New parents Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt reportedly split

Posted on May 15, 2026

Comedian Pete Davidson and the mother of his daughter, model Elsie Hewitt, have reportedly split.

The couple welcomed their daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, five months ago.

At the time of Scottie’s birth, the couple was united and loved up, making the announcement in a post on Instagram with the caption: Our perfect angel girl arrived 12/12/2025, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, my best work yet. I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief. – elsie wu tang forever. – Pete.

But, according to Page Six, sources say the former Saturday Night Live comedian’s workload and travel schedule have put a strain on his home life. 30-year-old Hewitt is reportedly not receiving the support she needs from 32-year-old Davidson as a new mother.

The couple first went public with their relationship in early 2025. Hewitt’s burgeoning belly made an appearance on her social media as the expectant parents prepared to welcome their baby, the first child for each of them.

The protective parents have only shown a handful of obscured images of the tiny tot, a clear sign that we will not get to see her face any time soon. It’s a choice many celebrities make to protect and give their children a chance at an anonymous life.
