Pete Davidson Steps Into The Red Carpet With His New Love
Pete Davidson finally steps into the spotlight with his new romantic interest. On May 15, he appeared with model Elsie Hewitt and hinted at a more grounded love chapter of his life.
On Thursday, May 15, the Saturday Night Live alum, 31, stepped out with Hewitt at the 13th Annual Blossom Ball in New York City. Thus, marking their official red carpet debut as a couple. The event raises awareness for endometriosis and honors those advocating for women’s health. It was an unexpectedly poignant backdrop for the couple’s first public appearance.
Davidson, known for pairing a low-key attitude with a high-fashion touch, opted for a sheer, nude-toned striped button-down. He also chose to wear it over a tank top, paired with relaxed slacks and classic black shoes. As always, he added a touch of irreverence with dark shades. Hewitt complemented the look with a shimmering gold sequin gown and minimalist black heels. Her hair, styled into a sleek high bun, brought a polished elegance to the couple’s red carpet chemistry.
The pair posed closely, and Davidson wrapped his arm around Hewitt’s waist while she rested a hand on his shoulder. The description may seem simple, but the image feels more intimate than performative. It’s a shift in tone for the comedian, often seen dodging the more formal trappings of fame.
Pete Davidson and His Relationship Changes
Their appearance at the Blossom Ball is the latest in a string of sightings that confirm the two are more than a fling. First linked in March, Davidson and Hewitt were photographed sharing a kiss while swimming in Palm Beach, Florida. Days later, Hewitt made things Instagram official, posting a cozy video of Davidson in a bathrobe. The coupl was laughing in front of an old Rugrats episode. That soft launch into social media romance gave fans a more candid view of their dynamic. It’s definitely playful, low-pressure, and refreshingly normal by celebrity standards.
The couple also recently jetted off to Scotland to attend Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro’s wedding, where Hewitt documented the trip on Instagram. Among the snapshots is a video of the couple walking side by side, Davidson planting a kiss on her forehead. The vibe? Subtle but sincere.
Davidson’s relationship with Hewitt follows his quiet breakup with Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline eight months prior. Hewitt, meanwhile, has had a few high-profile ties herself. Among them are brief links to Jason Sudeikis and a past relationship with Ryan Phillippe, whom she sued in 2017 over alleged domestic abuse. This case brought renewed attention to the treatment of women in Hollywood.
Now, as Pete Davidson steps into the public eye again—this time not for a new film or late-night sketch, but hand-in-hand with someone who appears to match his wavelength—the move feels less like a stunt and more like a slow reveal of something steady. Davidson and Hewitt’s coordinated calm stands out in a celebrity culture obsessed with flash and spectacle.
And while the couple’s future remains unwritten, their red carpet debut was a signal: Pete Davidson may finally be stepping into a season less about the chase—and more about the real thing.
