Pete Davidson is stepping into a brand-new chapter—fatherhood—and by all accounts, he couldn’t be more thrilled. The comedian and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, are expecting their first child together, and insiders close to the couple say the energy around them is nothing short of joyful. After years in the public eye for his relationships, comedy career, and personal battles, Davidson seems to be settling into a quieter, more grounded phase of life—one that centers on love, family, and purpose.
According to PEOPLE, the couple has been quietly sharing their joy with friends and family since learning the news. “They’re both very nurturing people and are very, very happy together and to be starting a family,” one insider shared. For Davidson, who has publicly expressed a desire to become a father in the past, this moment feels especially meaningful. After facing intense media scrutiny, mental health struggles, and a rollercoaster of high-profile romances, becoming a dad seems to be something he’s been working toward emotionally and mentally for a while. “It’s a really sweet time after everything Pete has overcome,” the source added. “He’s so excited. He’s always wanted to be a dad.”
Another insider echoed those sentiments, emphasizing Davidson’s personal growth in recent years. “He’s grown up a lot,” they said. “He’s so excited about this next chapter as a dad. Pete and Elsie are happy and cannot wait to welcome their baby.” Notably, their relationship has remained low-key, with those close to them saying it was never about the attention or headlines. That privacy, the source noted, is exactly what Davidson has been craving. He’s reportedly become far more intentional about who he lets into his life, and Elsie has been a grounding presence throughout that shift.
Their relationship timeline may have unfolded quickly, but insiders say it’s been anything but rushed. The couple first made headlines in March when they were spotted enjoying a beach day in Palm Beach, Florida. A few months later, sources confirmed they’d been living together in New York—splitting time between Pete’s upstate house and a brownstone they began renting in Brooklyn. “They’re doing great,” one friend shared back in May. “Very happy.”
With their baby on the way and Davidson embracing a quieter, more purposeful lifestyle, it’s clear this new chapter is more than just a personal milestone—it’s a full-circle moment for someone who’s fought hard to get here.
