Comedy’s favorite bad boy Pete Davidson and stunning model Elsie Hewitt are officially Hollywood’s hottest new couple, and they’re not afraid to show it. The pair turned their recent date night into a very public display of affection, proving their whirlwind romance is anything but casual.
The lovebirds were spotted enjoying a night out at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, April 28, where they watched the New York Knicks take on the Phoenix Suns. While the home team might have suffered a loss (112-98), Davidson and Hewitt were clearly winning in the romance department.
Photographers captured the celebrity couple walking hand-in-hand through the crowd, looking completely smitten with each other. With prime courtside seats, the pair wasn’t just there to see basketball—they were there to be seen.
An eyewitness told us, “They couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Even with thousands of fans around, they seemed completely in their own world.”
If you’re thinking this relationship came out of nowhere, you’d be right. The Saturday Night Live alum and the British beauty first set tongues wagging in March when they were photographed in a steamy beach embrace in Miami.
Those initial paparazzi shots caught the pair in an intimate moment that left little doubt about their relationship status—kissing in the ocean and cuddling on a lounge chair. TMZ quickly confirmed what the photos suggested: Davidson and Hewitt were officially an item.
Since then, the couple has been spotted together multiple times in both New York City and Florida, suggesting they’re making their bicoastal relationship work despite busy schedules.
In one of their most significant couple milestones yet, Elsie shared photos from their trip to Scotland, where they attended rocker Dave Navarro’s wedding to Vanessa DuBasso. Nothing says “we’re serious” quite like traveling internationally for a wedding date!
Let’s be honest—both Pete and Elsie have impressive dating resumes that read like Hollywood A-list directories.
Pete’s legendary romantic history includes high-profile relationships with Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, and Emily Ratajkowski. The comedian’s ability to charm some of the world’s most beautiful women has become something of a cultural phenomenon, with fans and media alike speculating about his apparent magnetism.
Elsie’s dating history isn’t quite as extensive but still includes notable names like producer Benny Blanco and actor Jason Sudeikis. The model and actress, known for her role in Teenage Badass, has generally kept a lower profile in her romantic life until now.
Sources close to the couple suggest their shared sense of humor might be the magic ingredient. “Pete obviously makes her laugh, and she appreciates his down-to-earth personality despite his fame,” reveals an insider. “They both have this refreshing authenticity that’s rare in Hollywood.”
While it’s still early days for this relationship, insiders say both parties appear to be all-in. “They’re spending as much time together as their busy schedules allow,” says a source close to Davidson. “What started as casual has quickly evolved into something more meaningful.”
With Pete’s comedy career continuing to flourish and Elsie’s modeling work keeping her in demand, the couple will need to navigate the challenges of busy careers and public scrutiny. But if their public displays of affection are any indication, they’re more than ready to face those challenges together.
One thing’s for sure—we’ll be watching this hot new romance with bated breath. Will Pete’s relationship with Elsie break his pattern of whirlwind romances, or is this just another chapter in his colorful dating history? Only time will tell, but right now, these two are definitely enjoying the honeymoon phase.
