Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have reportedly split, with sources saying they’re navigating the breakup while prioritizing co-parenting their daughter, Scottie Rose.
Insiders claim the romance was strained by early parenthood in a fresh relationship and Davidson’s demanding travel schedule, though each are said to still take care of one another.
Pete Davidson previously praised Elsie Hewitt’s parenting and spoke about fatherhood reshaping his priorities, just before news of the separation emerged.
A source near the previous couple said Davidson and Hewitt are “still sorting things out because it pertains to their split,” while continuing to co-parent their young daughter, Scottie Rose.
Insiders claim the connection faced several pressures, particularly adjusting to parenthood so early into their romance.
“They tried to make it work, but there have been different stressors, including having a baby together as two individuals who didn’t yet know one another that well,” the insider told Us Weekly. “They’re each attempting to make it work and have made accommodations of their schedules for the infant.”
While the pair reportedly made efforts to maintain things together and adapt their schedules around raising their daughter, reconciliation is alleged to be “impossible” at this point.
Despite going their separate ways romantically, the source noted that Davidson and Hewitt still care deeply for each other and remain committed to raising Scottie together.
The couple first sparked dating rumors in March 2025 before welcoming their daughter later that yr. Their daughter, born in December 2025, was named in honor of Davidson’s late father, a firefighter who died responding to the September 11 attacks.
Pete Davidson On Fatherhood, Elsie Hewitt’s Parenting, And Plans For Expanding Their Family
In previous interviews, Davidson spoke openly about how fatherhood had completely shifted his priorities.
He described Scottie as “the largest gift” and explained that being away from home now feels much more significant than profession or public attention.
The comedian also praised Hewitt’s parenting, saying she naturally adapted to motherhood and was incredibly attentive to their baby’s needs.
Davidson shared that Hewitt always monitored Scottie through the infant monitor and genuinely embraced caring for his or her daughter.
“If [Scottie is] crying, [Elsie] knows exactly what to do. She has, like, little tricks that get her to loosen up or calm down, and all that stuff is admittedly f-cking cool to look at and see,” he said.
Just a few weeks before news of the split surfaced, Davidson had even spoken about wanting to grow their family in the longer term, admitting he already liked the thought of Scottie eventually becoming an enormous sister despite how overwhelming recent parenthood may very well be.
Following news of the split, additional details emerged about what can have contributed to the breakup.
In line with insiders, balancing work commitments with the demands of raising a newborn created tension in the connection.
One source claimed Davidson’s busy travel schedule became difficult for Hewitt, especially after the birth of their daughter, Scottie Rose.
“Pete has been traveling a lot for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,” one insider said, per reports.
One other source said the previous couple is now fully focused on co-parenting and creating the perfect possible arrangement for his or her daughter moving forward.
“They are only focusing 100% on Scottie. Understanding the perfect co-parenting solution is their top priority,” the source explained.

Meanwhile, Hewitt recently hinted on the emotional and physical exhaustion of motherhood on social media. On May 14, she shared a tired-looking selfie on her Instagram Stories and opened up about how overwhelming caring for a newborn will be.
“When u finally get screaming baby down for a nap, and u exhale and sit with urself for a sec and realize u haven’t breathed for an hour or peed all day. The silence is deafening,” she wrote. In one other post, Hewitt simply added, “I’m a zombie,” alongside one other close-up selfie.
