Pete Davidson and new flame Elsie Hewitt spotted in NYC after getting hot and heavy during Florida vacation
Pete Davidson and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, were spotted cooling off on a casual outing in New York City after getting hot and heavy in Florida.
The comedian and the model stepped out with several bags in tow while waving down a black SUV in Brooklyn on Saturday, according to photos obtained by Page Six.
Davidson braved the wind in a hoodie, jacket and jeans, while Hewitt bundled up in a gray sweatsuit set, a scarf and boots.
They kept a low profile and hid behind sunglasses while walking through the street.
Davidson, 31, and Hewitt, 29, appeared to have landed in the Big Apple after they were photographed packing on the PDA in Palm Beach, Fla., on March 15.
Per photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other during the beach getaway.
They appeared head over heels while locking lips and tongues in the ocean.
Page Six exclusively revealed that the “Saturday Night Live” alum and the influencer were dating.
An insider told us Hewitt was “different from anybody else he’s ever dated.”
“Although things are new for Pete, he really likes this woman,” our source said. “She respects Pete and his desire for privacy.”
We also learned that Davidson’s family “approve of this relationship and love seeing Pete so happy.”
On Saturday, the duo hard launched their relationship on Instagram with Hewitt sharing a video of the actor in a white bathrobe.
Hewitt has famously been linked to Jason Sudeikis, Ryan Phillippe and Selena Gomez’s fiancé, Benny Blanco.
Davidson, meanwhile, has dated a slew of high-profile people, including Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
The “Suicide Squad” actor, however, recently told W Magazine that he wanted to be known as more than a “f–king loser who just dates people.”

Pilot program aims to build $200K homes in Central Florida to help low-income families buy, not rent
ORLANDO, Fla. – For many Central Florida families, the dream of owning a home feels further out of reach than ever.
With the median home price now topping $400,000, a new pilot program in Orlando is trying to change that by building new homes for about half the cost.
A lot off Quill Avenue in Parramore may not look like much right now, but organizers say it could soon be the site of a new home priced around $200,000 for low-income families.
“We just really wanted an opportunity to bring actual affordable housing to people who have basically been forever renters,” said Satrina Whithead with the GXVE Homes Initiative.
The GXVE Homes Initiative says the goal is to help families earning between $16,000 and $65,000 a year get a chance at homeownership. Whithead said the homes could range from 500 to 1,400 square feet, depending on the lot size and location.
The Orlando Regional Realtor Association reports the median home price in the area is now more than $400,000. Whithead said GXVE hopes to sell homes for about half that.
“There’s nothing wrong with profit, but at the end of the day, I want to help where the need is greatest,” Whithead said.
Organizers say they are already planning to build in Parramore and are working to close on two additional properties. They also say they have properties planned in Sanford and Mims, with a goal of bringing eight homes a year to Central Florida.
“You can pay 80 percent of your salary on rent just to have a place to live. So getting that number back down to around 50 percent is extremely important,” said Mike Harris, vice president of GXVE Homes.
Florida Made Tiny Homes, which is partnering with the organization, said it plans to build concrete homes that exceed safety requirements for the area.
“I don’t think there’s going to be anything available on the market in that price range, much less new construction,” said Dylan Grace, co-founder of Florida Made Tiny Homes.
Program organizers say they expect to start construction in the fall and hope to complete the first home within six to eight months after work begins. For more information please click here.

Ex-Florida juvenile probation officer accused of leaking court info to drug traffickers
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — A former Florida juvenile probation officer is facing more than 100 felony charges after investigators said she leaked confidential court and law enforcement information to people tied to a drug trafficking investigation.
Crystal Gaynell Ann Lawson was booked into the Orange County Jail on Thursday, according to Orange County Corrections records.
Investigators said Lawson improperly accessed the Comprehensive Case Information System, or CCIS, more than 100 times and shared information from active criminal cases with members of a drug trafficking organization.
FOX 35 Orlando reported Lawson was arrested on 113 felony counts of computer crimes for unauthorized access. Investigators said she allegedly accessed the database 106 times between January and May.
Lawson is accused of using the database to search for active criminal cases tied to members of the organization. Authorities said some of the information that was leaked included arrest warrants and documents connected to an active investigation.
Lawson was hired by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice in February 2022. As part of that job, she was given access to the CCIS database. Authorities said she was fired later that year after an arrest, but her database access was not terminated.

Investigators said the leaks resulted in lost evidence, unrecovered assets and at least one person fleeing to avoid arrest before later being taken into custody.
Lawson previously worked for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, where she had access to the court information system as part of her job. Authorities said she was later fired, but her database access was not terminated.
Orange County Corrections records list Lawson’s case status as “presentenced” and show multiple entries for “offense against computer users.”
The records list the arresting agency as the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and show bond amounts of $10,000 on several listed case sequences. The jail record also notes an “ICJIS Affidavit.”
