After dropping the unexpected baby announcement just last week, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt stepped into the spotlight with big smiles and even bigger energy.
The couple made their first public appearance since sharing the news that they’re expecting their first child—at none other than the star-studded Los Angeles premiere of The Pickup on Sunday night.
Red Carpet Debut as Expecting Parents
Held at the Regal LA Live, the event marked a big moment for Pete and Elsie—not just professionally, but personally too.
With cameras flashing and fellow celebs in attendance, the pair looked relaxed and in sync as they hit the red carpet together.
Elsie, proudly cradling her growing bump, stunned in a sleek black dress that hugged her figure and oozed elegance.
She kept things polished with black heels, soft waves in her hair, and a fresh, glowy makeup look with a nude glossy lip.
Pete, known for his chill style, showed up in a brown tracksuit and sneakers, topping it off with a flashy watch.
The couple shared sweet moments together on the carpet—including a kiss for the cameras—before diving into the night’s fun.
Pregnancy Reveal Came Just Days Before Premiere
The couple’s baby news came earlier this month, and while sources say the pregnancy wasn’t exactly planned, both Pete and Elsie are reportedly over the moon.
What started as a whirlwind romance back in March has quickly turned into something more serious—and joyful.
A source told Us Weekly that the news has actually brought the couple even closer: “They are so excited.
Pete and Elsie have a really playful relationship, and things are going really well.”
Pete Says He’s Ready for Fatherhood
In a recent chat with E! News, Pete finally spoke out about becoming a dad, sharing his excitement and a little bit of vulnerability too.
“I’m very lucky and very, very happy,” he said.
“I can’t wait to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn’t have.”
Pete explained that he’s going into fatherhood with the intention to give his child the kind of upbringing he always dreamed of.
“I assume you just try to give them what you didn’t have, and what you didn’t like—don’t do it.”
He’s already been getting plenty of parenting advice from his friends, including fellow actor Adam Sandler, and he’s said in the past that starting a family has always been a dream of his.
“This Timing Feels Right,” Says Insider
According to those close to the couple, Pete feels like the timing couldn’t be better.
After working on himself in recent years—including getting sober—the comedian is said to be in a healthier, more stable place now.
“He couldn’t have done it a few years ago,” the source noted. “But he’s in a very different place in life now.”
Fun and Flirty Vibes on the Red Carpet
At the premiere, Pete and Elsie were spotted having some lighthearted fun with props that matched the movie’s heist theme.
In one playful shot, Elsie held up fake money as Pete stood behind her near a giant pickup truck.
It was a cheeky nod to The Pickup, which sees Pete play a character named Travis.
The movie follows two mismatched armored truck drivers who find themselves in a dangerous chase after what was supposed to be a simple cash pickup.
The film—which stars Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer, Eva Longoria, and Andrew Dice Clay—is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 6.
Keke Palmer and Eddie Murphy Also Turned Heads
Pete and Elsie weren’t the only stars shining that evening.
Keke Palmer wowed in a glamorous one-shoulder grey gown with delicate beading and semi-sheer fabric.
She completed the look with silver earrings and a soft curl hairstyle pulled away from her face.
Eddie Murphy kept things sharp in a double-breasted black suit and shades, arriving with wife Paige Butcher, who wore a plunging black dress that fit the Hollywood glam vibe perfectly.
At one point, Pete was seen chatting with both Keke and Eddie, and the trio paused to snap a photo together—capturing a moment of comedic, dramatic, and musical talent all in one frame.
A Love Story Moving Fast—and Going Strong
Though they’ve only been dating since March 2025, Pete and Elsie seem to be taking everything in stride.
Their relationship has mostly stayed low-key until now, but with a baby on the way and a major film release, it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing more of them soon.
The couple is expecting their little one this winter—and judging by their beaming faces, they’re more than ready for the next chapter.
