Pete Davidson says it's been his ‘dream' to be a dad
Pete Davidson is overjoyed to be entering his dad era. The actor and comedian is expecting a child, his first, with his partner Elsie Hewitt. 'I'm very lucky and very, very happy,' he told 'E! News' while attending the New York premiere of his new horror movie 'The Home' this week. Hewitt, a model and actress, made the announcement via Instagram last week sharing photos and a clip of her and the 'SNL' alum from her sonogram. Davidson said he's gotten advice from his 'SNL' buddies Adam Sandler and Colin Jost. 'Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream,' Davidson said. 'They all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing you'll ever do in your life.' Sandler gave me some great advice.' It sounds like the couple have been getting quite a bit of support. 'It's been really nice that everyone's super excited,' he said. 'When you do something, when we do anything, you want everyone to be excited, especially having a child.' Hewitt and Davidson were first publicly linked in March. Davison has previously dated several famous women including Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande. In February he talked to Page Six about why people seem so fascinated with his dating life, which has sparked memes about him being everyone's boyfriend. 'Everyone is dating everyone and it's Hollywood. But because I'm ugly, they wrote about me,' he said at the time. 'I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell.'

Pete Davidson Talks Girlfriend Elsie Hewitt's Pregnancy
Pete Davidson spoke for the first time about news that he's about to become a father. Last week, his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt confirmed that she's pregnant after TMZ first reported the news. The comedian was first publicly linked to the model and actor back in March. At the premiere of his upcoming horror movie The Home, Pete spoke with reporters about everything that's been going on. When asked what kind of father he hopes to be by Entertainment Tonight, Pete replied, "I honestly couldn't be more excited." "As you know, it's been my dream forever, since I was a little kid. The baby's mother is one of my favorite people to ever exist, ever. She's going to be a great mom. I'm just stoked. I hope to be the dad that I hope that I would have," he added. Pete further told E! News that fellow SNL dads Colin Jost and Adam Sandler had given him some advice: "Everyone's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream and they all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing that you'll ever do in your life.'" As for what part of fatherhood he's looking forward to, Pete alluded to his own dad, a firefighter who died on 9/11. "Just being able to take care of something and show it the childhood that I didn't have," he explained. As for how he knew Elsie was "the one," he said, "It was very apparent. We both met through mutual friends who were just like, 'You guys should meet,' and then we met. We weren't really looking for anything and we immediately were just like, 'Oh, wow.'" "I would say she's female me and I'm male her,' he concluded. 'We just laugh all day."

Men really are 'punching' on dating apps! Blokes pursue women who are more attractive than themselves, study confirms
Ladies - if it feels pretty bleak on the dating apps at the moment, scientists might have worked out the reason why. An analysis of online dating sites has revealed that men tend to 'punch' above their attractiveness level when it comes to swipes. Researchers discovered that overall, successful matches were more likely to occur between people with similar levels of desirability. But this means that men have likely ended up settling for someone who they were initially less interested in - after being rejected by more attractive options. 'Women nominate on average slightly less desirable mates, and men send ties (swipes) to women who are on average considerably more desirable than themselves,' the researchers wrote in the journal Plos One. 'Our research…shows that while men often aim high when choosing whom to contact, successful matches tend to happen between people with similar levels of desirability. 'This pattern is largely the result of rejection, rather than an initial preference for similarity.' The findings could shed some light on the success of certain male celebrities including Jay Z, Barry Keoghan and Pete Davidson - all of whom have dated women that many consider to be more attractive than them. The research was carried out by a team from the Ludwig Maximillian University of Munich, in Germany, and the University of Manchester. For their study, the team analysed data on nearly 3,000 heterosexual users of a Czech dating app, including swipes and desirability. Desirability was calculated by working out who received the most swipes. Women tended to rank more highly in this hierarchy, they discovered, largely because the app had many more male users than female ones. Overall, they found that men were more likely to pursue women who ranked as more desirable than them. 'Men tend to send ties (swipes) to women who are on average considerably more desirable than themselves,' the team wrote. 'All these findings together point toward the presence of aspirational pursuit among men, but not among women.' The analysis also revealed a huge discrepancy between how many swipes a person received, with certain individuals receiving triple the average amount of swipes. While some users sent almost no swipes, some were highly active when searching for a partner. The researchers said women's willingness to 'partner down' should be taken with a 'grain of salt' due to the low variability in how desirable men were. Previous research has suggested that married couples often share similar characteristics - such as age, ethnicity or political ideology. Scientists have also found that men and women are good at judging their own attractiveness, and tend to marry people who are similarly attractive. This suggests people largely date and marry people in our own 'league' - as far as beauty is concerned - experts from the University of Florida said. HOW CAN YOU CHECK IF YOU ARE BEING CATFISHED? Dating apps and online websites are plagued with fraudulent profiles, known as 'catfishes'. 'Catfishing' originated as a term for the process of luring people into false relationships, however, it has also come to encompass people giving out false information about themselves more generally. These profiles often use images of another person to allow users to pretend to be someone else in order to get a date, or scam money from a lonelyheart. Fortunately, there are certain ways to check if these profiles are real people or if they are bogus accounts — 1. Google reverse image search This is probably the most valuable tool for catching out a catfish and can be done via Google. To kickstart the process, people need only right-click the photos that are arousing their suspcions, copy the URL and paste it into The search engine will search to see if the image has been used elsewhere. If you find the picture associated with a different person to the one you're speaking to on your dating app, it's likely you've met a catfish! 2. Use an app called Veracity It is useful for dating sites such as Tinder, Bumble and Grindr as it allows images from Dropbox or Camera roll (or similar) to be cross-referenced against any matching results. Load the app, then select a screenshot of the suspicious dating app profile from your camera roll to launch the search. The app will tell you if the picture belongs to somebody else. 3. Check their Facebook Almost everyone who has a profile on a dating site will have a Facebook account (most dating apps require users to have one, after all!) so it is always advisable to track down your potential suitor on other forms of social media. 4. Google them Google and other search engines have an extensive repertoire and most people will crop up in a search. In this day and age, it's unusual for someone to have nothing on Google. Have a search through for them or their relatives, things they've said or posted in the past. If there's nothing, that should raise alarm bells. For prospective romantic engagements, seeing the face of someone you are virtually talking to is essential. 6. Money This is probably a scam and should provide immediate red flags.
