How Pete Davidson's 'unplanned' pregnancy with new girlfriend Elsie Hewitt has affected their relationship
And while it has since been claimed that the pregnancy was something the couple 'weren't planning' - the SNL alum, 31, and English model, 29, are beyond 'excited' to become parents.
The comedian - who has previously been linked to high profile celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande - first sparked romance rumors with Hewitt only months earlier ago in March.
A source opened up to Us Weekly about their baby news and stated, 'Pete and Elsie definitely weren't planning on starting a family but are over the moon about it.
'They are so excited. Pete and Elsie have a really playful relationship, and things are going really well.'
Despite dating for a 'short amount of time,' the pregnancy 'has brought them even closer. It's a healthy relationship for Pete.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to Davidson and Hewitt's reps for comment.
Pete Davidson, 31, and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, 29, excitedly announced that they are expecting their first child together this week; seen in May in NYC
The insider explained that fatherhood was something he always wanted for his future and that 'the timing in his life is perfect.'
'He couldn't have done it a few years ago but is in a very different place in life now,' the source further said of Pete - who notably got sober last year.
Davidson and Hewitt have already begun preparing to welcome their little one to the world.
'They live together now and are starting to get things ready, which has been very exciting for them to do together.'
The actor has talked about his dreams of being a dad in the past - such as when he made an appearance on Kevin Hart's show Hart To Heart back in 2022.
'[I'm] definitely a family guy. My favorite thing ever, which I've yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. That's like my dream,' Pete expressed at the time.
He said that being a father would 'just be so fun' and added he is 'so excited for that chapter, so like that's kinda just what I'm preparing for now.
'Just trying to be like, as good of a dude, and develop and get better so that when that happens it's just easier.'
Earlier this week on Wednesday, Elsie shared an Instagram photo series where she announced the baby news.
She captioned the carousel of snaps to her 1 million followers with, 'welp now everyone knows we had sex.'
In one image, the couple could be seen cozying up together as Davidson rested his hand on her stomach.
Hewitt additionally included an ultrasound of their baby and other pictures showed the lovebirds celebrating the pregnancy.
The model donned a white cropped top as well as matching sweatpants while the comedian sported a white sweatshirt and gray sweatpants.
They paused for pictures outside while each sporting pink and blue boxers underneath their ensembles.
Pete and Elsie could be seen sweetly embracing in one snap and also wore skincare face masks in another while pampering themselves.
The couple are set to welcome their baby this winter and are said to be 'thrilled' to become parents, family sources told TMZ.
Davidson has mostly kept his relationship with Hewitt, an English model, out of the spotlight since going public in March 2025.
However, the couple made a rare exception last month as Hewitt shared photos of them celebrating Fourth Of July together.
In May the pair were united at the Endometriosis Foundation of America event in NYC - where Hewitt told DailyMail.com she underwent surgery to treat endometriosis last year.
'I feel so much better it's actually insane,' she said before gushing about how Pete takes 'very good' care of her. 'He has all the heating pads, all the water bottles ready to go, feeds me. It's very sweet.'
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, potentially causing severe pain in the pelvis and making it difficult to conceive.
Davidson's baby joy comes almost 24 years since his father Scott was killed aged 33 in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Pete was seven years old.
Scott worked as a firefighter in New York City and was responding to the less well-known Marriott World Trade Center, a 22-story hotel nestled between the two enormous towers that was also known as World Trade Center 3.
Davidson and Hewitt's Fourth Of July getaway came two month after the couple made the big decision to move in together.
A source claimed that the pair were balancing time between Davidson's home in upstate New York and a Brooklyn brownstone the couple is renting.
News of the fresh romance emerged in March, with insiders describing Hewitt as a 'non-celebrity' and unlike 'anybody else he's ever dated,' per Page Six.
The outlet added that Davidson is 'very happy' and that his new lady 'respects Pete and his desire for privacy.'
Despite his preference to stay out of the limelight, Hewitt went Instagram official with her beau in late March.
Their relationship went public that month when they were spotted at a luxury beachfront hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. They packed on the PDA while swimming and lounging in the sun.
The couple made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 13th Annual Blossom Ball in May.
Davidson's relationship with Hewitt comes after his split with Madelyn Cline last year.
His previous high-profile relationships include his whirlwind engagement to Ariana Grande as well as flings with Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, and Kaia Gerber.
He famously struck up a romance with Kim Kardashian after the two crossed paths when she was a guest star on Saturday Night Live in October 2021. Their time together came to an end in August 2022.
Pete then briefly dated supermodel Emily Ratajkowski and started a relationship with his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders in 2023.

Have loved-up Fearne and her Rivals director boyfriend been hitting the his 'n' hers hair dye? Couple sport matching golden locks as they take a leisurely stroll in south west London
With their romance now out of the shadows, Fearne Cotton and TV director Elliot Hegarty stepped out hand-in-hand last week. Following the end of their marriages late last year, and having kept a low profile since being spotted kissing passionately during a night out in Soho in February, it was with a lighter step that the couple strolled around leafy Richmond in south-west London. And with Hegarty, 53, now sporting a fresh peroxide blond makeover to match 43-year-old broadcaster Fearne's golden locks, the kissing drama that exposed their relationship seemed to be a world away. At the time, both had split from their partners just weeks earlier and Hegarty's devastated wife Laura was said to have only known the pair were dating when the passionate photos were published. It was a plot that could have come from TV series Rivals, the Jilly Cooper bonkbuster novel which Hegarty had just directed, or perhaps his BBC1 drama Cheaters. An insider said Laura, 51, is still 'finding it hard to come to terms with Hegarty's new relationship' but has 'kept her head down and concentrated on the children' at their £2million marital home in north London. The source added: 'He has even changed his look and cropped and peroxided his hair since this all started. He was always handsome but more low-key with mousey brown hair. He's like a different person now.' Fearne's husband of ten years Jesse Wood, 48, son of Rolling Stone Ronnie, was said to have been equally shattered when he found she had moved on so quickly just 11 weeks after confirming their separation. Fearne, who has two children Rex, 12, and Honey, nine, opened up last week about her struggles as a single parent. 'Sometimes I have a cry in my car, call one of my best friends and go, 'Are you having a sh**show too?' Yeah... OK, it's not just me. And then I crack on. And then it feels slightly better the next day,' she told a Women's Health podcast.

Strictly Come Dancing faces fresh crisis as 'BBC launch probe into cocaine use by two show stars amid claims their drug use was well-known'
Strictly Come Dancing is facing a fresh crisis as it's been reported that the BBC have launched an investigation into cocaine use by two stars of the show. According to The Sun, the broadcaster hired a law firm to probe allegations of drug taking by two individuals, whose drug use is said to be 'well-known' on the show. The claims were reportedly made in a legal submission to the BBC by law firm Russells back in March, on behalf of former contestant Wynne Evans. The publication also understands other people have also reported the allegations of drug taking on the dance show to the BBC. Amid the independent inquiry, it is said 'former contestants, dancers and crew' alike will have the opportunity to speak with law firm Pinsent Masons to express concerns. A source told The Sun: 'These claims are extremely serious and should be taken as such, given only last year that the BBC's Director-General promised to clean up Strictly, it seems particularly shocking. 'The idea of the show's stars discussing drug-taking is deeply disturbing, the BBC have known about these allegations for some time, and acknowledged receiving them. 'Now they are taking firm action, they've been told that it's well-known that two stars took drugs, including cocaine, which was talked about widely among the cast.' The insider said the BBC understands that one star described another as 'off their face' on drugs, with that person telling one celebrity: 'Have you seen their pupils... they're off their face.' Another celebrity is also said to have told how it was 'well-known' that two of the stars took cocaine, adding that it was 'talked about widely' among the cast. The individuals at the centre of the drug allegations have not been named. Daily Mail contacted BBC representatives for comment, with a spokesperson stating: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. 'We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further.' Daily Mail understands that it is not unusual for the BBC to engage an external individual to provide additional expert resource to help deliver a BBC led investigation. In these cases, they would report into an established BBC team. The shock allegations come just amid a long period of controversy for the BBC and Strictly over the past year or so. In July last year, more than six months after quitting the show citing 'personal reasons', actress Amanda Abbington accused pro dancer Giovanni Pernice of 'unnecessary, cruel and mean behaviour' during their time dancing together on Strictly. Giovanni rejected the claims immediately, and a BBC investigation ruled in September that her claims of physical aggression and threatening behaviour were not upheld. When BBC bosses published their report into Giovanni's behaviour, it cleared him of the most serious allegations of physical aggression, but upheld verbal bullying and harassment. Complaints of verbal bullying and harassment meant the BBC issued an apology to Amanda, but Giovanni said he was 'pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour'. Elsewhere, the show was plunged into crisis after Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans made a controversial joke during his time preparing for the Strictly tour in January. He used a vile sexual innuendo and was also caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with dance partner Katya Jones, who seemed to remove his arm from her lower waist on the show. After the BBC launched an investigation into his conduct, bosses decided not to renew his radio contract for his show. The TV star confirmed in May that they will not be renewing his one-year rolling contract following a four-month investigation after the inappropriate comments made during his time on Strictly. Elsewhere, in further scandals for the BBC, Gregg Wallace was recently dismissed from MasterChef after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation. While his co-star John Torode [left] was also sacked after two decades over allegations that he used the N-word, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of While his co-star John Torode was also sacked after two decades over allegations that he used the N-word, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of. In further controversy, it's recently been reported that Naga Munchetty could face an investigation from BBC bosses after she was accused of bullying a junior colleague. The BBC Breakfast host, 50, has been placed 'under review' while bosses consider escalating complaints to a formal investigation, The Sun reports. A source said higher-ups had heard from several colleagues and logged concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour on the breakfast show, as well as her Radio 5 Live show.

Nostalgia is eating us alive. Instead of building a new world, we're regurgitating a past that never existed
There has been much talk about our hunger for a 'return to optimism'. Our world has been too real for too long, and we all just want a bit of shelter from the storm. We look back in patronising nostalgia at Obama's Hope poster in the same way we insist music hasn't been real music since about 1986 (or since 1966, or since the Great American Songbook, or since Mozart, depending who you talk to). Movie theatres are propped up by two monolith tent poles: DC's umpteenth Superman and Marvel's Fantastic Four reboot, both attempting a full factory reset of their flagship properties. It offers a return to the originals – AKA, the 'good old days'. But this isn't so much a yearning for a new optimism as it is a resuscitation of an old one. The Fantastic Four is even set in a 1960s Jetsons-style alternate reality (the first comic was published in 1961). Remember this? This is Things As They Should Be™. The great irony in this regurgitation of old aesthetics is that, they themselves looked forward. The joy and optimism of the space age showcased the marvellous and fantastic possibilities of technology and science, before we knew that those same industries would slowly start choking our own atmosphere. We want to go back to that time, when we could feel good about driving our big shiny bubble cars and tease our hair up guilt-free – without thinking about the ozone or whatever. This perceived collective optimism was never real, of course. But now, after decades of doom storytelling and hope erosion, we want the dream back. What's happening in the culture is more than the good honest fun of theme park recreations, 1950s diners and old west camera filters. This is an earnest but somehow deeply sad defibrillation of dead worlds, built around a hollow craving that can never ever be filled. We are birds constantly regurgitating and eating our own upchuck. Same flavour but different colour, different flavour but same chunks. Its passion looks inspirational, but its sniff is grief. It works, but not quite — as fresh as microwaved leftovers. It's the cultural equivalent of Maga – the lie that there was some glorious past where things were flourishing and wholesome and if we can just get back there we'll be on track again. But there never was that past. It's a distortion of immature childhood memories and historical rewriting by big corporations. This is the multiverse made real by an increasingly small cabal of conglomerates leveraging their various assets, stuffing each storytelling turducken full of old money-makers to reduce the risk in anything new. It's not so much the multiverse as the IP-verse. Every brand everywhere all at once. Over time this starts to feel like a photocopy of a photocopy. The AI boom is quite literally sampling and recycling things that already exist. When I see a brand-new building proudly inspired by the art deco movement of 100 years ago, I wonder if the great deco designers knew way back then that they were on the blind precipice of the future, or were they recreating their own nostalgic past? I wonder, as typography and graphic design trends cycle through recreations of past 'vintage' ideas, what the concept of 'vintage' meant to people back when it was, to them, modern? Having lost hope for the future, we have always looked back for comfort. We have to be cautious of the reasons why. Why did Nazi aesthetics have such a fetish for ancient Rome? Why did Soviet culture idolise modern industrial style? Even in The Handmaid's Tale's Gilead, they revere the natural and organic by insisting on non-GM and high-fat foods. The world around us tells us a lot about our beliefs. We are all potential victims of this ideological myth-making. It's invisible but everywhere, and it's difficult to tell if people in power aim to manufacture a world that matches their values or if it's some kind of naturally developing, laissez-faire attraction. We're all dreaming of a better time from the past, since there is no future. We've stopped dreaming about building – now we dream of recreating. It's not recreating the actual thing that we want, it's the yearning to recreate the feeling we had back then. In my local city centre, I drive past heritage-protected sandstone buildings with the names of the original shopfronts still carved at the top. The mason etching that date in the rock was doing it for the future, so as time stretched on his mark would stay there, even for me now as I whip past the exact same building in a space shuttle machine he could never even dream of. Imagine a shop front named something like, 'Nolan and Sons Merchants, est. 1861.' And on the shop front awning below it, computer-printed on laminate in an deliberately old-timey font, 'Buzz'd Cafe, est. 2025.' Take a sledgehammer to the wall of this cafe. Pierce the membrane of lino wallpaper printed to look like rustic bricks and find sterile chalk-white plasterboard from the previous shop, which was itself once added to modernise and cover the rustic brick walls beneath. You can find these rings of a tree in everything: generations on top of generations of us each trying to make our own existence matter and either cover or recover the ones before us. So, do we seek comfort in the baby blanket of our past myths – or do we try to create our own new ones? Martin Ingle is a writer and film-maker
