Kiefer Sutherland Cancels U.S. Leg Of Tour After Arrest Incident
Kiefer Sutherland has canceled the U.S. leg of his ongoing tour due to low ticket sales, while continuing to perform shows in Europe and the U.K.
The actor turned musician said refunds will be issued and hinted at returning to the U.S. in the future.
The decision comes amid recent legal scrutiny tied to an alleged incident between Kiefer Sutherland and a rideshare driver earlier this year, along with renewed attention around his past legal history.
Kiefer Sutherland Cancels U.S. Tour Dates Over Low Ticket Sales

In a post shared on Instagram, the 59-year-old actor and musician said he was “disappointed” by the decision but felt continuing the shows in America wouldn’t be fair to fans or venues if attendance was low.
He added that anyone who had already purchased tickets would be refunded through their original point of sale, and expressed hope to return for future U.S. dates under better circumstances.
The cancellation affects several planned stops across major cities, including Los Angeles, Boston, and Phoenix. However, his final scheduled performance in Las Vegas is still currently listed as going ahead, along with a later appearance at a music festival in Canada.
Sutherland is still completing the European and U.K. legs of his “Love Will Bring You Home” tour, which supports his upcoming fourth studio album, “Grey,” set for release later this month.
The Actor Thanked His European Fans As The Tour Continues

Sutherland recently thanked European audiences online, saying the shows had been a positive experience as the tour continues.
The tour marks his first full run since 2024, as he has been steadily building his music career alongside his acting career.
His recent work has focused more on personal themes, with him describing the new album as a more introspective project shaped by his experiences over the past couple of years.
“In many ways, these songs mark a growth for me personally, as I wrote less about observations and more about personal feelings that I have been navigating in my own life,” he shared, per the Daily Mail.
Kiefer Sutherland Has Gotten Into Legal Troubles Over The Years

Sutherland’s recent tour announcement comes after a period of legal scrutiny earlier in the year, due to an incident involving a rideshare driver in Los Angeles.
Authorities reviewed the case, with further investigation requested before any final decisions on charges.
Sutherland was initially taken into custody in connection with allegations tied to the encounter and released on bail.
Best known for his role as Jack Bauer in “24,” the actor has faced multiple legal issues over several decades, including driving-related incidents and prior arrests.
His history includes incidents dating back to the late 1980s and 1990s, as well as later DUI-related cases in the 2000s that resulted in jail time, probation, and community service requirements.
The Actor Opened Up About Stigma Around His Music Career

Despite past controversies, Sutherland has remained active across both film and music.
Alongside his touring schedule, he continues to work on screen projects, with recent and upcoming films still in development, including a thriller and another production currently in post-production.
He previously reflected on his decision to pursue a music career, admitting he was initially hesitant about stepping into the industry as an established actor.
In an interview with People Magazine, the actor acknowledged the common skepticism toward actors who transition into music, saying he once shared that same reaction himself.
“I had no intention of making an album. I hear about an actor wanting to do music, and my eyes roll back too,” Sutherland said, adding that he was fully aware of the stigma, which contributed to his reluctance for years.
Kiefer Sutherland On His Unexpected Path Into Music And First Album Journey

In his chat with the publication, Sutherland explained that music had actually been part of his life since his teenage years, even though he never initially planned to turn it into a professional path.
According to the actor, his first album, “Down in a Hole,” came together more organically than expected after working with collaborators in the studio.
Sutherland recalled how a recording session with a collaborator named Jude helped shift his perspective.
After laying down a couple of songs early in the process, he was encouraged to consider turning the material into a full album.
“At the end, he said, ‘I really like your songs, and they are clearly yours. You should do them. You should make a record,’” Sutherland shared.
He initially dismissed the idea, joking that it would never happen, but said that after spending more time in the studio, the idea began to feel more realistic and eventually led to the creation of the record.

Denzel Washington’s Forgotten Sci-Fi Western Is Taking Over the World on Streaming
Released in 2004, Denzel Washington joined forces with a young Dakota Fanning on one of his best movies of this century. Two years after winning his second Academy Award for Training Day, Washington starred in the crime thriller Man on Fire, based on the 1980 novel by A.J. Quinnell, which has recently been turned into a global hit Netflix series. Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, the seven-episode series was an instant hit on the streaming charts, earning an impressive 11 million views in just four days after its premiere.
The success of the series has no doubt turned many back to Washington’s 2004 adaptation and, in turn, many more action-packed entries into his filmography. One such film, which is full of brutal, hand-to-hand combat, is the post-apocalyptic Western thriller, The Book of Eli. Released in 2010, the movie stars Washington alongside Harry Potter favorite Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis, in a script penned by Gary Whitta, who is best known for his work on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Albert and Allen Hughes, better known as The Hughes Brothers, directed the film on a reported $80 million budget.
The Book of Eli fell short of doubling its reported budget, with a global box office haul of $158 million, split between a $94 million domestic haul and a further $64 million from overseas markets. The movie only played in over 2,000 U.S. theaters for four weeks, opening in second place in the domestic box office charts and dropping in revenue by 52% in its second week. Unfortunately for The Book of Eli, it was going head-to-head with the near-$3 billion hit Avatar. At the time of writing, 16 years later, The Book of Eli is one of the ten most-streamed movies on AMC+ in the U.S.
Critics Weren’t Fond of ‘The Book of Eli’
Although the movie is proving popular 16 years on, there was little praise being thrown its way by critics in 2010. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film earned a disappointing 45% rating, with critics frustrated by an uneven plot and a script that felt underdeveloped. “This picture is a big waste of time,” one called it, while another declared it a “hot mess,” adding, “the filmmakers just tried to get too deep with something that was not fully developed.”
The Book of Eli is streaming now on AMC+. Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.

Why Tommy Fury Skipped 16-Year-Old Niece’s Wedding
Love Island U.K. star Tommy Fury was seemingly absent when his 16-year-old niece, Venezuela Fury, married her fiancé, Noah Price.
Tommy’s partner Molly-Mae Hague — who is pregnant with Baby No.2 — was present and their daughter, Bambi, 3, served as flower girl for Venezuela and Noah’s special day on the Isle Man on Saturday, May 16. However, Tommy was nowhere to be seen in various family photos. (Venezuela’s parents are Tommy’s half-brother, boxing legend Tyson Fury, and Paris Fury.)
There has been speculation that Tommy, 27, missed the family wedding because he is in intense fight training for his boxing match against Eddie Hall at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday, June 13. Tommy’s most recent Instagram post on Sunday, May 9, showcased his training routine, including hitting the speed bag, performing push-ups and pumping iron.
“Ready to GO. 🕺🕺🥊🥊 5 weeks out,” he wrote alongside the training photos.
Us Weekly has reached out to Tommy’s spokesperson for comment.
Tommy’s fight against Hall, 38, is set to take place one day after Hague’s projected due date on June 12. In a recent vlog, Hague assured fans she wasn’t upset over Tommy’s fight being scheduled so close to her due date.
“A lot of questions about, ‘How do you feel about Tommy’s fight,’ and obviously the date of it,” she told viewers in April. “Obviously I knew that you guys were going to be concerned about that and have questions about that, but fear not.”
The Love Island U.K. star went on, “Fear not fair maiden because we’re actually feeling really, really good about it and have a really good plan in place.”
Hague insisted that she was “not worried and I’m actually really, really happy” that Tommy got a fight on the calendar. (Tommy last stepped into the ring on May 9, 2025, when he defeated Kenan Hanjalic by unanimous decision in Budapest, Hungary.)

“Just having a date for something and having a focus and us having something to look forward to in the fight, it’s actually a really, really, really positive thing and he will be here when I get home. He will be able to support me,” she noted.
Meanwhile, Hague documented some special moments for daughter Bambi at Venezuela and Noah’s wedding on Saturday, including showing off the six-tiered, blue wedding cake decorated with blue-and-yellow roses.
Venezuela wore a strapless, lace mermaid gown from designer Ava Rose Hamilton for the ceremony while Bambi was dressed in a blue princess gown to perform her flower duties. Hague wore a black lace jumpsuit.
Venezuela previously confirmed that her now-husband proposed at her 16th birthday party in September 2025.
“Congratulations to @venezuelafuryofficial and @7noahprice on getting engaged,” her mom, Paris, announced via Instagram on September 27, 2025. “Both only young but when you know you know! Still in shock, but very happy for you both.”

Forget ‘School of Rock,’ This Coming-of-Age Music Favorite Is the Perfect Free Streaming Watch
The best coming-of-age movies are about getting out, or about finding the thing that makes you feel everything, making life easier when the going gets tough. This movie is a great example of both, plus it’s got guitars, eyeliner, homemade music videos, school bullies and the massively wholesome belief that all your problems might just go away if only you could form a band. Which means your pain will be accompanied by a banging soundtrack.
Sing Street is streaming for free this month on Fawesome. Written and directed by John Carney, the film is set in 1980s Dublin and follows Conor, a teenager who starts a band to impress a mysterious girl named Raphina. We’ve all been there, surely. What begins as a romantic stunt ends up actually working and becoming more meaningful, giving Conor a creative outlet as his family life falls apart, and his future starts to feel uncertain.
The cast includes Ferdia Walsh-Peelo (Vikings, CODA) as Conor, Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Politician) as Raphina, Jack Reynor (Midsommar, The Peripheral) as Brendan, Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders) as Robert, Maria Doyle Kennedy (Orphan Black, Outlander) as Penny, Mark McKenna (Wayne, One of Us Is Lying) as Eamon, Ben Carolan as Darren, and Ian Kenny (Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Journey) as Barry.
Was ‘Sing Street’ a Success?
Oh yes, this is one of the most beloved movies of the 2010s. It was a major critical success and a solid financial success, especially considering it was a small indie musical. Critically, it was adored. It holds a 95% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus calling it “a feel-good musical with huge heart and irresistible optimism,” and the reviews praising the cast’s performances and the songs. It was also nominated for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes. Financially, it did well too. The movie reportedly cost around $4 million to make and grossed about $13.6 million worldwide.
Boynton, while speaking to Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, gushed about the experience of working on the film, saying that the work done by Carney behind the scenes made it one of her best experiences. “[Writer-director John Carney] had created these characters so vividly, and it was semi-autobiographical,” she said. “I think I just turned up willing to be directed, not in a passive way, but in a way that really gave him all the authority and he really pushed back on that and gave all of us complete ownership of our characters, and I had never experienced it to that extent before“

Josh Duhamel and Wife Audra Mari Welcome 2nd Baby Together
Josh Duhamel and his wife, Audra Mari, are celebrating the birth of their new baby girl.
“Rocca de Leon Duhamel our baby girl is here,” the couple announced via a joint Instagram post on Saturday, May 16.
They shared a carousel of baby Rocca’s early milestones, including introducing her to big brother Shepherd. One adorable shot showcased Duhamel, 53, near tears as he cradled his newborn daughter.
Duhamel and Mari’s daughter joins their son, Shepherd, who arrived in January 2024. The actor is also the father of son Axl, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Fergie in August 2013.
Mari announced via Instagram in March that she was pregnant with the couple’s second baby.
“Adding a little girl to our story. We can’t wait to meet you,” she captioned black-and-white maternity photos that highlighted her growing baby bump.
In the comments section, Duhamel responded, “Can’t wait to meet that little cutie 💕 Love you momma.”
Fergie — who was married to Duhamel from 2009 to 2019 — also sent her well-wishes, replying, “Welcome the cuteness! 💖💖.”
Duhamel and Mari confirmed their engagement in January 2022 after two years of dating. That September, the pair tied the knot.
Prior to Shepherd’s birth, Duhamel expressed his excitement about becoming a father again while hinting at his plans to have more kids with Mari.
“I get to do this again and hopefully again after that,” he said on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show in September 2023. “Axl’s going to be a great older brother. Audra’s going to be a great mother, [I’m] very blessed. … I’m jumping back in at this ripe old age. I’m doing it. To me, that’s what it’s about. I’m meant to be a dad.”
In March 2025, Duhamel opened up about parenting a toddler in his 50s. He exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that he was “trying to stay as young and youthful as I can,” not only so he could “work as long as possible” but also “to stay as healthy and useful to chase my 1-year-old.”
Later that year, Duhamel reflected on his experience as a father amid his role as a less-than-stellar dad in the film London Calling.
“It was fun to look at some of the things that I could even do better as a dad,” he exclusively told Us in September 2025. “I work a lot, and I often have a lot of guilt about not being there as often as I could be. So I try to maybe overcompensate or do things to be there often.”
He continued, “But at the same time, you want your kid to look and see [that] this is what you have to do to provide for your family. So on the other hand, you can’t be there all the time because you’ve got to be setting an example. But on the other hand, you might be missing out on life moments that you’d [be there for] if you were a 9 to 5 dad who went to work every day and came home. So it’s a constant struggle in this business. It’s not easy.”
Duhamel went on to rave over his coparenting dynamic with Mari and Fergie, noting, “We all have to work together to make sure that this thing works.”

Staten Island Condo Owner Praises Pete Davidson as a Neighbor
The president of a Staten Island condo building has provided some rare insight into who Pete Davidson is as a neighbor.
“He is a perfect neighbor. He was polite, he was nice to everyone,” Christopher Campbell, building president of the Accolade Condominium at 90 Bay Street Landing, where Davidson lived for years, wrote in a reported “thank you” letter of sorts, according to a Saturday, May 16, report from local media outlet silive.com.
“He knows that people want to talk to him, so he broke the ice,” Campbell continued in the reported letter. “If he’s on the elevator and he doesn’t know the person, he would introduce himself, and people just thought of him as their neighbor.”
Campbell reportedly added, “When he was dating [Kim Kardashian], she would come here… and he thought of his neighbors, and he didn’t want to have an entourage blocking the front entrance, so he would take the side door to be police. He used to bring his celebrity friends, so you never know who you’re going to meet in the building. Miley Cyrus has been here, Kid Cudi, Machine Gun Kelly.”
The building president also reportedly thanked the Saturday Night Live alum for donating an air hockey table to the residents of his former home.

“On behalf of everyone at The Accolade Condominium, we want to extend our heartfelt best wishes as you begin your next chapter,” the reported thank you letter read in part. “It has truly been a pleasure having you as part of our community. You were the perfect neighbor, always friendly, approachable, and respectful to everyone around you. Your presence brought a special energy to our building, and we know many residents will fondly remember their interactions with you.”
The letter reportedly concluded, “We are especially grateful for your generous donation of the air hockey table to the community room. It has already brought so much enjoyment to residents of all ages and will continue to be a lasting reminder of your kindness and thoughtfulness.”
Insight of Davidson’s neighborly tendencies comes just hours after Us Weekly broke the news that the comedian and his partner, Elsie Hewitt, have called it quits five months after welcoming their first baby together, daughter Scottie Rose. (Scottie is named after Davidson’s father, a former firefighter who died while responding to the September 11, 2011, terrorist attacks.)
“They are still sorting things out as it pertains to their split,” a source close to the couple exclusively told Us on Saturday. “They tried to make it work but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well. They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”
The SNL alum and model were first romantically linked in March 2025, going on to welcome their daughter in December of that same year.
“The best thing I’ve been telling people is [that Scottie is] the biggest gift,” Davidson exclusively told Us one month after his daughter’s birth. “Nothing else matters as much or intensely, like career, activities, hanging out with people [or] what do people think of me, that sort of s***. I still want to do cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long do I have to stay away?’ Or, ‘Is this worth being away?’”

Jennifer Lopez Dragged For ‘Diva’ Behavior During NYC Outing
Jennifer Lopez is facing backlash online after a recent hotel exit left some social media users accusing the superstar of staging a paparazzi moment. The singer and actress was spotted outside a Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on Wednesday, where cameras captured what many believed was a carefully timed entrance for photographers waiting outside.

Video circulating online showed Lopez lingering near the hotel entrance as several guests exited the building before she eventually made her way outside. Once the lobby had cleared, the “Jenny From the Block” singer stepped out, appearing to make a dramatic, runway-style walk toward her waiting vehicle while photographers snapped away.
Lopez briefly waved to fans before hopping inside her SUV and heading off to her next stop. The star was reportedly on her way to a screening event for Netflix’s “Office Romance” at AMC Newport Center in Jersey City.

As clips of Lopez’s now-viral hotel departure continued making the rounds online, even more critics piled on with blunt reactions. Some commenters questioned the singer’s relevance, with one writing, “She would be nothing without autotune. A washed-up has-been who has been reduced to staged paparazzi photo ops because no one gives a crap about her.”
Others admitted they still thought Lopez looked stunning, but couldn’t get past what they viewed as an awkward moment. “Sooooo embarrassing, she looks great of course but it’s just cringeville 2.0,” another person commented. A different user criticized celebrity appearances in general, writing, “She looks ridiculous. Most of these celebrities look stupid in real life. Their looks are embarrassing.”
Meanwhile, another harsh critic added, “Sick, insecure diva with zero talent.” One person summed up their thoughts on the moment more simply, writing, “Yup diva antics!”
Jennifer Lopez Gushes Over Brett Goldstein Amid Growing Buzz

Despite the online chatter surrounding her latest public appearance, Lopez had nothing but glowing things to say about Office Romance co-star Brett Goldstein. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at Netflix’s Upfront event in New York City on May 13, the singer and actress opened up about their connection while filming the upcoming romantic comedy. “We had great chemistry to begin with,” Lopez said. “It just grew as we did the film together.”
Lopez also revealed she was already a fan of the actor long before they worked together. “I was a huge fan of his from him doing Ted Lasso. Roy Kent, that’s one of my favorite characters,” she explained. “I thought he was going to be more like the character, but he was so soft-spoken and sweet and totally different.”
The sweet comments come as rumors continue to swirl that the pair may have “grown close” following production on the Netflix film.
Lopez Says She’s In Her ‘Happy Era’ After Ben Affleck Split

Earlier this year, Lopez opened up about entering a brand-new chapter in her life while promoting her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace. Structured in four acts, the residency reflected not only on Lopez’s decades-long career but also on the personal lessons she has learned along the way.
“I feel like my shows are always an athletic event,” Lopez joked during an interview with ABC News’ Juju Chang that aired on “Good Morning America.” But beyond the spectacle, Lopez said the residency represents something much deeper: what she calls her “happy era.” “I’m in my happy era,” Lopez shared. “I think for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free. I am on my own. And it feels really good.”
Jennifer Lopez Gets Candid About Life After Ben Affleck

The candid comments came after Lopez’s 2024 split from ex-husband Ben Affleck and marked one of her most personal reflections yet on independence. “I didn’t really know what that felt like since I was in my early 20s,” she continued. “And even before that, you know, I’ve always had a boyfriend. There was always kind of, like, someone in my life and so many other things that I felt like were out of my control.”
Lopez added that she has reached a place where she trusts herself more than ever. “I just am at a point in my life where I really trust myself and have learned to kind of, I guess this sounds funny, appreciate myself a little bit more instead of being so hard on myself all the time and always trying to prove so many things,” she said.

OnlyFans’ Amira Evans Makes $100 Per Min for Giantess Posts
OnlyFans creator Amira Evans is pulling back the curtain on her finances and revealing what she says she makes from her niche “giantess” content on the controversial adults-only platform.
“Men love the power dynamic where they feel so tiny and pathetic, and the woman is in charge and can just step on them any time and squish them like a bug,” Evans, 26, said in a press release shared with Us Weekly on Wednesday, May 13.
“Guys are really into the tall thing — they’ll often say things like, ‘Pick me up, mommy,’ and, ‘Sit on me,’ or, ‘Squish me,’” she added in the same release. “I have been asked to put a doll on the floor, face up, and stand on the doll in both high heels and barefoot. I have also been asked to put the doll inside my sock and stand on the doll with my sock on.”
According to the 6 foot, 7 inch, British OnlyFans star, she is paid $100 per minute for so-called “giantess” content, i.e. height- and dominance-based custom content. For the uninitiated, so-called “giantess” content focuses on a particular fascination with women of immense, larger-than-life status or size. This fascination allows for an exploration of size disparity between the sexes, power dynamics and role play.
Niche “giantess” erotic content has been gaining mainstream popularity after appearing in the long-awaited season 3 of HBO Max’s hit Euphoria. In the series, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) becomes an OnlyFans-like star who acts like a “giantess” to the delight of one of her subscribers, who pays her to pretend to squash people.

Amira Evans Facebook/amira-evans
In one scene that has gained a slew of online criticism, a larger-than-life Cassie unzips her top and presses her giant breasts up against a building’s windows. A normal-sized man, who was masturbating to one of Cassie’s online videos inside the office building, then comes to the window and presses his face against it and Cassie’s oversized breasts.
Evans explained in the same Wednesday press release that “giantess” fetish content is far more common than people realize, adding that many of her subscribers pay her “specifically” for her to make them feel “tiny” in comparison.
“I normally get my assistant to film me from the floor using a wide lens to make my legs look really long and my feet look massive,” Evans explained in the release.

Bethenny Frankel Fires Back Over Dina Manzo’s Criticism
Bethenny Frankel fired back after Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Dina Manzo and her daughter, Lexi Ioannou, accused her of not crediting their brand for one of her recent outfits.
“I don’t usually respond to things like this but I think there’s a business lesson here,” Frankel, 55, insisted via TikTok on Saturday, May 16.
The drama kicked off on Friday when Frankel showcased a strapless, polka dot sundress and received compliments about her black peep-toe pumps. She then pointed her fans to a Bloomingdales pair ($375) “for the same look.”
Ioannou, 30, later revealed that she’d sent the pumps to Bethenny as a promotion for her own fashion brand, Nou.
“Bethenny Frankel is a weirdo,” Ioannou claimed in an Instagram video on Friday. “I sent her a pair of shoes from Nou almost a year ago because I look up to her. [She is a] female entrepreneur [and from the] Bravo universe like me.”
Ioannou pointed out that Frankel never tagged Nou despite wearing the pumps in her social media content.
“OK, that happens, but then she posted a video today that’s going viral and a bunch of people are asking where the shoes are [from]. Instead of linking them, she linked a dupe with an affiliate link,” Ioannou complained. “I guess she’s got to get that bag in some sort of way? So, she got the shoes for free from a woman-founded brand, mine, and then she made money sending her followers somewhere else.”
Ioannou’s mom, Manzo, quoted one of Frankel’s iconic Real Housewives of New York City arguments with Ramona Singer while directing followers to buy “the real thing” from Nou.

“‘Wow Bethenny Wow!!’ So odd of you to post a dupe of your GIFTED @shopnou shoes instead of giving a young woman entrepreneur credit,” Manzo wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday. “You wear them often so we know you like them??”
Frankel later released an “Outfit of the Day” video where she did credit Nou. In her TikTok response, Frankel insisted that her decision to link out to another retailer was standard practice in social media.
“The shoes were sold out so we linked to something similar because the audience gets frustrated when there’s something they can’t buy,” Frankel explained. “Why would I wear something and talk about it, if they can’t buy it?”
She went on, “This female owner decided to post a scathing video of me. Her body, her choice. I have stated multiple times that if you send me something, I have no obligation to link, like, use, wear, buy, tag. I can do whatever I want.”
Frankel suggested that she was now reluctant to support Ioannou’s brand after being called out.
“There are about a hundred brands that will watch this video that will message her to tell her how much product I move,” the former RHONY star predicted. “How many sprinkle cookies for Melissa Gorga, how many dresses for Ramy Brook, how many pairs of jeans for Guess. I move a lot of product because I don’t bulls***.”
The reality TV icon argued that Ioannou’s “whining and being a cry baby” was playing the “short game” in the business world.
“It means you’re not a real business person. You have a lot to learn,” Frankel quipped. “I would have worn all of the shoes on your site and you would have sold thousands of pairs and made hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
She added, “My account. My body. My choice. Once you send those shoes into my house, my shoes. You’re welcome!”
Us Weekly has reached out to Ioannou’s representative for comment.

Pete Davidson’s Ex Elsie Hewitt Looks for Nanny After Split
Pete Davidson’s ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt is looking for a new “right hand person” following her split from the former Saturday Night Live star.
“I’m currently trying to find an assistant / mother’s helper / nanny type / basically [a] right hand person,” Hewitt, 30, announced via her Instagram Story on Saturday, May 16.
The Industry actress cautioned that any potential applicants would need to meet certain criteria before she’d consider them for the job.
“Apply here if qualified and serious,” she offered via her Instagram Story. “Only looking @ responses with resumes. ($ of course.)”
Hewitt’s search for a nanny comes five months after she and Davidson, 32, welcomed their first baby together, a daughter named Scottie Rose, in December 2025.
“Our perfect angel girl arrived 12/12/2025 scottie rose hewitt davidson,” she shared at the time. “My best work yet, i am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.”
Us Weekly exclusively reported on Saturday that Davidson and Hewitt recently decided to separate after 14 months of dating.
“They are still sorting things out as it pertains to their split,” a source close to the couple told Us. “They tried to make it work but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well. They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”

The insider suggested that it was “very unlikely” that Hewitt and Davidson would ever reconcile romantically while stressing that they are committed to coparenting effectively.
“They are still rooting for each other but are each going their own ways, outside of working to coparent and focusing on their baby,” the source told Us.
Davidson and Hewitt’s whirlwind relationship began when they were spotted together in March 2025 before announcing that they were expecting a baby together that July.
In January, Davidson and Hewitt told Us in a joint interview that they were planning to get married and have more children together.
“Yeah, we’ll do all that stuff,” Davidson insisted.
He also hinted “I think, obviously, we talk about next steps and all that stuff. But right now, we’re just, like, let’s get this routine with this baby down. … The first three months of the baby is, you’re just keeping her alive. We’re already, like, we’re gonna have another one.”
Earlier this week, the comic opened up on his “Pete Davidson Show” podcast about experiencing heartwarming parenting milestones with daughter Scottie Rose.
“[She] is 5 months old now,” he revealed. “She’s doing tummy time. She is really, really communicative. She’s trying to talk now. She’ll talk all day, but it’s just she’s going ‘la.’ So we kind of talk all day, and she’s so young.”
Prior to dating Hewitt, Davidson was engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018 and had high-profile relationships with Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian and his Bodies Bodies Bodies costar Chase Sui Wonders.
