Pete Davidson has officially become a single dad. The well-known comedian is reported to have ended his relationship with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt just five months after the model gave birth to their first child, daughter Scottie Rose. This information was shared by a source with a news outlet on Thursday, May 14.
The insider’s confirmation comes after weeks of rumors suggesting that Davidson and Hewitt were experiencing difficulties in their relationship. According to the source, “Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born.” The source added, “It was very hard for him because, obviously, he has to work to make money.”
A second insider confirmed that the breakup occurred recently, stating, “They are just focusing 100 percent on Scottie.” Another confidant added, “Working out the best co-parenting solution is their top priority.”
Davidson and Hewitt first sparked breakup rumors earlier this month when DeuxMoi reported a blind item suggesting they had called it quits on their relationship. The comedian only dated Hewitt for roughly a year before their surprising split. The couple was first linked romantically in March 2025 after being caught showing affection in Palm Beach, Fla.
By July 2025, Davidson and Hewitt announced they were expecting their first child. At the time, the stand-up comedian expressed his excitement about becoming a dad during the New York City premiere of his new film, The Home.
“Well, I honestly couldn’t be more excited. As you know, it’s been my dream forever since I was a little kid. The baby’s mother is one of my favorite people to ever exist ever. She’s going to be a great mom, and I’m just stoked,” he said at the event, gushing over Hewitt.
“I hope to be the dad that I hoped that I would have,” he wished.
In a sweet post announcing their baby’s arrival, Hewitt wrote, “My best work yet. I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.” The former flames named Scottie after Davidson’s late father, Scott, one of the brave firefighters who tragically died in the September 11, 2001, attacks.
