Comedian Pete Davidson and model Elsie Hewitt are officially expectant parents, announcing on July 16 that they are awaiting their first child together. Hewitt, 29, took to Instagram to share the joyful news, posting a series of intimate photos of the couple alongside ultrasound videos. She humorously captioned the announcement, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex.” Davidson, 31, later confirmed the news himself in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 22, where he expressed immense excitement for this new chapter, stating, “I honestly couldn’t be more excited. It’s been my dream forever since I was a little kid.”

Davidson has long vocalized his desire to become a father. In a 2022 conversation 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 elaborated on his anticipation, saying, “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.” Reflecting on his emotional journey during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson added, “Everything else doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s nice.” He also spoke about his hope to be the dad he “hoped that he would have,” a sentiment deeply rooted in the tragic passing of his own father, a New York City firefighter, on September 11, 2001, when Pete was just seven years old.

The couple’s relationship has largely remained out of the public eye, a stark contrast to Davidson’s previous high-profile romances. According to the Associated Press, Davidson and Hewitt were first spotted publicly in March, with Hewitt making their relationship Instagram official days later. Over the last four months, they have kept their time together fairly private, though Hewitt occasionally shared glimpses of their life on social media.

The pregnancy announcement was met with a wave of congratulations from friends and fans alike. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, a close friend of Davidson, commented on Hewitt’s post, “These playdates bout to hittttt.” MGK had previously revealed in a 2022 chat with Howard Stern that Davidson would be a groomsman in his wedding, highlighting their strong bond. 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 adding, “I’M SO HAPPY. BEST MOMMY EVERRRRR.” A source for E! News confirmed that Davidson’s mother, Amy Waters, is “thrilled” about the news and “can’t wait to become a grandma!”

Elsie Hewitt has also been open about her personal health journey, particularly her struggle with endometriosis. She underwent surgery for the condition in November and later discussed her symptoms, pain, and the impact on her life and career in a TikTok video in December. She noted that her symptoms had progressively worsened over the years, affecting professional opportunities due to the unpredictability of her health.
