Pete Davidson Expecting First Baby With Girlfriend Elsie Hewitt
Pete Davidson‘s dream is coming true.
The Saturday Night Live alum and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are expecting a baby, the 29-year-old model sharing the news on Instagram with a carousel that included a picture of her sonogram and video from doctor’s office.
“Welp,” she wrote, “now everyone knows we have sex.”
While Davidson’s star in the comedy world rose on the strength of his juvenile, I-still-live-with-my-mom shtick—despite his stacked dating history and seeming readiness to marry Ariana Grande at one point—the 31-year-old has actually been eager to be a dad for some time.
“My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, I wanna have a kid,” Davidson said on Kevin Hart‘s Hard to Hart in 2022. “That’s like my dream. It’s like, super corny.”
More like an incredibly touching sentiment from the King of Staten Island star, whose firefighter father died on 9/11.
“It would be so fun. Dress up the little dude,” Davidson continued. “That’s kind of what I’m just preparing for now, is just trying to be as good as a dude, develop and get better so when that happens it’s just easier.”
And then Davidson found the person to take that massive life step with in Hewitt.
They were first romantically linked in March and, by the time they made their red carpet debut at NYC’s Blossom Ball in May, they were already living together.

While Davidson’s personal life was extremely out in the open earlier in his career, from his gallows-humor jokes about losing his dad to the very public nature of his short-lived engagement to Grande, a relationship with Kim Kardashian that made it onto The Kardashians, etc., he has been more cautious about his privacy in recent years.
Which doesn’t mean he became a hermit or anything, but he’s been playing his heart cards closer to his chest.
And Hewitt is mainly following suit, but she couldn’t help singing Davidson’s praises as a partner when they stepped out together at the Blossom Ball, benefiting the Endometriosis Foundation of America.
“He is so incredible,” the Upon Waking actress told People May 15. “Honestly, best person I’ve ever met, and I’m so grateful that he’s here tonight.”
And as someone living with endometriosis, his support hit close to home.
When her condition flares up, she explained, “Pete sets me up with a little heating pad, and it’s very sweet, and I just eat whatever I like.”
They “snuggle up and watch a movie and get cozy,” Hewitt added. “Everyone deserves a Pete.”
Before the London native got a Pete, however, her dating history included romances with Jason Sudeikis and Benny Blanco, who’s now engaged to Selena Gomez.

So something she and Davidson both know is that dating in the public eye is hard.
Bordering on hellish at times.
“Because I’m ugly, they wrote about me,” he told Page Six in February of what he took to be the theme of the coverage of his love life. “I was harassed for, like, five years and it made my life a living hell.”
Countless women would line up to state their opinion to the contrary about his looks, but Davidson’s self-deprecation can’t be tamed.
“I tell my friends that all the time if my childhood was fine I’d probably be a construction worker in Staten Island and be the happiest guy ever,” he said on Hart to Hart. “But that weird s–t that it does to you, made me love comedy.”

And what do you know, staying true to himself ended up being the move that led him to the status update he really wanted: Dad-to-be.
“I just want somebody who is funny, who makes me laugh, who is kind, who just thinks I’m the s–t,” Hewitt shared on a March 2024 episode of In Good Company. “I don’t care about how someone looks. I care about how someone carries themself and their sense of self.”

“I’m in a lot of pain and it’s getting progressively worse,” she said in a December 2024 TikTok video after a surgery. “The amount of opportunities I’ve lost out on because I can’t work when I’m feeling this way or it’s a liability to be on set if I might have to go to the emergency room. I’m trying to figure out a way around it.”
