Published | Updated

Pete Davidson must be a happy guy, because his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt announced earlier this week they are planning on becoming parents!

The model made the big news known via an Instagram post, where she joked that "everyone knows we had sex" -- ya gotta figure that a comedian would end up with someone who had a good sense of humor.

We're going to take a look at the background of the actor's partner and see how they're feeling about welcoming a child in the future.

Elsie's Worked As A Model And Actress

Hewitt's big break came in 2017, when she appeared as a Playmate in a 2017 issue of Playboy.

She's since gone on to appear in campaigns for various brands, and she was notably featured in Guess' 2018 spring summer swim/lingerie campaign.

The model eventually transitioned into acting, and her longest-running role was as Victoria in the Facebook Watch series "Turnt," which ran for a single season in 2018.

She appeared in the star-studded music video for Benny Blanco and Juice WRLD's track "Graduation," which featured performers like Hailee Steinfeld and Nat Wolff.

Elsie And Pete Both Have Colorful Love Lives

It was revealed that Hewitt and Davidson were in a relationship in March of 2025 -- although they'd each been with plenty of big names before they started dating.

Before she met the comedian, the model was formerly linked to dudes like Jason Sudeikis and Ryan Phillippe, as well as Blanco.

Davidson, on the other hand, has been with people like Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Emily Ratajkowski ... the list goes on and on.

The model and the actor eventually started dating, and they went Instagram official with their romance shortly after it was revealed to the public.

The couple made their red carpet debut in May, although they were already living together by that point -- how's that for moving fast?!

She's Ready To Start A Family With The Actor

Hewitt and Davidson made the news about their plans to start a family known in a big way, and they've got a bit of time to prepare for the arrival of their kid, as sources told us that their child is set to arrive sometime this winter.

Another source recently spoke to Us Weekly and claimed that the comedian was "excited about this next chapter" in his life.

The thing is, Davidson had been open about his plans to become a father in the past, and he spoke about his desire for parenthood during an episode of "Hart To Heart" where he quipped via People that his aspirations were "super corny."

He went on to express that he was trying to "develop" as a person in anticipation of becoming a father, and added that he felt as if parenthood "would be so fun."

How Todd Kraines Went From A Joke On 'KUWTK' To Planning A Family

Published | Updated

Joy Corrigan's fans were shocked when we revealed she was pregnant -- and just about 13 weeks along -- in July of 2025.

And it turns out that the former Playboy Playmate's going to be sharing her soon-to-arrive child with none other than her boyfriend, Todd Kraines.

We're going to check out how Corrigan's partner made a name for himself in Hollywood and see how he feels about the prospect of starting a family.

Todd's A Realtor Based Out Of Beverly Hills

The father of Corrigan's future child was born and raised in the Beverly Hills area, according to his LinkedIn page.

Kraines has worked in the luxury real estate market for the majority of his career, and he's been associated with several firms over the years.

He's claimed that he has an extensive background in the marketing and sales field, and he's also worked as an estate director.

Kraines' page features a claim stating that his sales surpassed $100 million during his time as an agent, although many of his transactions were off-market.

Scott Disick Used His Name During A Prank Call

Kraines' public profile received a bit of a boost when his name was used for a prank call that Scott Disick made to Kris Jenner during an episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."

The reality television personality launched the real estate agent's name into the zeitgeist when he got on the line with the matriarch of the Kardashian clan and introduced himself with the now-iconic line "Auntie Kris! It’s me, Todd Kraines!"

Disick went on to occasionally pester Jenner with the line over a series of calls that were made during the length of the show's run.

Jenner's daughter Kylie made the quote relevant all over again in 2018, when she released a lip kit through her Kylie Cosmetics line named Todd Kraines -- on her mother's birthday.

Kraines And Corrigan Have Big Plans For The Future

Kraines and Corrigan started dating in early 2025, and they went Instagram official with their relationship that April.

The pair haven't been shy about showing their affection for one another, and the real estate agent described the model as "my match" in a post that was shared on his account that same month.

The two are also moving pretty quickly with their relationship -- Corrigan told us that they're planning on tying the knot sometime in the near future.

The only thing is, there wasn't any indication about the baby's gender ... guess we'll have to wait and see!

How Azzi Fudd Found Love With A Former Teammate

Published | Updated

Paige Bueckers made plenty of headlines for her skills on the court as a member of the Dallas Wings ... but now she's getting attention for her love life!

The professional basketball player hard-launched her relationship with college basketball star Azzi Fudd during an interview with "WAG Talk" that went down during a 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star event.

We're going to take a look at the background of the pro athlete's significant other and see just how their relationship blossomed off the court.

Azzi Comes From An Athletic Background

It turns out Fudd comes from an athletic background, as her mother was drafted by the Sacramento Monarchs in 2001, while her father played basketball for American University, according to Bleacher Report.

The athlete's parents even tied the knot in a wedding ceremony held on a basketball court, during which the guests were asked to wear athletic shoes -- how's that for foreshadowing?

Fudd was later named the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year in 2019 for her prowess on the court.

The athlete was one of the first girls to attend Stephen Curry's SC30 Select Camp, where she was recognized for her ability to make three-point shots, according to ESPN.

Her College Basketball Career Had Ups And Downs

Azzi signed on to play for the University of Connecticut's Huskies, and she made a name for herself as a formidable shooting guard in her freshman and sophomore seasons, despite working through various injuries.

However, her junior season was cut short when she tore her ACL and meniscus and had to take time off to deal with her injuries.

Fudd came back strong during the Huskies' 2024-2025 season, which saw the team win the 2025 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament -- and she was named the team's Most Outstanding Player.

Although she would have likely been a top prospect for the WNBA, she chose to return to UConn for its 2025-2026 season, which she said would allow her to "work on everything I need to work on," according to ESPN.

Fudd And Bueckers Knew Each Other For Years Before They Started Dating

Fudd and Bueckers have had plenty of time to get to know each other over the years -- they were teammates at UConn for several years.

Speculation about the state of their relationship began to swirl in mid-2025, and they were spotted while holding hands in June, according to Page Six.

On top of that, Bueckers shared an image of Fudd at the ESPYs on her Instagram Story in July with three sweating-face emojis in a not-so-subtle move, according to Parade.

The pair's fans didn't have to wait long after that for an official confirmation ... as Bueckers specifically stated that Fudd was her girlfriend at the All-Star Event.

How Financier Oliver Haarmann Ended Up On A Yacht With Reese Witherspoon

Published | Updated

Reese Witherspoon's definitely making the most of her summer, as she was spotted while soaking up the sun in Saint-Tropez in July ... with a date to boot!

Turns out, the "Legally Blonde" star's dude, Oliver Haarmann, has been in her life since last year -- and he's got a cool little past of his own.

We're going to check out how the actress' boyfriend made a name for himself ... and what led up to him joining her during her yacht trip in France.

Oliver's A Financier And Entrepreneur

Haarmann, who's a native of Germany, attended and graduated both Brown University and Harvard University -- and he earned a master's in business administration from Harvard, according to his LinkedIn.

The businessman went on to become one of Searchlight Capital Partners' founding partners in 2010, following an 11-year stay as a partner of global investment firm KKR.

Haarmann gave a bit of insight into Searchlight's practices during a 2021 episode of the "LSE Focal Point Podcast" ... where he claimed the firm managed "close to 10 billion dollars, most of it in private equity."

The financier's got plenty of other interests, too, and he currently holds a minority stake in the New York Islanders hockey team, according to the New York Post.

Oliver Was Formerly Married -- And Runs A Charity With His Ex-Wife

Haarmann's got a past love life of his own, as he was formerly married to Mala Gaonkar, who also earned an MBA from Harvard University.

The businessman's former spouse is a financier in her own right, as she was a founding partner of investment firm Lone Pine Capital before she founded another firm called SurgoCap Partners in 2022.

Haarmann and Gaonkar welcomed two children before they went their separate ways, and she's since been linked to former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne.

The thing is, the financiers are still involved with their charity organization -- the Surgo Foundation -- which counts writer Malcolm Gladwell as one of its trustees.

He Started Dating Witherspoon Last Year

Haarmann and Witherspoon were first linked in July of 2024, when they were spotted leaving a restaurant in New York City.

A source told People at the time Reese was "taking things slow when it comes to dating" and that, while she was happy to inch her way back into the dating scene, her children are "her biggest priorities."

The source also said the actress and the financier were just "friends" and that she didn't want her dating life to "be a big focus."

Well, that all seemed to change after a year, as we spotted them packing on some serious PDA during their trip to the French Riviera ... and it looks like Witherspoon's found the right guy!

How Andy Byron Was Caught Embracing A Coworker At A Coldplay Show

Published | Updated

Andy Byron became a familiar name to more than just the tech industry Thursday, after he was caught embracing Kristin Cabot on camera during a Coldplay concert in Boston Wednesday night.

And the story got deeper, as the tech figure wiped his social media presence the day after videos featuring his quick exit from the frame went viral.

We're going to take a look at Byron's background ... and check out what exactly happened at the band's concert.

Byron's An Executive In The Technology Industry

Byron serves as the CEO of Astronomer, a data operations platform that helps businesses streamline their data workflows.

The company achieved what's described as "unicorn" status ... meaning it received a valuation of over $1 billion, in 2022, according to Men's Journal.

Byron's LinkedIn page -- which has since been either deleted or set to private -- listed his places of employment as Fuze, Cybereason and BMC Software.

Prior to starting at Astronomer, where Cabot served as its Chief People Officer, he had most recently worked at a company called Lacework, located in Mountain View, California.

Byron Spoke Highly Of Kristin Cabot When She Joined Astronomer

Byron was apparently excited about Cabot's hiring, as he spoke highly of her in a press release announcing she'd joined Astronomer, which was shared on the company's official website in November 2024.

He singled out his coworker's "exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management" as her two of her strong points, and described her as "a proven leader."

Cabot also issued a statement of her own at the time, and expressed she wanted to focus on "people strategy versus traditional human resources."

She added she'd been "energized in my conversations with Andy" while signing on to the company.

Byron And Cabot Were Caught In Front Of Thousands Of People

After the two were caught, Byron quickly ducked out of the camera's sight ... while Cabot covered her face and turned around, keeping her back to the cam.

The pair's reaction was quickly noticed by Chris Martin, who immediately joked the two were either "having an affair or they’re just very shy."

The "Viva La Vida" singer added "I hope we didn’t do something bad" in an apparent reference to the pair's quick shyness in front of the camera.

Byron's Wife Dropped Off Facebook

Although the tech CEO appeared to have been caught off guard by his appearance on camera, his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, apparently was even more surprised, according to Newsweek.

Following the publicization of her husband's alleged behavior, her Facebook account was flooded with messages of support, as well as speculation regarding the state of her marriage.

Byron's wife, whose Facebook page reportedly featured photos featuring the couple's children, dropped his last name from her profile on Thursday.

The tech CEO's wife ultimately decided to deactivate her Facebook account entirely.
