As Elsie Hewitt said she’s working and taking care of their five-month-old daughter Scottie Rose on her own, new responses from Pete Davidson’s side push back, insisting he’s paying for her and Scottie’s needs.
A split that began after the birth of their daughter Scottie Rose has quickly turned into a public back-and-forth.
After welcoming the 5-month-old together. Elsie Hewitt confirmed the breakup in a pointed TikTok over the weekend. shrugging off paparazzi photos as she walked with the infant.. In the video. she said: “That’s not what I’m thinking about right now because I have a baby to take care of.. And I also have to work and make money, and I’m doing it on my own, which is hard.”
In the comments, Hewitt also replied to a user who expressed concern about the idea of Pete Davidson leaving her to handle finances for their child alone after they split. Her response came as a since-deleted comment.
The same day, Hewitt took to her Instagram Story revealing she was looking for help. She said: “I’m currently trying to find an assistant/ mother’s helper / nanny type / basically [a] right hand person.”
That’s where the story begins to shift. with a new message from Davidson’s side aimed at countering the notion he isn’t stepping up.. Over the weekend. a source told Page Six: “Pete has been paying for everything related to Elsie and Scottie. ” including “the rent. their living expenses. their health insurance.” The insider added that while “they may have split. ” Davidson’s “main priority right now is making sure that Elsie and Scottie are looked after. ” calling it “utterly confusing” that she would post anything suggesting he isn’t supporting her.. They further said Davidson “is fully committed to being a good dad.”
The insider also called the claim that Davidson “is not providing for her” “utterly false. ” adding: “That’s not the reality at all … [the] truth is he is actually paying for everything.. Pete is doing everything to be super supportive to Elsie. he’s changed his schedule. and done everything he can to be there physically and financially so Elsie can feel supported.”
On Sunday. another insider close to Davidson told People that he is covering all Scottie’s costs “and more. ” saying: “Pete has made himself extremely available and has provided financial support.. Pete is actually covering all Scottie costs and more.” They added: “He is hoping Elsie has good health and success for the sake of their daughter.”
The tension here plays out against Hewitt’s own public remarks and search for help: she said she’s working and handling things “on my own. which is hard. ” while a since-deleted comment responded to a worry about finances after the split—sparking a response from Davidson’s camp that he’s paying for “everything. ” including rent. living expenses. and health insurance.
For now. the messages show two competing pictures of what the breakup looks like day to day—one centered on Hewitt’s statements and need for support. the other on Davidson’s alleged financial and scheduling involvement—leaving readers with a messier. more personal side of celebrity relationships than either side appears ready to slow down.
