Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt's Palm Beach Getaway

Pete Davidson enjoyed a romantic weekend in Palm Beach on March 15-16, 2025 with his new girlfriend Elsie Hewitt. In exclusive photos from the Daily Mail, the couple were spotted at a luxury beachfront hotel where they enjoyed swimming, sunbathing and a passionate makeout session on Saturday.

Davidson wore black swim trunks that showed off his partially removed tattoos, while Hewitt looked stunning in a multi-colored bikini. Hewitt's viral swimsuit photo—which showed her pairing the look with sunglasses, hoop earrings and a sleek bun—created a buzz among fans and the media. The photo has now become a new highlight of Davidson's high-profile dating history.

Who is Elsie Hewitt? From Benny Blanco to Pete Davidson

Elsie Hewitt, 29, is no “non-celebrity” as first rumored when Page Six broke the news of Davidson’s new romance on March 17. A British-born model and actress, Hewitt has more than 1 million Instagram followers and has also made a name for herself in Hollywood.

• TV shows: Dave (also starring Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber) and Industry

• Modeling: Has modeled for Playboy

• Foodie Side: She has her own "Elsie Eats" Instagram foodie page

Her romantic past has also been quite star-studded—she was with music producer Benny Blanco (who is now engaged to Selena Gomez) from 2019-2020. She has also been linked to Jason Sudeikis and Ryan Phillippe.

According to sources, Davidson is "very happy" with Hewitt, who respects his privacy. This is a bit of a departure from Davidson's first A-list relationship, but Hewitt's huge social media presence and industry connections make her a proper celebrity. (On March 19, Barstool Sports also tweeted: "Rocket ship former Playboy model turned actress")

Pete's new chapter after breakup with Madeline Klein

Davidson's Palm Beach romance comes 8 months after his breakup with Madelyn Cline. According to the Daily Mail, their breakup was confirmed on July 9, 2024.

• Davidson and Kline were together for roughly a year, and went public with their relationship at an SNL afterparty in October 2023.

• According to sources, their breakup was "amicable"—there was no bad blood.

• Cline was supporting Davidson at his comedy gigs until January 2024, but she has stayed out of the romantic spotlight since then.

But Davidson and Hewitt's PDA proves Pete is back to public romance. His dating history—Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski—has always been the center of tabloid gossip. In a February 2025 Page Six interview, Pete even admitted that the scrutiny is "humiliating."

But according to insiders, Davidson's family loves Hewitt:

"His mom and sister are happy that Pete seems so happy."

Elsie Hewitt's viral swimsuit photo takes over social media

• Her attractive beach style and fit figure are praised by fans and the media.

• Hewitt's respect for privacy could make the relationship more stable.

• But the public PDA shows that this romance is not going to remain a secret.

• As of today, March 20, no new sightings have been made, leaving fans and media speculating on the future of the new couple.
