Comedian Pete Davidson, 31, and modelElsie Hewitt, 29, are expecting their first child together, a joyous announcement made by Hewitt on Instagram on Wednesday, July 16. Hewitt shared several photos of the couple, including videos from an ultrasound, alongside the playful caption, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex.”

Davidson, though not active on social media, confirmed the news and expressed his overwhelming excitement in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 22. He stated, “I honestly couldn’t be more excited. It’s been my dream forever since I was a little kid. The baby’s mother is one of my favorite people to ever exist ever. She’s going to be a great mom and I’m just stoked. I hope to be the dad I hoped that I would have.”

Davidson has long vocalized his desire for fatherhood. In a 2022 conversation with fellow comedian Kevin Hart, he shared, “My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. It’s like my dream.” He elaborated on his excitement for this new chapter, looking forward to dressing up a “little dude” and preparing to be the best father he can be. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,Davidson reflected on how his perspective has shifted, noting that “everything else doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s nice.”

The couple's relationship has been kept relatively private, a contrast to Davidson’s previous high-profile romances. According to the Associated Press, they were first publicly linked in March after being spotted in Palm Springs. Hewitt later made their relationship Instagram official with a candid photo of Davidson, and they have since made occasional red carpet appearances. Pete’s mother, Amy Waters, is reportedly “thrilled” about the pregnancy, eagerly anticipating becoming a grandma.

Friends also shared their congratulations, with rapper Machine Gun Kelly,a close friend of Davidson’s, commenting, “These playdates bout to hittttt.” Hewitt’s best friend, model Meredith Mickelson, also expressed immense happiness, calling Hewitt the “BEST MOMMY EVERRRRR.”

Davidson’s personal journey with fatherhood carries a poignant layer, as his own father, a New York City firefighter, tragically passed away during the September 11, 2001, attacks when Pete was just seven years old—a loss he has often spoken about. Elsie Hewitt has also been open about her health struggles, specifically with endometriosis, for which she underwent surgery in November. She has discussed the symptoms and pain she has experienced due to endometriosis, noting how it has impacted her professional opportunities. Despite these personal challenges, the couple embarks on this new chapter with apparent joy and anticipation.
