Pete Davidson might have found love again! The comedian took a break from hanging out with Kevin Costner this week and was instead photographed touching tongues with a new woman while hanging out in the ocean. The Daily Mail identified the woman as Elsie Hewitt, a model/actress and “non-celebrity,” according to the tabloid. Davidson was last linked to Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline, but they reportedly broke up early last year.
So, who is Hewitt? Well, as the Daily Mail pointed out, she’s not as well known as some of Davidson’s past flames. She was in one episode of Industry last season and previously appeared on a couple episodes of Lil Dicky’s show Dave. On Instagram, she has 1 million followers on her main page, where she posts her modeling work and well-curated photo dumps. She’s also sort of a food influencer? She has an Instagram account called @elsieeats where posts her meals. (There is also an Elsie Eats YouTube channel that hasn’t been updated since last May.)
While she may be a “non-celebrity,” Hewitt isn’t exactly a regular civilian. In 2017, she dated Ryan Phillippe. (She sued the actor for allegedly physically assaulting her while drunk; Phillippe denied the allegations, and the two settled the case in 2019.) She then reportedly dated Benny Blanco, whom she met on a music-video set. (Do you think he drew her a queso bath too?) In early 2024, she was spotted canoodling with Jason Sudeikis. The two reportedly dated until at least September, when they were photographed together at the U.S. Open.
Now, she looks like she’s having a great time playing in the waves with Davidson (who, by the way, is not as ink-free as that Reformation campaign suggested). A source told the Daily Mail that Davidson is “very happy” with Hewitt, which is great news.
The day after the photos of them smooching in Florida dropped, Hewitt hard launched Davidson on her Instagram Story. The model shared a video of an old TV (the kind that has a VCR in it) playing the Rugrats credits that then panned to Davidson, who was walking into the room wearing a bathrobe. Nothing says, “Yeah, we’re dating” like chilling in your bathrobe watching vintage Nickelodeon.
