Comedian Pete Davidson, 31, and model Elsie Hewitt, 29, are expecting their first child together, a joyous announcement made by Hewitt on Instagram on Wednesday, July 16. The revelation came through a series of intimate photos and videos, including ultrasound footage, shared by Hewitt, who playfully captioned her post, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex.” This news confirms Davidson’s long-held dream of becoming a father, a goal he has openly discussed on multiple occasions.

Davidson has frequently expressed his desire for fatherhood, telling fellow comedian Kevin Hart in 2022 that having a child was his “dream” and “favorite thing ever.” He reiterated his excitement 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.” He also praised Hewitt, saying, “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.” During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson reflected on his emotional journey, noting, “Everything else doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s nice.”

The couple’s relationship has largely remained private since they were first spotted publicly in March, a contrast to Davidson’s more high-profile past romances. Elsie made their relationship Instagram official days after their initial sighting in Palm Springs, occasionally sharing glimpses of their time together. Pete's mother, Amy Waters, is reportedly “thrilled” about the pregnancy and “can’t wait to become a grandma!”

The news has garnered widespread congratulations from friends and fans alike. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, a long-time friend of Davidson, enthusiastically commented on Hewitt’s post, “These playdates bout to hittttt,” referencing his own recent experience of welcoming a daughter with ex-girlfriend Megan Fox. Meredith Mickelson, Elsie Hewitt’s best friend and a fellow model, also expressed her excitement, writing, “My bestie is having my mini bestie which means my life is complete.”

Davidson’s personal journey has been shaped by the tragic loss of his father, a New York City firefighter who died on September 11, 2001, when Pete was just seven years old. This profound experience has often influenced his perspective on life and his aspirations for fatherhood. Elsie Hewitt has also shared personal challenges, including her struggle with endometriosis, for which she underwent surgery in November. She has openly discussed the impact of the condition on her life and career, noting how symptoms have progressively worsened over the years.
