He was said to be dating a ‘non-celebrity’ – a notable departure from his usual revolving door of A-list girlfriends – but DailyMail.com can reveal Pete Davidson’s new flame is no stranger to Hollywood.
While she’s not exactly a household name, the comedian’s latest girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, 29, is a model and actress with small TV roles under her belt and who has been romantically linked to other famous faces in the past.
Hewitt, who was born in London before moving to the US, got her start as a model and has since cultivated a growing film and television career.
Her budding relationship with the former SNL star, 31, had been largely hush-hush up until Wednesday, when exclusive DailyMail.com photos showed them canoodling during a steamy beach getaway in Florida.
And just like her boyfriend, Hewitt appears to have a colorful romantic history of high-profile partners, having been linked to actors Jason Sudeikis, Benny Blanco, and Ryan Phillippe in recent years.
After a PDA-packed day in Palm Beach on Saturday, the couple turned up the heat with another hot and heavy spectacle on the sand on Sunday, new DailyMail.com photos show.

Davidson and Hewitt, who were accompanied by two friends, were snapped sharing a sunbed, with the bikini-clad model at one point straddling him and leaning in for a kiss.
The group spent the afternoon soaking up the sun and indulging in refreshing beachside cocktails served by the hotel.
In one photo, Pete, who was covered up in a gray graphic hoodie and sunglasses this time around, can be seen carrying a coconut drink for himself and a cocktail for his new lady, while walking back to their lounge chairs.
Prior to her romance with Davidson, Hewitt had been reported to be dating actor Jason Sudeikis, 49, as recently as last year.
The two made headlines when the Ted Lasso star – who is 20 years her senior – was pictured embracing the British-born actress with an affectionate hug in Hollywood in January 2024.
Hewitt also dated music producer Benny Blanco, who is now engaged to superstar singer Selena Gomez.

Blanco, 36, confirmed the relationship in a 2019 post on Twitter, now X, saying: ‘yeah I have a girlfriend she just goes to another school’.
He included a photo of his arm around a woman’s waist, believed to be Hewitt, who was also tagged in the tweet.
In 2017, her brief relationship with actor and Reese Witherspoon’s ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, became the subject of media attention when Hewitt filed a $1million assault and battery lawsuit against him.
The two were reported to have started dating around April that year, a month after she turned 21, and lasted for three months.
Their bitter legal dispute, which was reported by DailyMail.com at the time, saw Hewitt accuse Phillippe, then 43, of mood swings, drug abuse, and jealous and violent behavior, citing a incident when he ‘lashed out’ at her at a party.
The case was settled out of court in 2019.

Hewitt appeared to be well connected even back then. She has been pictured posing alongside A-listers including Mick Jagger and other stars, online and on her own social media.
In addition to being Playboy’s Miss June 2017, she also has modeled for Guess.
More recently, she appeared in a 2024 episode of Max series Industry, where she played Suzie Huppert. She has also played herself in two episodes of the FX comedy series Dave.
Meanwhile, Davidson, Hollywood’s infamous serial dater who was in a relationship with actress Madelyn Cline until last July, is said to be ‘very happy’ with his latest love interest.
Notorious for his high-profile romances with Hollywood stars, Davidson appears to be keeping his relationship more lowkey this time around – but that didn’t stop him from packing on the PDA with the stunning brunette at the beach over weekend.
Earlier on Wednesday, DailyMail.com published photos of Davidson and Hewitt’s love-soaked dip in the ocean on Saturday.

The couple were snapped locking lips during a steamy makeout session amid the waves, seemingly undaunted by onlookers.
Adding to the beachside spectacle was the SNL alum’s numerous tattoos, which were still very much visible on his back and torso despite him famously undergoing a painful and pricey removal process.
Still, the Bupkis star, clad in black swimming trunks, appeared happy and in his element during the beach outing.
His new lover looked equally besotted, splashing around and smooching with her new beau on and off the sand.
She showed off her fit physique in a patterned multi-colored, cheeky bikini and kept her hair pulled back in a neat bun.
Later, back at the hotel beachfront, the pair joined their two friends and lounged together on sunbeds, exchanging smooches.

News of Davidson’s hot new romance emerged earlier this week, with sources describing his love interest as a ‘non-celebrity’ and unlike ‘anybody else he’s ever dated’, Page Six reported.
The outlet added that Davidson is ‘very happy’ with the woman, who ‘respects Pete and his desire for privacy’.
The comedy actor and unlikely ladies man has attracted more attention over his personal life in recent years.
His previous high-profile relationships include his whirlwind engagement to Ariana Grande, and his flings with Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, and Kaia Gerber.
In 2021 he famously sparked up a relationship with Kim Kardashian after the two first crossed paths when she was a guest star on Saturday Night Live.
However, after nine months of dating, their split was revealed in August 2022.

Pete then briefly dated supermodel Emily Ratajkowski and started a relationship with his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star, Chase Sui Wonders in 2023.
More recently, Davidson has made headlines over his decision to remove his tattoos, which he once estimated to have over 200.
He has spoken publicly about embarking on the lengthy, expensive, and painful process over four years ago amid his sobriety journey.
The seemingly remarkable results of the grueling process appeared to be visible last month when he unveiled his ink-free body in a new Reformation ad campaign.
Days earlier he was also seen flaunting his bare arms at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics bash in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
But these new beachside snaps suggest the process isn’t quite finished.

Speaking to Late Night host Seth Meyers in February, Davidson admitted that he doesn’t know long the removal process will take but said he hopes to complete the process in under 10 years.
‘No, I didn’t realize it would take — like, when I’m 40, it’ll all be gone, like the chest and the back,’ he said.
Then, Davidson clarified that each tattoo takes multiple visits with several weeks in between for the healing process.
‘It’s at least seven visits,’ Davidson explained. ‘And if it’s black and white, it’s a little easier. But if it’s a color tattoo, it takes forever.’
When Meyers asked if there was a particular piece of body art he was glad to be rid of, the comedian said he wanted to remove ‘all of them.’
‘Well, I made a lot of those decisions when, you know, before rehab. So I got the dumbest tattoos,’ he admitted.
