Pete Davidson announces baby news in the most Pete way—and yes, there are photos

It’s official: Pete Davidson is going to be a dad—and he announced it in the most Pete Davidson way possible.

In a photo carousel posted to girlfriend and actor Elsie Hewitt’s Instagram, the Saturday Night Live alum can be seen hugging her from behind in a sweet film snap. A second slide reveals a sonogram of their baby on the way. And in case that didn’t make things clear enough, Elsie’s cheeky caption sealed it: “welp now everyone knows we had sex.” (If you look closely, there’s even a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it “Mamacita” nod for the Love Island USA fans.)

According to TMZ. Sources close to the couple say Elsie is due this winter, and they’ve only recently begun sharing the news with friends and family. “The pair couldn’t be more excited,” TMZ reports.

Their relationship may have started quietly, but it moved quickly. The couple first sparked dating rumors in March 2025 and, as People reported in May, had moved in together shortly after. Since then, they’ve made low-key appearances abroad and at Dave Navarro’s wedding, but this post marks a much more personal milestone.

While the post was peak Pete—irreverent, hilarious, and low-key chaotic—it’s also been years in the making.

Back in 2022, during an episode of Hart to Heart, Davidson shared that it’s his “dream” to one day become a father. Despite not having a great childhood, he called himself “a family guy.”

“My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve is, I wanna have a kid. That’s, like, my dream,” the comedian and actor told Kevin Hart. “It’s, like, super corny, but it … would be so fun to dress up the little dude.”

He noted that he’s “so excited for that chapter.” “That’s kind of what I’m just preparing for now, is just trying to be as good as a dude and develop and get better so when that happens it’s just easier,” he added.

Now, just a few years later, that dream is becoming real.

Among the first to celebrate? Pete’s longtime friend Machine Gun Kelly, who dropped into the comments with: “these playdates bout to hittttt.” The baby isn’t even here yet, and the group text energy is already immaculate.

For millions of parents, it’s a deeply familiar shift: the moment you go from being known for who you were to being known as someone’s parent. The moment everything quietly changes.

No word yet on baby names or nursery colors. But based on the hug, the grin, and the caption only Pete could pull off, this next chapter already feels unforgettable.
