The Comedian & The Model: A Match Made in Modern Hollywood
When Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt made a cozy, courtside appearance at the New York Knicks vs. Phoenix Suns game in Madison Square Garden on April 6, 2025, they instantly became the buzziest couple in celebrity circles. The two were spotted snuggled up in the front row, sharing giggles, flirty glances, and that undeniable spark we’ve come to associate with a classic celeb “hard launch.” But their love story — and their individual stories — go far deeper than a viral date night.
Let’s dive into the full picture of this newly minted couple: who they are, how they met, what they’ve done, and why everyone’s watching them now.
Pete Davidson: From Staten Island to Superstardom
Born November 16, 1993, in Staten Island, Pete Davidson‘s path to fame wasn’t exactly textbook. He’s best known for his eight-season run on “Saturday Night Live”, where his awkward charm, dry wit, and deeply personal comedy sketches made him a standout. But Pete’s humor is born out of tragedy — he lost his father, a firefighter, during the 9/11 attacks, an experience he has often incorporated into his raw and heartfelt material.
Outside of SNL, Pete’s had a meteoric, if sometimes chaotic, Hollywood ride. From leading roles in films like “The King of Staten Island”, “Bodies Bodies Bodies”, and the Netflix comedy “Bupkis”, to headline-grabbing relationships (yes, we’re talking Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Emily Ratajkowski), Davidson’s love life and career have always made waves.
Despite being a tabloid regular, Pete has always remained oddly relatable — a mix of edgy vulnerability and offbeat humor that makes him a fan favorite and paparazzi magnet alike.

Elsie Hewitt: Glamour Girl with Brains & Bite

Elsie Hewitt, born March 5, 1996, in London, England, is a model, actress, and content creator who’s built a name for herself beyond her stunning looks. She moved to Los Angeles as a teenager, and soon after, landed modeling gigs with Guess, Calvin Klein, and Playboy, the latter of which featured her as a Playmate — a title she wore with effortless class and charisma.
But don’t box her into the “just a model” category. Elsie is a multitalented creative — she’s appeared in TV series like “Turnt”, “Dave”, and the BBC/HBO drama “Industry”. She’s also the mind behind @elsieeats, a foodie-focused Instagram page where she shares her culinary adventures and restaurant picks with her devoted followers.

A regular on the L.A. scene, Elsie has dated a few high-profile names — most notably Jason Sudeikis post-Olivia Wilde — but has always kept a relatively low profile compared to the drama-drenched headlines that tend to follow her current beau.
The Love Story: From Florida Flings to NY Nights
The first sparks between Pete and Elsie reportedly flew in March 2025, when they were spotted vacationing together in Florida. Paparazzi snapped pics of the duo strolling beaches and sipping drinks, prompting immediate speculation about whether the comedian and the model were romantically involved.
It wasn’t long before they made their relationship Instagram official, and from there, their public outings have only gotten more frequent — and more fabulous. After Florida came a romantic trip to Scotland, where the couple attended Dave Navarro’s wedding, and now, the two have returned stateside, making one heck of a splash courtside at the Knicks game.
Their body language? Cozy. Their vibes? Playful. Their chemistry? Off the charts.
Courtside Couture: Casual, Cool, & Camera-Ready
At the Madison Square Garden appearance, both stars showed up looking effortlessly stylish:
-
Pete Davidson rocked a grey-blue hoodie layered under a black leather jacket, paired with denim jeans and his signature laid-back energy.
-
Elsie Hewitt turned heads in a white tank top, black jacket, and deep brown leather pants, accessorized with gold hoops and layered necklaces — effortlessly chic and very on-brand for the modern It Girl.
Their appearance was paparazzi candy, and they knew it — but their comfort with each other made the moment more authentic than posed. Sitting close, laughing, and clearly in sync, they gave off real couple energy, not just a photo-op partnership.
Party Life & Paparazzi: The Hollywood Element
While neither Pete nor Elsie is a stranger to attention, both of them seem to walk the fame tightrope with surprising grace.
Pete, who’s been to rehab multiple times and openly discusses his struggles with borderline personality disorder and substance use, has become an advocate for mental health — something fans deeply respect. He often credits comedy as his lifeline, and his sincerity has helped shift the narrative around “troubled celebrity” to one of resilience and openness.
Elsie, meanwhile, has managed to exist in the public eye without falling into it. She’s more likely to be seen at a gallery opening or quiet dinner party than stumbling out of a Hollywood club — though she’s no stranger to big events. Think fashion week appearances, brand campaigns, and low-key house parties with L.A.’s artsy elite.
Together, they represent an interesting mix: edgy but grounded, fun but low-drama (so far), quirky yet classy.
Public Reaction: Hot New Couple Alert
While fans were initially surprised by the pairing, the reaction has been largely positive. On social media, users commented on how “real” and “refreshing” the couple seems, especially given the whirlwind romances of Davidson’s past.
Elsie’s admirers appreciate her authenticity and style, while Pete’s fans have long accepted his dating life as something of a cultural curiosity. But this time, there’s a sense that things might be… different. Slower. More genuine.
Whether it’s their shared creativity, their humor, or just good old-fashioned chemistry, Davidson and Hewitt have struck a chord.
So, What’s Next?
It’s too soon to say whether these two are in it for the long haul — but the early signs are promising. With upcoming projects for both stars (Davidson has a new stand-up tour and film in development, and Hewitt continues to build her digital brand and acting résumé), we can expect to see plenty more of them in the months ahead.

A Love Story in Progress
In a world where celebrity pairings often feel as fleeting as a 24-hour Instagram story, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have emerged as something a bit more intriguing: real, creative, and fun — without all the PR-heavy posturing. Their relationship is still young, but it’s already giving the public a welcome mix of romance, humor, and mutual admiration.
As they continue to make appearances — whether in fashion, film, or front-row seats — one thing’s for sure: this is one duo we’ll be watching with popcorn in hand.
