After going public in March 2025 and welcoming their daughter in December, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt faced new split rumors in May 2026, with insiders saying they’re still co-parenting and “working on things.”
Pete Davidson didn’t just land headlines for his comedy and movies.. Over and over. his relationships have become their own kind of public show. with every new romance prompting fresh speculation and every breakup raising new questions.. Now. that pattern is playing out again after Pete and Elsie Hewitt welcomed a baby and then found themselves at the center of fresh split reports.
The couple made their romance public in March 2025, later welcoming their daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, in December 2025.. Then, in May 2026, reports surfaced claiming Pete and Elsie had split after less than a year together.. Still, sources said the pair remained focused on co-parenting and said they were “working on things.”
For Pete, the public scrutiny isn’t new, and it’s something he’s directly acknowledged. During an August 13 appearance on The Breakfast Club, he said he feels guilty about the attention his girlfriend has to deal with now.
“I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of s**t,” he said. “She’s a very private person and she’s the one doing all the work. It’s supposed to be a beautiful experience.”
He added that Elsie hasn’t complained, but he can’t shake the idea that he disrupted what he says should have been an “ideal pregnancy” for her.
“She’s never made me feel this way or said anything,” he explained, “but I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy.”
The Hewitt chapter arrives after years of headline-making romance—everything from high-profile engagements to fast-moving flings.. At the start of 2023, Pete began dating Chase Sui Wonders, his co-star from Bodies Bodies Bodies.. Their relationship lasted through winter and into spring, but an August 24, 2023 report claimed it ended after less than a year.. He was later linked to Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline. with Us Weekly reporting on September 22. 2023 that he’d embarked on a romance. describing time spent at the Beverly Hills Hotel and keeping things “low-key and casual” with baseball hats.
Before any of that, Pete’s love life was already a familiar tabloid beat.. He dated Carly Aquilino in 2015. spent roughly two years with Cazzie David. went public with Ariana Grande in May 2018 and got engaged in June before calling it off by October 2018.. He also dated Kate Beckinsale in 2019. then moved on to Margaret Qualley later that year. followed by Kaia Gerber. and romance rumors with Phoebe Dynevor.
His most dramatic mainstream moment came when his relationship with Kim Kardashian took flight after fall 2021 speculation tied to a rollercoaster outing at Knott’s Berry Farm.. After working together when she hosted Saturday Night Live that October. sources reported a private rooftop dinner in Staten Island on Nov.. 2, 2021.. The two later called it quits after nine months.
Pete’s dating history also includes Emily Ratajkowski. with a November 14. 2022 report saying they’d been “talking for a couple [of] months.” That relationship ended by December 2022.. Meanwhile. during the Wonders era. Pete spoke on the Real Ones With Jon Berthnal podcast about how being in the public eye takes a toll. including the mockery he feels follows him even inside the comedy world.
“I’m in my 20s, and I’ve dated people,” he said. “And for some reason, that’s very crazy and interesting to people. I don’t think it’s interesting.”
He also described how his own show can feel confusing and draining: “When it’s your own show… and they’re making fun of you—and then you gotta walk out and do a sketch next and hit your mark… The show just made fun of you, so why are they going to laugh at you? They just dogged you!”
He later clarified that the atmosphere can get inside his head: “It was a really difficult thing to do… You feel insecure. You feel like a small person.”
Now. with the May 2026 split rumors surrounding Pete and Elsie. the real-time question is what happens next—especially with a baby already in the picture.. For now. insiders say the focus is on co-parenting and staying committed to sorting things out. with one source telling PEOPLE that they were still “working on things” and wanted “one another to succeed and be happy.”
