“You have this overly protective like...if one paparazzi guy pops out I'm going to f--king beat the living s--t out of him,” he explained. "So that's a weird gear because I'm not a fighter guy."

The 32-year-old—who debuted his romance with Elsie in March 2025—joked that he feels “primal” about his daughter, adding, “It’s funny.”

Meanwhile, Pete getting a tattoo in honor of his baby girl is huge considering he’s currently going through what’s expected to be a 10-year process to getting his other ink removed. 

“I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up,” Pete told Variety last year of his formerly tattoo-covered body. “I’m just removing them and starting fresh, because that’s what I think works best for me and for my brain.”

And while the process is worth it for his mental health, he admitted it has been tough. 

“It’s pretty horrible,” he continued. “It’s like putting your arm on a grill and burning off a layer, and then you gotta do maintenance and let it heal properly.”
