The Moment

Pete Davidson is officially in his baby shower era, and yes, there were bunnies, bagels and a very on-brand makeout moment.

Over the weekend, pregnant model Elsie Hewitt, 29, shared photos and a video from the couple’s bunny-themed baby shower on Instagram. In the clip, guests crowd around a long table racing to diaper teddy bears, while Elsie turns and shares a tender kiss with the 32-year-old SNL alum and “Bupkis” star in the background.

Elsie showed off the details: a table stacked with Coterie-brand diapers, wipes and creams; a flower-covered cake station topped with a stuffed bunny; what looked like carrot cake; and a shot of herself snuggled up with a freshly diapered teddy bear. It’s Pinterest-core, but in a slightly chaotic, very real way.

She summed up the day in a caption that sounded exactly like a sleep-deprived group chat: “Sweetest special-est day filled with love and cake and diapers and fwends and hugs and bagels and gifts for my lil bunny on the way .”

The shower comes just days after Elsie opened up in Instagram Stories about extremely painful symptoms in her pregnancy, which she says are tied to Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. “I am just straight-up suffering and in so much pain every single day. I actually really don’t know how it could get worse than this,” she told followers earlier this month.

Despite that, at the shower she’s smiling, licking frosting off her fingers in one photo, cradling her bump in another, and leaning into the “little bunny” theme without veering into full-blown sponsored content – even with those towered-up diaper packs in the background.

The Take

I’ll say it: seeing Pete Davidson in front of a wall of diapers feels like spotting your favorite dive bar suddenly serving brunch. Confusing at first, but… kind of where life was always heading.

For years, Pete’s love life was its own late-night punchline – the guy who somehow dated every famous woman with an Instagram account and good cheekbones. Now we’re watching him do the suburban greatest hits: cradling sonogram printouts, kissing his very pregnant girlfriend while guests play baby-shower games, standing next to a cake with a stuffed bunny on top. The man has gone from “big energy” to big Baby Bjorn potential.

What actually lands, though, isn’t the kiss; it’s the mix of cute and brutally honest. Celebrity pregnancy posts are usually all ethereal bump photos and “so blessed” captions. Elsie is over here saying, in plain English, that she’s “straight-up suffering” – and then letting people see her celebrate anyway. That’s a much more relatable version of motherhood than the carefully filtered, matching-pajamas brand of it we usually get.

The shower itself looks like the middle ground a lot of millennial and Gen Z parents are trying to find: yes, you have the aesthetic (bunny theme, pretty florals, fancy diapers), but the vibe is closer to, “your chaotic cousin’s baby shower in the church basement where everyone actually eats carbs and competes at silly games.” It’s not a 12-part sponsored series; it’s one messy carousel.

And for Pete, this feels like a pivot moment. Instead of being the punchline to who he’s dating now, he’s stepping into a story that could stick for decades: comedian, partner, dad. Think less “high-profile rebound” and more “the guy trying to install a car seat at 2 a.m. before a taping.” If he’s smart, he’ll lean into that – not as some rebrand, but as proof that the emotionally open, slightly fragile persona we’ve seen on screen has room for grown-up love and responsibility.

In a culture that still loves to sneer “another Pete Davidson girlfriend” every time his name trends, a teddy-bear diaper race and a bunny cake might be the most radical image of him yet.

Receipts

Separating what’s solid from what’s just whispered:

  • Confirmed
    • Elsie Hewitt shared photos and video of a bunny-themed baby shower featuring Pete Davidson on her public Instagram account on a recent Saturday.
    • In the video, she turns to kiss Davidson while guests participate in a teddy-bear diapering game at a long table.
    • Her caption described the event as a day filled with “love and cake and diapers and fwends and hugs and bagels and gifts” for her “lil bunny on the way.”
    • Other images from the same post show a decorated cake table with a stuffed bunny, stacks of Coterie diapers and a photo of Elsie hugging a diapered teddy bear.
    • In Instagram Stories earlier this month, Elsie said she is experiencing severe daily pain during pregnancy and linked it to her diagnosed Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
    • The couple went public with their relationship in March during a PDA-heavy vacation in Palm Beach, Florida, documented in photos shared online and via Elsie’s Instagram Stories.
    • Elsie announced the pregnancy in July with an Instagram carousel that included ultrasound footage and a shot of Pete cradling her baby bump, joking in the caption: “welp now everyone knows we had sex.”
    • Public event photos from the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s 13th Annual Blossom Ball earlier this year show Pete and Elsie attending together as a couple.
  • Unverified / Reported
    • Entertainment reporting has said the baby is due in early winter; the couple themselves have not publicly shared an exact due date.
    • An unnamed source has claimed Pete is “so excited for this next chapter” and that his family is thrilled – that’s secondhand, not a direct quote from Pete or his relatives.

Backstory (For Casual Readers)

If you haven’t kept a running spreadsheet of Pete Davidson’s personal life (honestly, good for you), here’s the short version. Pete is a comedian and actor best known for his years on Saturday Night Live, his semi-autobiographical film “The King of Staten Island”, and his Peacock series “Bupkis”. He’s also become tabloid shorthand for high-profile relationships, having previously dated Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and several other very famous women.

Elsie Hewitt is a model and actress who has worked with major fashion and lifestyle brands and popped up in smaller film and TV roles. The two were first linked publicly in early 2025 after being spotted on vacation and later appearing together at a charity gala. By July, Elsie had confirmed they were expecting their first child together, sharing playful, slightly chaotic pregnancy content that matched Pete’s offbeat sense of humor.

What’s Next

Based on previous reporting, their baby is expected to arrive sometime in early winter, which means this shower was likely one of the last big public moments before things get very real – and very sleep-deprived.

In the short term, keep an eye on Instagram, not red carpets. Elsie has already set the tone by talking honestly about her health and pain, while still letting fans see the sweet parts of this chapter. It would not be surprising if the birth announcement, when it comes, is less glam shoot and more blurry, joy-drunk photo with an appropriately unhinged caption.

For Pete, the next act is less about who he dates and more about how he parents – and whether he can balance stand-up tours, acting gigs and the very unglamorous reality of newborn life. If the baby shower is any clue, he’s all-in on the corny games, the matching themes and the hands-on affection.

And honestly? For a man who’s made a career out of turning his messiest moments into punchlines, watching him help welcome an actual “little bunny” into the world might be the plot twist his story needed.
