In a sudden turn, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have reportedly ended their relationship just five months after the birth of their daughter, Scottie. The Saturday Night Live star, 32, and the 30-year-old model are said to have parted ways due in part to Davidson’s demanding schedule and the challenges of new parenthood.
A source told The Sun: “Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support at home after their daughter was born. It was difficult for him, as he has to work to earn a living.” Another insider added that both parties are now focused on co-parenting, putting their daughter first.
The split reportedly became apparent last month when Davidson began liquidating parts of his real estate portfolio, including his Staten Island condo, seemingly to prepare for potential child support responsibilities.
Hewitt, meanwhile, candidly shared her first Mother’s Day experience on social media, describing the joy and sacrifice of welcoming Scottie: “We’re all here because of a mother’s sacrifice to make herself your first home. I got to be Scottie’s. Greatest honor of my life.” Her posts featured intimate moments with her daughter, though Davidson was notably absent from the images.
Since going public with their romance in March 2025, the pair moved quickly from dating to parenthood. When Hewitt announced her pregnancy in July, fans hoped Davidson was settling into family life, leaving behind his high-profile past relationships with stars like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Kate Beckinsale.
Despite the challenges, Davidson has publicly praised Hewitt as “a fantastic mom” while reflecting on fatherhood: “Dad life is f***ing awesome,” he told People magazine. However, friends of the couple suggest the intensity of their whirlwind romance and Davidson’s history of self-sabotage created pressure: “He rushes into relationships full-force, and it can be overwhelming. The pregnancy changed their dynamic, and now they’re figuring out what’s next.”
While the couple reportedly isn’t fully estranged, sources say the split is likely permanent. Davidson, who lost his father in the 9/11 attacks, is said to be trying to provide his daughter with a stable family experience—something he himself was deprived of growing up.
With Davidson recently alluding to his emotional struggles during the 30th Annual Webby Awards, admitting he was “still dead inside,” the pressures of career and parenthood appear to have taken their toll. Hewitt, embracing single motherhood, seems determined to prioritize her daughter’s well-being above all else.
The split of Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt underscores the complex reality of new parenthood, fame, and intense relationships—reminding fans that even the brightest romances can face unexpected hurdles.
