A Brooklyn Outing Sparks Social Media Buzz
Live from New York, it was another high-profile night out for Pete Davidson. The 32-year-old comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member was spotted in Brooklyn, New York, alongside Sarah Jane Nader, sparking immediate speculation across social media platforms regarding a potential new romance. The outing, which occurred on Sunday, August 2, 2026, was captured in video footage that quickly began circulating online via celebrity gossip outlet DeuxMoi.
In the widely shared footage, Davidson is seen demonstrating some old-school chivalry, opening the passenger-side door of his vehicle for the 23-year-old Nader before walking around to the driver’s side to join her. This brief public interaction was enough to send fans into a frenzy, speculating that Davidson had moved on to another reality television personality. However, the rumors were quickly tempered by those close to the situation. A source with direct knowledge of the matter spoke to E! News shortly after the sighting, clarifying that the pair are ‘just friends’ and that there is no romantic relationship between them.
Who is Sarah Jane Nader?
For many onlookers, Sarah Jane Nader represents a fresh face in the celebrity dating rumor mill. She is best known as the youngest sister of prominent model Brooks Nader and a starring cast member of the Hulu reality television series ‘Love Thy Nader.’
On the show, Sarah Jane has been notably candid about her personal life and journey, opening up to viewers about navigating her queer identity after coming out to her parents two years prior. Her romantic life has previously been documented on the screen, particularly her blossoming relationship with Alexis Williams. Williams serves as the Deputy Press Secretary for the City of New York, having previously worked on Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s campaign. One of the show’s memorable moments featured Sarah Jane’s sisters crashing one of her dates with Williams at Henrietta Hudson, a historic lesbian bar in New York City. While their dates were broadcast, their relationship status was never formally confirmed beyond Sarah Jane’s description of them ‘vibing’ on several occasions.
Co-Parenting Milestones with Elsie Hewitt
The speculation surrounding Davidson’s dating life arrives just days after a major public announcement regarding his family. On July 31, 2026, representatives for Davidson and his former partner, 30-year-old model Elsie Hewitt, released a joint statement to Page Six and People confirming their commitment to co-parenting their infant daughter, Scottie Rose.
‘We are cooperatively co-parenting our daughter whose well-being remains our top priority,’ the former couple stated, ‘and we are fully committed to working together to give her love from both of us.’
Davidson and Hewitt welcomed Scottie Rose in December 2025. The couple, whose relationship first became public during a vacation in March 2025, quietly split in May 2026 after about a year of dating. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, insiders report that Davidson remains heavily involved in his daughter’s life. A source close to the comedian told E! News that Davidson is ‘fully financially supporting the child and Elsie’ and that he has been ‘100 percent present’ in Scottie’s daily life, wanting nothing but the best for Hewitt.
Davidson’s Long-Held Dream of Fatherhood
For Davidson, the transition into fatherhood carries profound emotional weight. The comedian has been exceptionally candid about his lifelong desire to become a father, a goal deeply influenced by the tragic loss of his own father, firefighter Scott Davidson, who died in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks when Pete was only seven years old.
During an August 2025 appearance on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ Davidson shared his perspective: ‘When I was young and my dad passed, I remember my mom used to be like, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” And I used to be like, “A dad.” I always wanted to be a dad because I felt so crappy, and I wanted to make sure that a kid didn’t feel that way or have to go through what I went through.’
When Hewitt became pregnant in 2025, Davidson was overjoyed, comparing the experience to a childhood dream coming true. ‘It was so nice,’ he recalled. ‘Because you know when you’re little, you’re like, “I want to be an astronaut,” or “I want to be” whatever. A lot of that stuff fizzled out, but I felt the exact excitement when I was little.’
Hewitt has also spoken openly about her experience navigating the challenges of parenting a newborn. In an interview with Parents magazine published on June 1, 2026, she expressed surprise at her own resilience. ‘I’m surprised by the fact that no matter how exhausted I am, I’m somehow ready at all times to do whatever this teeny little thing needs me to do,’ Hewitt said, describing the shift as a ‘visceral and primal change’ in her energy levels.
While fans continue to analyze Davidson’s social circles and public outings, the comedian’s primary focus appears to remain anchored in his professional commitments and his active role as a dedicated father.
