Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are opening up about their relationship in a charming new way, sharing sweet, handwritten notes about each other in a sponsored Instagram post with Bumble while also offering a candid update on Hewitt’s pregnancy and recent health challenges.
The couple, who first sparked dating rumors in March before announcing they were expecting a child on July 16, used the post to spotlight the small, everyday moments that fuel their connection. The result is a glimpse into a relationship that’s both affectionate and grounded, even as Hewitt navigates a complicated pregnancy with resilience and candor.
Inside Davidson & Hewitt’s Bumble Notes
In the post, Davidson’s note focused on the joy of discovery—and food. The SNL alum and actor wrote that what makes him love Hewitt even more is "how excited she gets to show me food I’ve never had before." It’s a personal detail that fits the couple’s playful, low-key public persona, and it reads like a snapshot of their day-to-day life together.
Hewitt’s note, written in her own hand, brought a heartfelt counterpoint: "You’ve taught me that love is patient and always the thing to lead with." The line underscores the supportive dynamic they’ve shown since going public, especially as they prepare for parenthood.
Davidson closed the exchange with a wink, imagining how he’d try to win her over if they were meeting for the first time today: "If we matched today, my opening line would be: ‘What you doin’ for the next 40 years?’" It’s lighthearted, but it also nods to the long-term commitment the pair has leaned into since revealing their pregnancy.
Pregnancy Update: Hewitt Opens Up About Pain and HEDS
Alongside the cheerful notes, Hewitt—29, a model and photographer—shared a frank update with followers about how difficult her pregnancy has been physically. In an Instagram Stories video posted Friday, she described experiencing severe, constant pain.
"I’m in absolute agony pretty much 24/7," she said. "This morning, it’s really bad." Hewitt explained that she has tried multiple approaches to cope with the pain, but with little relief. "At this point, if you can think of something that there is to do about the pain, I have tried it. I have tried everything, and it’s only getting worse and I cannot walk," she shared.
Her message was direct and unvarnished: "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 added that she was reaching out to connect with others who might understand what she’s experiencing, specifically those who have gone through pregnancy and birth while living with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (HEDS).
HEDS is a connective tissue condition that can involve joint hypermobility and significant pain. Hewitt asked followers for insight and a bit of reassurance: "Did your pain go away afterward? Does it get better? Am I gonna die? I just really want to feel a little bit of hope," she said.
The post drew supportive messages from fans, many of whom praised Hewitt for speaking honestly about pregnancy health and chronic pain. While celebrity pregnancy announcements often focus on glossy reveal photos and curated milestones, Hewitt’s updates highlight the real and sometimes grueling side of the journey.
Past Health Journey And Fertility Concerns
Before sharing her pregnancy news in July, Hewitt spoke candidly about her reproductive health with People, revealing that an endometriosis diagnosis heavily shaped her expectations about conceiving. "I was 100 percent convinced that I was infertile and not going to be able to have kids," she said.
Hewitt explained that undergoing surgery was both about managing symptoms and planning for the future. "A big part of why I opted for the surgery was, first and foremost, my symptoms, but second, to preserve my fertility or try to get to a place where I could sustain the chances of having a family one day." The perspective makes her current pregnancy particularly meaningful, even as she confronts difficult days.
For Davidson, who has transitioned from Saturday Night Live standout to actor and creator across film and TV, the Bumble notes continue a recent trend of the comedian letting fans see a more personal side. The sentiment in the couple’s exchange—patient love, shared discoveries, and a little humor—aligns with the earnestness he’s shown in recent projects and public moments.
Together, the pair’s posts offer a balanced portrait: a couple excited about their future while being transparent about the present. Davidson’s light, affectionate tone contrasts thoughtfully with Hewitt’s openness about pain, and both pieces of the story land with equal sincerity.
As they look ahead to welcoming their child, the couple’s social posts suggest a united front—rooted in humor, patience, and support—through a trying pregnancy. For fans, it’s a rare, unfiltered look at how a high-profile couple navigates love and health in real time, without losing the warmth that makes their connection feel relatable.
Between tender notes and forthright updates, Davidson and Hewitt are sharing more than a highlight reel; they’re offering an honest snapshot of life before baby. And if Davidson’s would-be opening line is any indication, they’re thinking well beyond the next few months.
