Comedian Pete Davidson, 31, and model Elsie Hewitt, 29, are embarking on an exciting new chapter as they announced they are expecting their first child together. Hewitt revealed the happy news on Wednesday, July 16, via an Instagram post featuring a series of intimate photos of the couple, alongside videos from an ultrasound. Her candid caption, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” perfectly captured the couple’s lighthearted approach to their relationship, which they have largely kept private until now.

Davidson, who does not use social media, officially confirmed the news and shared his profound excitement in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 22. “I honestly couldn’t be more excited,” Pete stated, adding, “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.” This sentiment echoes a revelation from a 2022 chat with fellow comedian Kevin Hart, where Davidson admitted, “My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. It’s like my dream.” He spoke of his desire to dress up a “little dude” and preparing to be a good father.

The announcement resonated deeply for Davidson, whose own father, a New York City firefighter, tragically died during the September 11, 2001, attacks when Pete was just seven years old. He has frequently spoken about this loss throughout his career, and his anticipation of fatherhood carries a poignant significance. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson further reflected on his emotional journey, noting, “Everything else doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s nice.”

The couple's relationship timeline has mostly remained under the radar, a stark contrast to some of Davidson's previous high-profile romances with stars like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Madelyn Cline. According to the Associated Press, Davidson and Hewitt were first publicly linked in March after being spotted in Palm Springs. Hewitt later made their relationship Instagram official, and they have since shared occasional red carpet appearances and playful public displays of affection, while maintaining a degree of privacy.

Congratulations poured in from friends and fans alike in the comment section of Hewitt’s post. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), a close friend of Davidson, enthusiastically wrote, “These playdates bout to hittttt.” MGK had previously revealed that Davidson would be a groomsman in his wedding, highlighting their strong bond. Hewitt’s best friend, model Meredith Mickelson, also expressed immense joy, writing, “My bestie is having my mini bestie which means my life is complete,” and later added, “I’M SO HAPPY. BEST MOMMY EVERRRRR.” Furthermore, a source for E! News confirmed that Davidson’s mother, Amy Waters, is “thrilled” and “can’t wait to become a grandma.”

Adding another layer to Hewitt's personal story, the model has been open about 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. Hewitt explained the impact on her career, 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,” noting that her symptoms had progressively worsened over the years.

Despite their individual histories in the public eye, with Hewitt previously linked to figures like Ryan Phillippe, Benny Blanco, and Jason Sudeikis, and Davidson to stars such as Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian, their journey into parenthood marks a deeply personal and joyful moment. Both are clearly excited for this new chapter, with Davidson’s lifelong dream of fatherhood finally coming to fruition.
