The former Saturday Night Live star, 31, is in a relationship with model Elsie Hewitt, as confirmed by a source to PEOPLE. The couple was spotted enjoying a romantic beach escape over the weekend.
Davidson was captured sharing affectionate moments with Hewitt, 29, in Palm Beach, with the photos initially reported by The Daily Mail. The comedian was seen kissing and holding hands with the model while on the beach.
He even picked her up during a swim in the ocean, and at one point, they were photographed playfully touching their tongues as they shared kisses.

Davidson’s new romantic status follows his breakup with Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline in July, which PEOPLE confirmed he was dating in September 2023. The couple maintained a low profile throughout their 10-month relationship, although Cline, 27, supported him at the afterparty following his SNL hosting appearance in October 2023. A source noted to PEOPLE that they were “very lovey” and “very cute” at the event, though they kept to themselves.
Before Cline, Davidson was associated with actress Chase Sui Wonders, with whom he was in a relationship for less than a year in 2023. Their breakup was confirmed by a source in August 2023.
Hewitt — whose relationship with Davidson was first reported by Page Six — was previously linked to Jason Sudeikis. She has also been connected to Benny Blanco and Ryan Phillippe.

Davidson has recently expressed how he has faced scrutiny regarding his dating life over the years, telling Page Six last month that the attention was “pretty humiliating and upsetting.”
“Everyone is dating everyone, and it’s Hollywood,” he remarked, referring to his peers like Paul Mescal, Timothée Chalamet, and Barry Keoghan. “But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for about five years, and it made my life a living hell.”
He added, “It’s embarrassing because you want people to focus on your work. I was one of the youngest-ever cast members on SNL, and all that got overshadowed by who I was dating.”
Davidson mentioned that he’s experienced “some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women,” and his breakups are generally without drama. “When it’s over, it’s been cool.”

“Nothing unpleasant happened between him and Madelyn. It simply ran its course,” the source explained. “He’s a good guy, and they support him.”
