Pete Davidson has opened up about how some of the public 'sexualised' him during many of his high-profile relationships.

The SNL star, 31, and his current girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, 29, announced last month that they were expecting their first baby.

Taking to Instagram, Hewitt shared pictures of a scan and her baby bump. "Welp now everyone knows we had sex," the British-born model jokingly wrote in the caption.

A source told People in May that the pair moved in together after they were spotted enjoying themselves at the beach.

"Pete and Elsie have been living together in New York for the past few months," they claimed.

"They’re splitting their time between Pete’s house in upstate New York and a brownstone they recently started renting in Brooklyn.

"They’re so happy together and doing great."

Now, in a new interview with The Breakfast Club, Davidson spoke about his 'big d**k energy' frustration after his long list of famous exes, including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski.

It all started in 2018 when Grande - who he was in a relationship with from May 2018 to November 2018 - speculated on Twitter that his penis was 'like 10 inches'.

Speaking to Charlamagne Tha God about how it affected his work on SNL, he said: "I brought a lot of pop culture into the show, like I made it [a] sort of tabloidly, trendy thing unintentionally.

"Also, I was embarrassed by it because... no one talked about any work I was doing.

"They were just like, 'Oh, that's the f**k stick.' And that hurt so much."

The comedian said crew members, friends and family noticed how 'sad' he felt because of the attention.

"It's embarrassing, 'cause, you know... It's Hollywood. Everybody f**ks everyone," he added.

"Why are they focusing on me?" Davidson suggested, perhaps because he's 'not Glen Powell handsome'.

"I'm just like this dude that tells d**k jokes and is a drug addict," Davidson - who has now removed almost all of his tattoos - joked.

He said: "I don’t want to victimise myself in any way because I’m cool, but the sexualization of me - if that was a girl, people would be like, there would be a march for it... Seriously. You're just talking about my d**k all day."

Adding on the issue of having many of his relationships out in the open, Davidson said: "It just got to a point where I was... I got really tired of my whole career just being like my personal life.

"And living through that is sort of traumatic. Like, not to be lame, but it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time."
