When Pete Davidson went Instagram official with model and actress Elsie Hewitt back in March 2025, they had fans' attention. Three months later, the couple is gaining major attention after announcing they are expecting their first child.
Hewitt confirmed the pregnancy with a cheeky Instagram post featuring ultrasound pics and a playful caption: “welp now everyone knows we had sex.” The photo shows the comedian lovingly placing a hand on her less-than-visible baby bump.
So, who is the British-born model who stole the “SNL” star’s heart?
Born on March 5, 1996, in London, Hewitt moved to Los Angeles at the age of 10. Her early move across the Atlantic wasn’t just a family decision; it was the beginning of her pursuit of a Hollywood dream.
“I always knew I wanted to do [acting] and sort of grew up seeing it, ‘cause my dad was a director,'” she shared while promoting her 2025 indie film ‘Upon Waking.’
By 15, Hewitt was working and supporting herself. "I've been working since I was 15, and I'm totally independent," she told Playboy when she was named the magazine’s Miss June in 2017.
While acting was always her end goal, modeling launched Hewitt into the spotlight. She made waves with the Guess Swim & Lingerie Spring 2018 campaign, fulfilling a major personal milestone.
In a Facebook post, she reflected. “It’s special to me to work with a company that embodies empowerment and confidence in the same way.”
On the screen, she has appeared in FX’s comedy series ‘Dave,’ HBO’s drama ‘Industry’ and ‘Turnt.’ She also appeared in the music video for Benn Blanco’s 2019 track ‘Graduation.’
Away from the spotlight, Hewitt is also a dedicated foodie, documenting her culinary adventures on social media, and in 2025, she launched a web series titled ‘Stuffed,’ co-hosted with food personality P.J. Monte (aka "The Sauce Boss").
Her past flames
Before Davidson, Hewitt was romantically linked to music producer Benny Blanco, actor Jason Sudeikis, and Ryan Phillippe.
Her brief relationship with Sudeikis made headlines in late 2024, when they were seen attending the US Open together and enjoying low-key date nights in LA.
Hewitt also made news in 2017 when she filed a civil lawsuit against Philippe, alleging assault, which he denied. The case was settled in 2019, People reported.
Her love story with Davidson
While Davidson’s love life has often made headlines, this relationship began under the radar. In March 2025, Page Six confirmed he was dating Hewitt, described then as a “non-celebrity” and someone “very different” from his usual partners.
That month, they were photographed kissing on Palm Beach, and by the end of March, they had gone Instagram official.
By May, they'd moved in together. A source told People, “They’re splitting their time between Pete’s house in upstate New York and a brownstone they recently started renting in Brooklyn. They’re so happy together.”
The couple made their red carpet debut at the 13th Annual Blossom Ball, a benefit for endometriosis research. Hewitt stunned in a glittering gold gown that drew comparisons to Kim Kardashian’s iconic Marilyn Monroe Met Gala look.
Davidson, who once dated Kardashian, kept things relaxed in a sheer striped button-down and oversized trousers.
The couple has kept their romance relatively private, but Davidson shared his thoughts on public relationships in a February 2025 Page Six interview.
“It’s embarrassing because you want people to write about your work,” he said. “I was one of the youngest ever cast members on SNL, and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating.”
Still, he added, “I’ve had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women, and when it’s ended, it’s been cool.”
Now, with a baby on the way, Davidson and Hewitt are stepping into a new chapter together. The news, confirmed by People and shared on Instagram, was met with love from fans and celebrity friends alike, including Finneas and Kevin Abstract.
