All About Elsie Hewitt, Pete Davidson’s Girlfriend
Pete Davidson is taken—and living with his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt. On May 14, a source told People that the couple is now “splitting their time between Davidson’s place in upstate New York and a brownstone they recently started renting in Brooklyn.”
Davidson and Hewitt went public with their relationship in March, although they have kept most of it private since then.
In February, Davidson expressed frustration with his dating life overshadowing his work. “It was pretty humiliating and upsetting, honestly,” he told Page Six. “It’s embarrassing because you want people to write about your work. I was one of the youngest-ever cast members on SNL and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating.”
The comedian has a history of high-profile relationships, but Hewitt marks a new chapter in his love life. She is an actress, a model, and a food influencer who has built a following in various creative industries. Here’s everything to know about Hewitt and her relationship with Davidson.
On March 20, Elsie Hewitt made her relationship with Pete Davidson public with a subtle Instagram Story. The model shared a clip of herself watching Rugrats, with Davidson making a cameo at the end as he walked into the room wearing a bathrobe.
That same day, People reported that Davidson and Hewitt were dating after they were spotted kissing on the beach in Palm Beach, Florida.
A source told Page Six on March 17 that Davidson is “very happy” with his new relationship, adding that Hewitt “respects Pete and his desire for privacy.” The insider also noted that Davidson’s mother and sister “approve of this relationship and love seeing Pete so happy.”
Born in London on March 5, 1996, Hewitt moved to Los Angeles at age 10, according to her IMDb. She began modeling as a teenager and later starred in Guess’s spring/summer 2018 campaign.
In a May 2018 Facebook post, Hewitt wrote, “When I started modeling I couldn’t get an agent. I met with every single agency in L.A. and time and time again I was told my ‘look just isn’t right,’ I’m ‘too commercial,’ ‘too curvy,’ ‘not a good fit,’ etc. The point is I didn’t take no for an answer, I set many goals for myself in modeling, and Guess was a big one. It’s special to me to work with a company that embodies empowerment and confidence in the same way.”
She was also named Playboy’s Miss June in 2017. In her interview, she revealed, “I’ve been working since I was 15, and I’m totally independent.” She also touched on several other topics including her views on social media and the importance of positivity.
Alongside her modeling career, Hewitt has acted in multiple film and television projects. She appeared in Teenage Badass (2020), Turnt (2018), and the FX series Dave. Most recently, she had a role in HBO’s Industry, portraying Suzie Huppert in season 3.
“I think I have always wanted to act ever since I was little,” Hewitt revealed in a video interview to promote Upon Waking Film, in which she stars. “But you know when you’re a little girl and everyone just wants to be an actress? When you’re little, everyone is saying they want to be an actor and want to be on TV. I always knew I wanted to do it and I sort of grew up seeing it because my dad was a director.”
“I remember once I decided I really wanted to do this, I sat down and watched and studied all of the greats,” she added. “My favorite actresses, Faye Dunaway, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Kate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, all of these women that I don’t even understand how they do it. I’m still trying to figure it out and have so much to learn. But there are so many women I look up to that inspire me every day in that realm.”
Before her relationship with Davidson, Hewitt was linked to other public figures. She was rumored to be dating actor Jason Sudeikis in early 2024 after they were seen together outside a nightclub in Los Angeles. In September, they also attended the U.S. Open together.
Prior to that, she was in a relationship with music producer Benny Blanco, who is now engaged to Selena Gomez. Hewitt and Blanco reportedly met in 2019 while filming the music video for Juice WRLD’s “Graduation,” in which they both starred.
Outside of modeling and acting, Hewitt has carved out a niche in the food world. Her now-inactive YouTube channel, Elsie Eats, featured restaurant visits and home-cooking content for over 14,000 subscribers. She also runs a dedicated food Instagram account with over 45,000 followers.
Hewitt has been open about her love for food, telling Playboy in 2017 that Italian cuisine is her favorite, with pasta and steak among her go-to meals. “I also have a huge sweet tooth,” she said at the time. “I love desserts. I love food.”
“Romance doesn’t have to be a grand gesture; it doesn’t have to be expensive,” Hewitt told Playboy in 2017. “I think time is the most valuable thing. More than anything, I appreciate the quality time when you feel you’re really connecting with someone.”
She believes that love “is the best thing in the world. I love to love, but it’s not replaceable. It’s not rational. It’s not something you can decide with your brain. Your brain will tell you one thing, but your heart will do something completely different. You know what’s right. You know what’s wrong. Sometimes it just gets to the point where you’re like, ‘I don’t even know what I’m doing.’”
As of May 2025, Davidson and Hewitt have lived together “for the past few months.” On May 14, a source told People that the couple is “splitting their time between Pete’s house in upstate New York and a brownstone they recently started renting in Brooklyn.”
“They’re so happy together and doing great,” the insider added.
On May 15, Davidson and Hewitt stepped out together at the 13th Annual Blossom Ball in New York City, making their first red carpet appearance as a couple. Hewitt was in a gold ankle-length dress and black heels, while Davidson complemented her in a sheer cream button-down, white tank top, beige trousers, and black dress shoes. He accessorized with black sunglasses as they posed for photos and had his arm around Hewitt’s waist.
