Pregnant Model Elsie Hewitt Battles Excruciating Pain, Pleads for Help

On November 15th, 2025, Elsie Hewitt, the 29-year-old model and girlfriend of comedian Pete Davidson, revealed that she has been struggling with severe pain throughout her pregnancy. In an emotional Instagram update, Hewitt described her condition as "absolute agony" that has left her "barely able to walk."

Hewitt, who is expecting her first child with Davidson, has been battling a range of health issues, including endometriosis and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), a connective-tissue disorder. Despite trying various treatments, from acupuncture to steroid injections, Hewitt says nothing has been able to ease her daily torment.

Desperate for relief, Hewitt has pleaded with her one million followers to connect her with others who have experienced similar challenges during pregnancy. "I would really like to speak to someone who has been through pregnancy and birth with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome," she wrote. "Did your pain go away after? Does it get better? Am I gonna die?"

Davidson, 32, has been trying to support Hewitt through this difficult time, providing her with pep talks and reminding her to rest. However, the former Saturday Night Live cast member has also expressed guilt over the lack of privacy surrounding their pregnancy, acknowledging that his fame has thrust Hewitt, a "very private person," into the public eye.

As Hewitt approaches the final stretch of her pregnancy, she admits to feeling a "level of nerves" about the impending birth. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful that she will find a way to manage her pain and have a safe delivery.
