Pete Davidson and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are expecting their first child together. The couple shared the exciting news on Hewitt’s Instagram with a playful post that quickly went viral. The announcement marks a new chapter for Davidson, who has openly talked about his dream of becoming a father.
Who Is Elsie Hewitt?
Elsie Hewitt is a 29-year-old British model and actress. She has worked with major brands like Guess and was a Playboy Playmate. Hewitt made her television debut in 2018 on the series Turnt and later appeared on rapper Lil Dicky’s sitcom Dave.
Before dating Davidson, Hewitt was in a relationship with Jason Sudeikis in early 2024. She also dated producer Benny Blanco in 2019 and actor Ryan Phillippe in 2017. Her relationship with Phillippe ended in controversy after she accused him of domestic violence and filed a $1 million lawsuit. Phillippe denied the claims, and the case was settled out of court in 2019.
Hewitt and Davidson went public with their relationship in March 2025 after they were seen kissing in Palm Beach, Florida. By May, they had moved in together, splitting time between Davidson’s home in upstate New York and a Brooklyn brownstone they rented.
The Pregnancy Announcement
Hewitt confirmed the pregnancy on Instagram with a carousel of photos and videos. The post included:
- A picture of Davidson with his hand on her stomach.
- Footage from an ultrasound appointment.
- A selfie of the couple wearing face masks.
She captioned it:
“welp now everyone knows we had sex.”
The post also featured a Love Island meme, adding humor to the big reveal. A source told People that the couple is “so happy together” and that Davidson’s family fully supports the relationship.
