Pete Davidson has expressed guilt over his pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt being unable to have a private pregnancy due to his celebrity status. The Saturday Night Live comedian, 31, opened up about his concerns during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club podcast.
Davidson and Hewitt, 29, announced they were expecting their first child together last month through an Instagram post featuring sonogram images. The caption simply read: "welp now everyone knows we had sex."
Fame's impact on pregnancy
"I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of s***," Davidson said on the iHeart Radio show. "Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing."
The comedian emphasised how pregnancy should be a private experience, but his fame makes that impossible. "She's a very private person, and she's the one doing all the work," he explained. "It's supposed to be a beautiful experience."
Despite his guilt about the public attention, Davidson noted that Hewitt hasn't expressed any resentment towards him about the situation. "She's never made me feel this way or said anything," he said, "But I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy."
Relationship timeline
Davidson and Hewitt, a model, went public with their romance in March 2024 during a vacation in Florida. According to Mirror reports, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Blossom Ball in May.
According to Page Six, Hewitt is due to give birth in early winter. The comedian has previously expressed frustration about being known primarily for his high-profile relationships rather than his comedy work.
Past relationships
Davidson has a well-documented history of famous relationships, including Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, and Kate Beckinsale. His most recent relationship before Hewitt was with Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline, which ended in 2024.
Hewitt was previously romantically linked to music producer Benny Blanco, who is now engaged to Selena Gomez. The former couple dated from 2019 after Hewitt appeared in a music video for Blanco and the late Juice WRLD.
