Pete Davidson is going to be a dad. His girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, announced their baby news Wednesday on Instagram with an ultrasound preview.
The model and actor posted photos of herself and the 'Saturday Night Live' alum with the caption: 'welp now everyone knows we had sex.' She included a video of herself getting an ultrasound and an up-close sonogram image.
A rep for Davidson, 31, confirmed the news via email. It's the first baby for both.
Davidson and Hewitt, 29, were first spotted out together in March, romping in the waves and making out in Palm Beach, Florida. Their relationship comes after Davidson's 10-month stretch with actor Madelyn Cline ended last July.
Hewitt, who's appeared in 'Industry,' 'Dave' and a Benny Blanco music video, had previously been linked to celebrities like Jason Sudeikis and Blanco. Davidson, who has several comedy specials in addition to his acting credits, has been known for his dating life, including high-profile relationships with Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian.
Davidson, who has spoken of a rough childhood and lost his own father in the Sept. 11 attacks, has long wanted to be a dad, telling Kevin Hart on Hart's talk show three years ago: 'It's gonna be so fun to dress up a little dude. I'm so excited for, like, that chapter.'

Steve Miller Band cancels tour, saying extreme weather is a safety concern

(Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP, File) Classic rocker Steve Miller has cancelled his U.S. tour because he said severe weather including extreme heat and unpredictable flooding poses a danger to his band, its fans and crew. The tour was set to kick off in August and run through early November, with nearly three dozen stops across the U.S. including cities in New York, Tennessee, Florida and California. 'The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable,' Miller, 81, said in a statement posted on the band's social media accounts Wednesday. 'You can blame it on the weather. ... The tour is cancelled.' The Steve Miller Band, formed in California in the 1960s, has hits including 'The Joker' (1973) and 'Abracadabra' (1982). A band spokesperson declined to provide additional details about the cancellation. Miller's decision comes as a stretch of extreme weather in the U.S. has made headlines. A sweltering heat dome that baked much of the eastern half of the nation in June and deadly flash flooding in Texas are some of the recent rounds of extreme weather. Scientists say climate change is fueling extreme weather, causing storms to unleash more rain and sending temperatures soaring to dangerous heights, making it harder to plan outdoor summer events. The atmosphere can hold higher amounts of moisture as it warms, resulting in storms dumping heavier amounts of rain compared to storms of the past. Music festivals have recently encountered extreme weather, resulting in cancellations or causing concertgoers to become ill. In June, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee was canceled partway through due to heavy rainfall. Last week, hundreds of people were treated for heat-related illnesses at the Rock the Country music festival in Kentucky, according to local officials. A study published in 2020 reported climate change will increase the likelihood of extreme heat stress during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California. Tropical storms and hurricanes will soon contribute to the turbulent weather as activity peaks between August and October, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. ___ Isabella O'malley, The Associated Press The Associated Press' climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

American singer Connie Francis, whose hits include Pretty Little Baby, dead at 87

Connie Francis, the wholesome pop star of the 1950s and '60s whose hits include Pretty Little Baby, has died at 87. Her death was announced Thursday by her friend and publicist Ron Roberts, who did not immediately provide additional details. Francis was a top performer of the pre-Beatles era, rarely off the charts from 1957 to 1964. Able to appeal to both young people and adults, she had more than a dozen top-20 hits, starting with Who's Sorry Now? and including the No. 1 songs Don't Break the Heart That Loves You and The Heart Has a Mind of Its Own. Like other teen favourites of her time, she also starred in several films, including Where the Boys Are and Follow the Boys. Francis recorded the song Pretty Little Baby more than 60 years ago. While not deemed a hit at the time, it took off in May 2025 as a trending sound featured in millions of TikTok posts, with various influencers and celebrities posting videos of them lip-synching the lyrics. This also contributed to the song landing in the top songs on Spotify's Viral 50 global and U.S. lists. Major star of pre-Beatles era Concetta Rosemarie Franconero was born on Dec. 12, 1937, in Newark, N.J. She was just three when her father presented her with a child-size accordion. The next year, she began singing and playing the instrument at various public events. At age nine, she began appearing on television programs, including Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts and The Perry Como Show. It was Godfrey who suggested she shorten her last name. The dark-haired singer was just 17 when she signed a contract with MGM Records following appearances on several TV variety shows. Her earliest recordings attracted little attention, but then she released her version of Who's Sorry Now?, an old ballad by Ted Snyder, Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. It had little success initially until Dick Clark played it on his American Bandstand show in 1958. Francis followed with such teen hits as Stupid Cupid, Everybody's Somebody's Fool and Lipstick on Your Collar. Her records became hits worldwide as she re-recorded versions of her original songs in Italian and Spanish, among other languages. Clark featured her repeatedly on American Bandstand, and she said in later years that without his support, she would have abandoned her music career. Her concerts around the country quickly sold out. 'My personal life is a regret' Meanwhile, a romance bloomed with fellow teen idol Bobby Darin, who had volunteered to write songs for her. But when her father heard rumours that the pair were planning a wedding, he stormed into a rehearsal and pulled a gun on Darin, ending their relationship, and seeming to set on Francis on a traumatic path. She chronicled some of it in her autobiography Who's Sorry Now? "My personal life is a regret from A to Z," she told The Associated Press in 1984, the year the book came out. "I realized I had allowed my father to exert too much influence over me." Her father, George Franconero, was a roofing contractor from New Jersey. When she was four, he began booking singing dates for her, going on to become her manager. Although her acting career had faded by the mid-'60s, Francis was still popular on the concert circuit when she appeared at the Westbury Music Center in Westbury, N.Y., in 1974. She had returned to her hotel room and was asleep when a man broke in and raped her at knifepoint. He was never captured. Francis sued the hotel, alleging its security was faulty, and a jury awarded her $2.5 million US in 1976. The two sides then settled out of court for $1,475,000 as an appeal was pending. She said the attack destroyed her marriage and put her through years of emotional turmoil. She suffered another tragedy in 1981 when her brother George was shot to death as he was leaving his New Jersey home. Later in the decade, her father had her committed to a psychiatric hospital, where she was diagnosed as manic-depressive. At one point, she attempted suicide by swallowing dozens of sleeping tablets. After three days in a coma, she recovered. She was married four times and would say that only her third husband, Joseph Garzilli, was worth the trouble. The other marriages each lasted less than a year.
