Pete Davidson and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are expecting their first child together, marking a significant new chapter in the comedian’s life. The couple, who confirmed their relationship earlier this year, shared the pregnancy news with fans on social media in July 2025. In a playful post featuring Davidson cradling Hewitt’s baby bump, the caption read: “Welp, now everyone knows we had sex.”
The baby is expected to arrive in winter 2025, and sources close to the couple say both Pete and Elsie are “thrilled” about becoming parents. Davidson, 31, and Hewitt, 29, have been relatively private about their relationship since going public in March, but they’ve occasionally given glimpses into their life together. For the Fourth of July holiday, Hewitt shared rare photos of the two celebrating in matching outfits, appearing relaxed and happy.
Back in May, the couple also appeared at the Endometriosis Foundation of America event in New York City, where Hewitt revealed she had undergone surgery to treat endometriosis the previous year. Speaking at the event, she praised Davidson for being a supportive partner, saying he always had “the heating pads, all the water bottles ready to go, feeds me. It’s very sweet.”
Endometriosis is a painful and often misunderstood condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, which can cause fertility challenges. That context has added an extra layer of joy to their pregnancy news, with friends and fans celebrating the couple’s journey.
Davidson’s excitement about fatherhood is deeply personal. His father, Scott Davidson, a New York City firefighter, died in the September 11 attacks when Pete was just seven years old. The loss shaped much of his upbringing and has been a recurring theme in his stand-up comedy and public reflections. Becoming a father now, Davidson says, fulfills a lifelong dream. In recent interviews, he has described fatherhood as something he’s always looked forward to and a role he takes seriously.
In an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Davidson said, “It’s been my dream forever. The baby’s mom is one of my favorite people. She’s going to be a great mom. I’m just stoked.” He added that fatherhood will take priority in his life moving forward, stating, “Baby comes first. Everything else doesn’t really matter.”
The couple currently splits their time between Davidson’s upstate New York residence and a rented Brooklyn brownstone. Though he’s made headlines over the years for high-profile relationships with stars like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Kaia Gerber, those close to Davidson say this phase of his life is markedly different. Friends like Machine Gun Kelly have publicly supported him, joking about future playdates with their own children, while even ex-fiancée Ariana Grande reportedly expressed well wishes, acknowledging that fatherhood could be the grounding force Davidson has long needed.
Elsie Hewitt, originally from the UK, is a model and actress who has worked with several fashion brands and magazines. Known for her low-key persona despite her rising profile, she has not commented much on the attention surrounding the pregnancy but continues to post small updates with warmth and humor.
With their baby due in the coming months, Davidson and Hewitt are preparing to step into parenthood together. For Davidson, this marks not only a personal milestone but a full-circle moment in his journey from tragedy to healing. As fans continue to watch their story unfold, many see this as a promising and heartfelt new chapter for both.
