Comedian Pete Davidson and model-actress Elsie Hewitt are expecting their first child together, marking a new chapter in their relationship that began quietly in early 2025. The couple has moved from public displays of affection during a beach day in Palm Beach to establishing a family life with red carpet appearances and a new home in Brooklyn.
Elsie Hewitt’s Journey to Motherhood with Pete Davidson
For Pete Davidson, 31, fatherhood is a milestone he has long anticipated. Known for his work on Saturday Night Live, Davidson’s desire to become a dad has been openly expressed in past interviews, showing a softer side behind his often turbulent public life. Hewitt, originally from Britain, has also experienced her share of highs and lows in Hollywood as a model turned actress, carving out her space with determination despite industry rejections based on her “look.”
Elsie Hewitt once shared,
“Time and time again I was told my ‘look just isn’t right,’ I’m ‘too commercial,’ ‘too curvy’. The point is I didn’t take no for an answer.”
—Elsie Hewitt, Model and Actress
Her resilience was fueled by her admiration for screen legends like Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet. Now, as they prepare for parenthood, Davidson and Hewitt’s evolving relationship prompts curiosity about how this new phase will influence both their personal and professional lives.
Notable Past Relationships of Elsie Hewitt
Before becoming a partner to Davidson, Elsie Hewitt’s romantic history included several well-known figures in the entertainment industry. Each relationship helped shape her into the woman who is now stepping into motherhood with Davidson.
1. Romance and Industry Ties with Benny Blanco
Elsie Hewitt’s relationship with music producer Benny Blanco began in 2019 on the set of the music video for “Graduation,” a Juice WRLD and Benny Blanco collaboration featuring Hewitt. The connection they formed led to public appearances, including their red carpet debut at the Spotify Best New Artist party in early 2020. Their time together lasted until later that year, after which they parted ways quietly.
Blanco has since become engaged to singer Selena Gomez. According to reports, their wedding is scheduled for September in Montecito, California, promising to be a major Hollywood celebration.

Hewitt’s involvement with Blanco positioned her closer to elite entertainment circles, even as she continued to pursue her own career ambitions.
2. Controversial Legal Dispute with Ryan Phillippe
One of Elsie Hewitt’s most turbulent relationships was with actor Ryan Phillippe, known for his role in Cruel Intentions. Their involvement began in April 2017 but ended abruptly by July, followed by legal allegations from Hewitt accusing Phillippe of physical assault during a confrontation at his home. Phillippe’s representatives denied the claims, emphasizing the severity of false allegations.
“Domestic violence is an incredibly serious issue and fabricated and proven false claims should not be used to unjustly slander the falsely accused. The claims are false.”

Phillippe’s past includes a high-profile marriage to Reese Witherspoon, whom he met in 1997 and married two years later. Their divorce was finalized in 2007, with joint custody arrangements of their two children established shortly after.
3. Brief Relationship with Jason Sudeikis
In early 2024, Elsie Hewitt was seen in a relationship with actor Jason Sudeikis, famous for starring in Ted Lasso. While their romance maintained a low profile, appearances such as a date at the U.S. Open drew media attention. By the end of 2024, the relationship quietly ended without controversy.
Sudeikis, 49, has a history of notable relationships, including a marriage to screenwriter Kay Cannon and a widely publicized romance with Olivia Wilde. His brief connection with Hewitt did not develop into anything long-term.
Looking Ahead: Embracing Parenthood with Pete Davidson
Elsie Hewitt’s past relationships, marked by both glamour and challenges, contrast with her current partnership with Pete Davidson, which appears grounded in a shared excitement for the future.

“It’s super corny, but it would be so fun to dress up a little dude. I’m so excited for that chapter.”

With a due date expected in winter, the couple is preparing for a life that involves more than red carpet moments and Hollywood headlines. Whether this relationship brings lasting stability remains to be seen, but the arrival of their child will undoubtedly shape their lives in profound ways.
