Earlier this month, Elsie Hewitt announced the news with a sweet carousel of photos, including a video of the couple viewing their baby's sonogram.

The post also featured a cozy shot of Davidson and Hewitt as she cradled her growing bump, along with a SpongeBob SquarePants meme that read, "One of y'all hiding your pregnancy, I can feel it."

"Welp, now everyone knows we had sex," Hewitt joked in the caption of her pregnancy reveal. The news came just four months after Davidson and Hewitt first sparked rumors of a romance.

“I’m so excited for that chapter,” he added, saying that he hoped to “develop and get better, so when that happens it’ll be easier.”
