In a heartfelt revelation, Pete Davidson expressed his feelings of guilt regarding his girlfriend’s inability to experience what he considers an “ideal pregnancy” due to his celebrity status. The “Saturday Night Live” alum opened up about the challenges they face under media scrutiny, sharing insight into the couple’s personal journey as they prepare for their first child together. Davidson’s candid remarks highlight the unique pressures that come with fame and how they can affect even the most intimate life events.
Fame and Challenges of Privacy
Pete Davidson feels guilty that his pregnant girlfriend is navigating their big new life chapter under the media spotlight. Last month, the comedian, 31, and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, 29, took to Instagram to reveal their pregnancy by posting a sonogram photo. However, in a recent interview on “The Breakfast Club,” Davidson echoed concerns about the public nature of their experience. “I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of s***,” he stated during the iHeart Radio show. He elaborated, noting that their lives are now subject to public scrutiny: “Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing.”
Desire for a Private Experience
Davidson emphasized that pregnancy should be a sacred and private experience, yet his fame makes that nearly impossible. “She’s a very private person, and she’s the one doing all the work,” he said. “It’s supposed to be a beautiful experience.” Despite the challenges, Davidson remains deeply supportive of Hewitt, acknowledging the sacrifices they both have to make.
Support and Understanding
Despite his guilt regarding the public nature of their pregnancy, Davidson noted that Hewitt doesn’t bear any resentment toward him for the situation. “She’s never made me feel this way or said anything,” he shared. “But I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy.” This acknowledgment speaks volumes about the couple’s dynamic and strengthens their bond as they expect their child.
Announcing Their Joyous News
The couple announced Hewitt’s pregnancy last month with an Instagram post that playfully stated, “welp now everyone knows we had sex.” The carousel included photos from her ultrasound appointment, a sonogram, and candid moments of the couple. According to reports, Hewitt is due in early winter. The romance blossomed publicly in March while they were vacationing in Florida, and they have since shown interest in moving in together. Prior to their relationship, Hewitt had been linked to music producer Benny Blanco, while Davidson’s past relationships include high-profile figures like Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
