Comedian Pete Davidson, 31, and model Elsie Hewitt, 29, are enthusiastically embarking on a new chapter as they announce they are expecting their first child together. Hewitt revealed the happy news on Instagram on Wednesday, July 16, sharing intimate photos of the couple alongside ultrasound videos. Davidson later confirmed the news himself, expressing his profound excitement for impending fatherhood.

Hewitt's Instagram post, playfully captioned, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” quickly garnered thousands of congratulations from friends and fans alike. Following this, Davidson shared his personal joy in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 22, stating, “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's long-standing desire to become a father has been a recurring theme in his public life. In a 2022 conversation with fellow comedian Kevin Hart, he articulated this dream, saying, “My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. It’s like my dream.” He further elaborated on his preparations, expressing excitement for “dressing up a little dude” and striving to be “as good as a dude and develop and get better” for that chapter. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson reflected on how this news has shifted his perspective, noting, “Everything else doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s nice.”

This deeply personal journey into fatherhood holds particular significance for Davidson, whose own father, a New York City firefighter, tragically passed away during the September 11 attacks in 2001 when Pete was just seven years old. This profound loss has often been a topic he has openly discussed throughout his career, making his anticipation of becoming a parent even more poignant.

The couple’s relationship has largely been kept private, a notable contrast to Davidson’s past high-profile romances. According to the Associated Press, they were first spotted publicly in March in Palm Springs. Days later, Hewitt made their relationship Instagram official, and they have since shared occasional red carpet appearances and playful public displays of affection, though maintaining a low-key profile.

The news has been met with an outpouring of support from their inner circle. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, a close friend of Davidson’s, extended his congratulations on Hewitt’s post, jokingly writing, “These playdates bout to hittttt.” Hewitt’s best friend, fellow model Meredith Mickelson, also shared her excitement, commenting, “My bestie is having my mini bestie which means my life is complete,” adding, “I’M SO HAPPY. BEST MOMMY EVERRRRR.” Additionally, a source for E! News revealed that Davidson’s mother, Amy Waters, is “thrilled” at the prospect of becoming a grandma.

Elsie 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 discussed the symptoms and pain she has experienced on TikTok in December. She spoke about the impact of endometriosis on her life, including lost opportunities due to her health challenges.

As Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt prepare to welcome their first child, their shared joy marks a significant and deeply anticipated milestone, fulfilling a long-held dream for Davidson and opening a new, exciting chapter for the couple.
