Comedian Pete Davidson, 31, and model Elsie Hewitt, 29, are celebrating the joyful news that they are expecting their first child together. Hewitt made the exciting announcement on Wednesday, July 16, through a heartfelt Instagram post. The revelation included a series of photos of the happy couple alongside intimate videos from an ultrasound. Hewitt’s playful caption, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” humorously captured the couple’s relatively private approach to their relationship.

According to the Associated Press, Davidson and Hewitt were first publicly seen together in March. Despite Davidson’s history of headline-making romances with figures like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Madelyn Cline, their relationship has largely remained under the radar over the past four months. Hewitt occasionally shared glimpses of their time together on social media, making their relationship Instagram official days after their initial public sighting. While Davidson is not active on social media, he personally confirmed the news and expressed his immense excitement about impending fatherhood in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 22.

Davidson conveyed his enthusiasm, stating, “I honestly couldn’t be more excited.” He added that becoming a father has been a lifelong dream. “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 aspiration holds deep personal meaning for Davidson, whose father, a New York City firefighter, tragically died during the September 11 attacks in 2001 when Davidson was just seven years old. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson reflected on this emotional journey, noting that his perspective has shifted significantly, saying, “Everything else doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s nice.”

Pete Davidson has consistently spoken about his desire for fatherhood. In a 2022 chat 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 further elaborated on his excitement for this new chapter, envisioning the fun of dressing up a “little dude” and focusing on personal growth to be the best possible father. He believes that by being a good person and developing himself, the transition into fatherhood will be smoother.

The announcement garnered an outpouring of congratulations from friends and fans. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, a close friend of Davidson, enthusiastically commented on Hewitt’s post, “These playdates bout to hittttt.” Kelly himself recently welcomed a daughter earlier this year. Their long-standing friendship was highlighted when Kelly revealed in a 2022 interview with Howard Stern that Davidson would be a groomsman in his wedding. Elsie Hewitt’s best friend, model Meredith Mickelson, also shared her excitement, writing, “My bestie is having my mini bestie which means my life is complete,” and later exclaiming, “I’M SO HAPPY. BEST MOMMY EVERRRRR.” Additionally, a source for E! News confirmed that Davidson’s mother, Amy Waters, is “thrilled” at the prospect of becoming a grandmother.

Beyond the joyous news, Hewitt has also been candid about her personal health struggles, particularly with endometriosis. She underwent surgery for the condition in November and later discussed her experiences with symptoms and pain in a series of TikTok videos in December. Hewitt shared how endometriosis had affected her career, leading to lost opportunities due to the challenges of working or being considered a liability on set. Despite these personal hurdles, the couple is clearly embracing their new chapter with profound anticipation and happiness.
