Comedian Pete Davidson and model Elsie Hewitt are preparing to embark on their biggest role yet: parenthood. Hewitt took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 16, to share the joyous news, revealing that she and Davidson are expecting their first child together. Her post featured several intimate photos of the couple, including videos from an ultrasound, accompanied by a cheeky caption that read, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex.” This announcement marks a significant milestone for the couple, whose relationship has largely remained out of the public eye until now.

Pete Davidson, 31, officially confirmed the news and expressed his overwhelming excitement about impending fatherhood in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 22. “I honestly couldn’t be more excited,” Pete shared. “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.” He further elaborated on his emotional journey during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, noting how his perspective has shifted: “Everything else doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s nice.” Davidson's desire to be a father is a long-standing one; in a 2022 conversation with fellow comedian Kevin Hart, he stated, “My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. It’s like my dream.” He added, “It would be so fun to dress up a little dude. I’m so excited for, like, that chapter. So that’s kind of what I’m just preparing for now. I’m trying to be as good as a dude and develop and get better so when that happens, it’s just easier.” This dream holds particular significance for Davidson, whose father, a New York City firefighter, tragically passed away during the September 11, 2001 attacks when Pete was just seven years old.

The couple’s relationship timeline has been relatively private, a stark contrast to some of Davidson’s past high-profile romances. According to the Associated Press, Davidson and Hewitt were first spotted together publicly in March. Days later, Hewitt, 29, made their relationship Instagram official with a candid photo of Davidson, and they have since made occasional red carpet appearances and shared playful public displays of affection. Hewitt has also been open about her personal health journey, specifically her struggle with endometriosis. She underwent surgery for the condition in November and later took to TikTok in December to discuss the symptoms and pain she has experienced. She noted the professional opportunities she had lost due to her condition, stating, “The amount of opportunities I’ve lost out on because I can’t work when I’m feeling this way, or it’s like a liability to be on set, if I might have to go to the emergency room, or if I can’t work because money is at stake.”

The news of their pregnancy has been met with a wave of support and congratulations from friends and family. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, a close friend of Davidson, commented on Hewitt’s Instagram post, writing, “These playdates bout to hittttt,” referring to his own daughter whom he welcomed earlier this year. Meredith Mickelson, Hewitt’s best friend and fellow model, also shared her excitement, commenting, “My bestie is having my mini bestie which means my life is complete,” later adding, “HEHEHEHEHEHE. I’M SO HAPPY. BEST MOMMY EVERRRRR.” A source for E! News also revealed that Davidson’s mother, Amy Waters, is “thrilled” about the pregnancy, eagerly anticipating becoming a grandmother. Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have kept their relationship fairly private over the past four months, with Hewitt occasionally sharing glimpses of their time together on social media, making this public announcement a heartwarming moment for fans and loved ones alike.
