Pete Davidson, Elsie Hewitt relationship timeline: From romance rumors to pregnancy reveal
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have gone from rumored lovebirds to expectant parents. The "SNL" alum and model, who first sparked dating speculation in March, surprised fans on July 16 when the couple announced on social media that they're expecting their first child. Just days after sharing the baby news, Davidson gushed about fatherhood in a July 22 interview with E! News, telling the outlet that he's "very lucky and very, very happy." "Everybody's just been super excited for me because they know it's been my dream," Davidson, 31, said, adding that he is excited "to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have. I assume you just try to give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it." Here's a look back at Davidson's relationship with Hewitt, as well as the actor-comedian's romantic history.

Just as the theme music ended, Davidson made a comedic entrance, smiling and wearing a white robe.

Mum plays 90s cartoon to four kids for a week and change leaves her floored
With the rise of tablets, smartphones and streaming services, it can feel tougher than ever to get on top of screen time. So one mum found a way to combat this issue Many parents are concerned their little ones are getting too much screen time. This is all the more worrying as the NHS warns that spending hours on devices can impact a child's attention span, communication, problem solving and social skills. So to try and approach the issue in a more old school way, a mum-of-four decided to make a simple change. For one week, she played 90s cartoons for her children instead of the brightly-coloured and loud videos kids have grown used to. And the differences were absolutely staggering. Ariel Shearer, the founder of Mom Taught Me, boasts 88,100 Instagram followers. She regularly shares parenting tips on the platform – and we reckon plenty of mums and dads will be following her lead following the experiment. Ariel said: "After a week of the kids watching only 90s TV shows, here's what I noticed... "I have four under six and here's what I've noticed in each of them. They're less overstimulated, no fast cuts or loud sound effects grabbing their attention every second. "They actually wander off to play rather than just sitting glued to the screen. There's less begging for 'one more episode' – it feels like the shows aren't designed to be addictive. "They engage more with each other while these shows are on. No more meltdowns when screen time ends." Ariel revealed she opted for nostalgic titles like Arthur, Rugrats, Little Bear, Bear in the Big Blue House, Dora the Explorer, Rolie Polie Olie and Blues Clues. Talk about a trip down memory lane! Following Ariel's post, many weighed in with their thoughts. One commenter said: "Both my kids grew up on many of these except Rugrats. We didn't like how bratty the kids acted. "There was a show made shortly after Bear in the Big Blue House called It's a Big Big World and pretty sure it's the same set and costume just turned the Bear into a sloth! My son loved it!" Meanwhile, another commented: "I can't stand having complete silence in my house, need to have something going on, nice to find the old cartoons they aren't as violent."

'My four kids only watched 90s cartoons for a week – I couldn't believe huge impact'
Screen time is a huge factor in parenting with many mums and dads doing everything they can to avoid their little ones from being glued to their technology devices As a parent, it can be difficult to limit your child from using their phone or tablet. The NHS recently listed the amount of screen time kids should have based on their age, but we all know it's always easier said than done, right? Nowadays many parents could be judged for allowing their little ones to use their technology devices out in public, or even letting them sit in front of the telly for countless hours. Now one mum revealed how tuning into 90s cartoons for an entire week had a huge impact on her four children in many ways. Mum-of-four Ariel Shearer boasts 88,100 followers on Instagram where she shares her parenting content. She's also the founder of Mom Taught Me, a trusted source for expert advice, practical life hacks and more. In her latest post, she told fans how she completed a week where her kids only watched 90s TV shows – and the results? Well, they were promising according to Ariel. She said: "After a week of the kids watching only 90s TV shows, here's what I noticed... "I have 4 under six and here's what I've noticed in each of them. They're less overstimulated, no fast cuts or loud sound effects grabbing their attention every second. "They actually wander off to play rather than just sitting glued to the screen. There's less begging for 'one more episode' – it feels like the shows aren't designed to be addictive. "They engage more with each other while these shows are on. No more meltdowns when screen time ends." Ariel then listed the shows she let her children watch, including Little Bear and the Bear in the Big Blue House. She also tuned into Arthur, Rugrats, Franklin, The Magic School Bus, Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer, PB&J Otter and Rolie Polie Olie. Ariel's theory is also backed up in a study published by the National Institutes of Health. This found the immediate impact of different types of TV on young children. It also claimed just 9 minutes of viewing a fast-paced television cartoon had huge negative effects on four-year-olds' executive function. Since her Instagram video was shared, it racked up thousands of likes and comments. One said: "Both my kids grew up on many of these except Rugrats. We didn't like how bratty the kids acted. "There was a show made shortly after Bear in the Big Blue House called It's a Big Big World and pretty sure it's the same set and costume just turned the Bear into a sloth! My son loved it!"

Happy Birthday Cree Summer: Celebrating The Iconic Voice Behind Our Favorite Characters
Source: Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Happy Birthday, Cree Summer! Today (July 7), marks the birthday of one of the most legendary voices in the game. From dropping gems as the free-spirited Freddie on A Different World to voicing some of the most iconic animated Black girls on TV, Cree has been shaping culture, one character at a time. Check out our favorite Cree roles inside. Let's talk resume: Cree isn't just a voice actor. She's the voice actor. The blueprint. She brought depth, soul, and unapologetic Black girl energy to characters we still quote and cosplay to this day. Back in the '90s, she stole our hearts as Freddie Brooks, the boho, brilliant and beautifully awkward law student on A Different World . Freddie was ahead of her time, speaking about racial justice, feminism, spirituality. Cree gave her a vibe nobody else could. It's animation where Cree truly became a cultural juggernaut. She gave us Susie Carmichael on Rugrats —the fearless, affirming toddler who ALWAYS checked Angelica. Susie was smart, sweet, and one of the few Black characters holding it down in a sea of white baby chaos. Then came Numbuh 5 on Codename: Kids Next Door , who was the candy-loving, unbothered, smooth-talking squad leader we all secretly wanted to be. Cree's chill delivery gave Numbuh 5 a level of cool that still lives rent-free in our heads. Don't forget her early work as Penny in Inspector Gadget or when she really showed out as Princess Kida in Atlantis: The Lost Empire . From Tiny Toon Adventures to Danny Phantom , Cree's catalog is deeper than your favorite rapper's discography. Cree didn't just voice characters, but she gave fans representation. She made sure Black girls saw themselves in magical, funny, brilliant ways that weren't happening enough in animation. She's the reason we saw ourselves as heroes, queens, and rebels with a cause. Today, we're giving Cree her flowers. Whether she's portraying our favorite cartoon characters or just popping up across our timelines with her unforgettable energy, she's been holding it down for decades. Happy Birthday, Cree! Thank you for raising generations of unapologetic, animated, magical Black girls. You're forever the voice of a movement.
