Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt Started With Sweatpants and Four Hours of Talking
Their first date barely needed a television. Now, between parenthood and drive-through stops, their story offers a more interesting picture than opposites attracting.
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt planned to watch The Sopranos on their first date. They arrived in sweatpants and oversized hoodies, put the show on for about five minutes, then spent four hours talking instead. Neither had been looking for a relationship when mutual friends encouraged them to meet in early 2025, they told Elite Daily. [1]
Their friends’ pitch was that they were essentially versions of each other. But the detail that makes the date appealing is less about being a perfect match than about not having to audition. Davidson said they were both tired of trying to impress people. The evening became memorable without either of them upgrading the plan. [1]
The Sonic trip came later. By their January 2026 interview, they were new parents: their daughter, Scottie, had arrived on December 12. Trying to get out of the house occasionally, they went to an escape room about 20 minutes away. On the way home, Davidson spotted a Sonic and got excited. They ordered an assortment of food, he made Hewitt laugh, and she decided to record him. [1]
Hewitt described the resulting video as messy; Davidson recalled their amusement at how thrilling a drive-through had become. That enthusiasm eventually earned them a paid partnership with the chain, which was also the context for the interview. Still, the sequence matters: this wasn’t their first date, and the planned activity wasn’t fast food. The stop became its own small event. [1]
The pickle delivery belongs in this story, too
There is another food story, from Hewitt’s pregnancy, that adds something to the picture. She told EndoTV that she had mentioned craving pickles to Davidson. He subsequently arrived with what she described as about 50 jars, in every variety. [2]
It was a light moment in a much heavier interview. Hewitt described years of painful periods, repeated misdiagnoses and learning to minimize what she felt. When the pain became unbearable, she researched specialists, found one who took it seriously and had surgery in late 2024. She wanted to discuss endometriosis publicly because other people were still going through what she had endured. [2]
That account gives Hewitt more dimension than the cheerful person filming a funny boyfriend. She spoke about taking pride in being physically and mentally strong, and about how difficult it could feel to acknowledge illness without hearing it as an admission of incapacity. Her openness included something uncomfortable, not just something entertaining. [2]

Similar taste, different ways of connecting
We compared Davidson’s INFP and Enneagram 7w6 profile with Hewitt’s ENFP and 2w3 profile using Figure Us Out. The worthwhile distinction isn’t that one is quiet and the other is outgoing. It is that two people can share an appetite for spontaneous, personal conversation while needing different amounts of space inside it.
For Davidson, the INFP lens emphasizes wanting an experience to feel personally right rather than impressive from the outside. It also makes room for someone who enjoys people but recovers through quieter time, and who may want to know what he thinks before saying it. A four-hour conversation doesn’t contradict that. Introversion is not a limit on how much someone can talk when the company feels easy. [1] [3]
His Enneagram Seven side adds a pull toward possibility, enjoyment and finding something to look forward to. The Six wing adds a wish for dependable company and reassurance. Together, that profile needn’t describe someone chasing ever-larger adventures. It can describe wanting a little fun with someone familiar. His excitement over the unplanned Sonic stop makes that version easier to picture, though the anecdote cannot settle his type. [1] [3]
Hewitt’s ENFP lens shares the interest in possibilities and room to change course, but puts more of the thinking into the exchange itself. Conversation can be how an idea becomes clear, not merely how a finished idea gets delivered. Her decision to capture their funny stop is compatible with that expressive streak: something enjoyable happens, and she wants to share it. [1]
The Two side of her profile brings attention to other people’s needs and a wish to be useful and connected. The Three wing adds concern with being capable and making that effort count. Hewitt’s wish to spare others the confusion she experienced gives the helping impulse a concrete context. Her account of struggling to acknowledge her own illness also raises a useful question for this profile: can someone who values being strong and helpful make equal room for needing help? That is a question the lens opens, not an explanation for her medical history. [2]
Four hours of talking doesn’t mean talking the same way
The comparison’s most useful strength is complementary pacing. In these profiles, Hewitt is more likely to discover a thought by talking, while Davidson is more likely to assemble it privately first. At their best, those tendencies can give a conversation both momentum and room: one person opens something up, the other has time to take it in and add something.
That only works if the roles remain flexible. Being quieter doesn’t automatically make someone a good listener, and being expressive doesn’t mean someone is taking over. The practical distinction is between silence that leaves room for an answer and silence that feels like an invitation to keep explaining. A reflective partner can make it clear that an answer is coming; a talk-it-through partner can let that pause stand. Neither needs to become the permanent audience.
Their first-date account doesn’t reveal who spoke more, who paused or how they handle difficult conversations. What it does establish is that they both wanted to keep talking long after the television had become irrelevant. The personality comparison makes that more interesting, not less: ease doesn’t require identical conversational habits. [1]

Parenthood has made their nights out rarer, they said, but their latest date story still has something in common with the first. They set out to do one thing, and the part they remembered was what happened around it. First, The Sopranos lost out to four hours of conversation. Later, an escape-room trip acquired corndogs, milkshakes and a video Hewitt couldn’t resist making because Davidson was making her laugh. [1]
