Instagram post, she hilariously wrote: "Welp now everyone knows we had sex," alongside a series of photos of her, Davidson and their impending baby's scan.

Earlier this month, Davidson revealed that he and Hewitt had decided to avoid 'weird Hollywood' names for something a bit more 'normal'.

He told People: "For a while, we were like, should we do that weird Hollywood thing where it's like a colour or something? And then I think we're more into the Staten Island normal.

"Mikey, Johnny, Tommy, Mark or Amy, Bridget, Maggie sort of route, because that's missing, I miss that. Remember when you were growing up, you knew like seven Franks?"
