    Pete Davidson is getting ready for a whole new role. The comedian and former Saturday Night Livecast member is expecting his first child with his girlfriend, British model and actress Elsie Hewitt.

    The news was confirmed on Wednesday when Hewitt shared a set of photos on Instagram, including bump pictures, cute couple shots, and a few cheeky memes. She captioned it simply: “Welp now everyone knows we had s*x.” 

    The post was playful but confirmed what fans had been speculating about — the couple is expecting.

    Pete, 31, and Elsie, 29, were first seen together earlier this year. Rumors about their relationship started in March after they were spotted kissing in Palm Beach, Florida.

    Since then, the two have mostly kept things private. It’s been reported that they’ve been living together between Brooklyn and Upstate New York, away from the spotlight.

    In May, however, they made things official on the red carpet. The couple appeared together at the Blossom Ball in New York City — their first public event as a couple.

    For Elsie, this is her first major public relationship after previously being linked to names like Jason Sudeikis and Benny Blanco.

    Davidson's career keeps moving ahead 

    The baby news comes while Pete is in the middle of a busy year professionally. After leaving Saturday Night Live in 2022, he's shifted focus to stand-up shows and taking on more acting roles.

    He’s starring in a horror film called The Home, which is set to release on July 25.

    And that’s just one of several projects he’s working on this year. Pete’s been expanding his range beyond the funny guy image most fans know him for.

    During his time on SNL, Pete became one of the show’s standout performers. He created popular characters like Chad, and he was known for his laid-back, self-aware humor.

    He also made headlines when he bought the Staten Island Ferrywith co-star Colin Jost.

    Last year, he returned to host the show and even appeared in the 50th anniversary special earlier this year.


    Who Is Elsie Hewitt?

    Elsie isn’t new to the spotlight either. She started out as a model, working with brands like Guess and even posing for Playboy. But over time, she transitioned to acting.

    Her first TV role came in 2018 with the series Turnt, and more recently, she’s appeared on Lil Dicky’s show Dave, where she showed off her fun and quirky side.

    Even though Elsie has built a career in front of the camera, she and Pete have kept their relationship pretty low-key — at least until now.

    With the pregnancy announcement, the couple is stepping into a new phase, both personally and publicly.


    What’s next for the couple

    While Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have not shared further details about the pregnancy, such as the due date or how far along they are, the announcement has drawn considerable attention.

    The news marks a notable moment for both individuals — Davidson amid a busy period in his career, and Hewitt as she continues to expand her presence in both modeling and acting.

    As the couple prepares to welcome their first child, they have largely maintained their privacy, though public interest in their next steps remains high.
