Pete Davidson and New Girlfriend Elsie Hewitt Are Spotted Hand-in-Hand for Cozy Courtside Date Night in N.Y.C.

• Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt held hands as they attended the New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on April 6.
• Davidson and Hewitt went Instagram official in March after sources confirmed to PEOPLE that they were dating.
• In addition to enjoying multiple date nights together, the couple attended Dave Navarro’s wedding in Scotland on March 29.

Pete Davidson’s new romance is heating up.

The 31-year-old comedian has been linked to model Elsie Hewitt since last month when they were seen packing on the PDA on the beach during a getaway to Palm Beach. On Sunday, April 6, Davidson and Hewitt, 29, were spotted in New York City as they attended the New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.

Davidson and Hewitt walked into the famed arena hand-in-hand and sat courtside as the Knicks took on the Phoenix Suns.

Hewitt shared a video from the date night to her Instagram Stories, as she showed a smiling Davidson sitting beside her and then panned to the court, before zooming in on Knicks superfan Spike Lee who was also in attendance at the game.

A source confirmed to PEOPLE that Davidson and Hewitt were an item in March. Then, just days after photos of them kissing in the ocean during their Florida trip circulated, Hewitt went Instagram official with the comedian as she posted a video of him laughing in a bathrobe as a retro Rugrats episode played on a TV.

The couple also recently traveled to Scotland for Dave Navarro’s wedding, and Hewitt shared a carousel of photos from the trip to Instagram, including a sweet video of them walking where Davidson kissed her forehead.

Prior to Davidson, Hewitt was most recently linked to Jason Sudeikis and she also dated Ryan Phillippe in 2017, who she accused of domestic violence and later sued.

Davidson, meanwhile, broke up with Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline in July after less than a year of dating. Prior to Cline, 27, he was linked to his Bodies Bodies Bodies costar Chase Sui Wonders, from whom he split in August 2023.

The New York City outing comes after Davidson appeared on his friend John Mulaney’s live Netflix show, Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, on March 26, during which his relationship with Hewitt was a topic of conversation.

Comedian Luenell, who was also a guest on the episode, pointed out that Davidson seems like an “average guy” but “you continuously pull all these bad bitches” as she said, “I want to know the mystique.”

“Now, you’ve had Kim K, several other people, you’ve got this little supermodel right now,” she said, referring to Hewitt. “What I think, for the research and for women across America, I think that you should take me out.”

Davidson replied, “If that’s what it takes to stop this, yeah.”

Mulaney tried to change the subject from his friend’s dating life, but Luenell continued. “I just thought I would shoot my shot, you know, because people do want to know what is the mystique. Like, are you super fun? Are you a really good time?”

“I don’t know,” Davidson admitted.

The episode took a turn later as Luenell got a little too close to Davidson, which left him and the entire show’s set feeling “uncomfortable,” a source told PEOPLE. She issued an apology to Davidson in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE as she said she “was tickling Pete’s leg” but “did not mean to make Pete uncomfortable.”

“I sincerely apologize. It was all done in jest,” she said.
