Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have reportedly called it quits, just five months after welcoming their daughter, Scottie Rose.
The news first surfaced after The U.S.. Sun broke the story, and afterward a couple of insiders spoke about what may have pushed the breakup.. One source said Davidson had been traveling “so much for work. ” while Hewitt “was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born.” Another insider added that the pair are “just focusing 100% on Scottie. ” with “working out the best co-parenting solution” their “top priority.”
People then confirmed the situation on May 15 after speaking to an unnamed source.. That source said. “Pete and Elsie are working on things… There have been points where they’ve split and have gotten back together. ” while also noting it’s “difficult to say whether the couple will rekindle their romance.”
Hewitt’s own posts have also suggested how intense the early days of parenthood have been.. On May 14. she shared her exhaustion via Instagram Stories. including a selfie of herself looking tired with one hand on her head.. In the caption. she wrote: “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.” In a second Story. she shared another selfie of the upper half of her face and wrote. “I am a zombie.”
The timing of those posts sits alongside earlier relationship chatter.. In early May. another source claimed the then-couple was dealing with relationship “issues. ” saying: “There are issues. but they’re trying to figure things out together.. They’re adjusting to parenthood and working through the process.”
Scottie Rose—who was named after Davidson’s father, Scott Matthew Davidson—arrived on December 12, 2025.. Davidson and Hewitt’s relationship dates back to at least March 2025, and the pair announced Hewitt’s pregnancy in July 2025.. In March, Davidson spoke to People about becoming a new dad, saying: “Dad life is f****** awesome.. It is exhausting and rewarding and cute.. And I’m very lucky because Elsie is a fantastic mom. and I can’t stress enough how lucky I am. ” before adding. “It’s very rewarding to see the person you chose to have a baby with actually crush it so naturally.. And so Scottie’s very lucky in that way.”
The picture that emerges from the reporting is a sequence of strain and repair: early May included claims of “issues” while they “adjust[ed] to parenthood. ” May 14 showed Hewitt describing sleepless. breathless exhaustion. and by May 15 a source said the couple have “split” before and “gotten back together. ” while still working toward a co-parenting plan focused on Scottie.
For now, the stated priority remains their daughter.. While the relationship is being framed as a split. the sources describe ongoing efforts around parenting together—especially as both move forward in the complicated overlap of work schedules. recovery from birth. and the day-to-day reality of caring for a baby.
