Pete Davidson<\/a> and Elsie Hewitt<\/a> have reportedly split, with sources saying they are navigating the breakup while prioritizing co-parenting their daughter, Scottie Rose.<\/p>\n

Insiders claim the romance was strained by early parenthood in a fresh relationship and Davidson\u2019s demanding travel schedule, though both are said to still care for each other.<\/p>\n

Pete Davidson previously praised Elsie Hewitt\u2019s parenting and spoke about fatherhood reshaping his priorities, just before news of the separation emerged.<\/p>\n

A source close to the former couple said Davidson and Hewitt are \u201cstill sorting things out as it pertains to their split,\u201d while continuing to co-parent their young daughter, Scottie Rose.<\/p>\n

Insiders claim the relationship faced several pressures, particularly adjusting to parenthood so early into their romance. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey tried to make it work, but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn\u2019t yet know each other that well,\u201d the insider told Us Weekly<\/a>. \u201cThey are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the pair reportedly made efforts to keep things together and adapt their schedules around raising their daughter, reconciliation is said to be \u201cvery unlikely\u201d at this point.<\/p>\n

Despite going their separate ways romantically, the source noted that Davidson and Hewitt still care deeply for one another and remain committed to raising Scottie together.<\/p>\n

The couple first sparked dating rumors in March 2025 before welcoming their daughter later that year. Their daughter, born in December 2025, was named in honor of Davidson\u2019s late father, a firefighter who died responding to the September 11 attacks.<\/p>\n

In previous interviews, Davidson spoke openly about how fatherhood had completely shifted his priorities. <\/p>\n

He described Scottie as \u201cthe biggest gift\u201d and explained that being away from home now feels far more significant than career or public attention.<\/p>\n

The comedian also praised Hewitt\u2019s parenting, saying she naturally adapted to motherhood and was incredibly attentive to their baby\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

Davidson shared that Hewitt constantly monitored Scottie through the baby monitor and genuinely embraced caring for their daughter. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf [Scottie is] crying, [Elsie] knows exactly what to do. She has, like, little tricks that get her to relax or calm down, and all that stuff is really f-cking cool to watch and see,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A few weeks before news of the split surfaced, Davidson had even spoken about wanting to grow their family in the future, admitting he already liked the idea of Scottie eventually becoming a big sister despite how overwhelming new parenthood could be.<\/p>\n

Following news of the split, additional details emerged about what may have contributed to the breakup. <\/p>\n

According to insiders, balancing work commitments with the demands of raising a newborn created tension in the relationship.<\/p>\n

One source claimed Davidson\u2019s busy travel schedule became difficult for Hewitt, especially after the birth of their daughter, Scottie Rose.<\/p>\n

\u201cPete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,\u201d one insider said, per reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another source said the former couple is now fully focused on co-parenting and creating the best possible arrangement for their daughter moving forward. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey are just focusing 100% on Scottie. Working out the best co-parenting solution is their top priority,\u201d the source explained.<\/p>\n

Despite the breakup, insiders suggest the situation between Davidson and Hewitt remains complicated. <\/p>\n

One source told People Magazine<\/a> that the ex-couple has experienced periods of separation before eventually reconciling, making it unclear whether this split will be permanent.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, reports also surfaced claiming the pair had already been dealing with relationship struggles behind the scenes while adjusting to life as new parents.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Hewitt recently hinted at the emotional and physical exhaustion of motherhood on social media. On May 14, she shared a tired-looking selfie on her Instagram Stories and opened up about how overwhelming caring for a newborn can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen u finally get screaming baby down for a nap, and u exhale and sit with urself for a sec and realize u haven\u2019t breathed for an hour or peed all day. The silence is deafening,\u201d she wrote. In another post, Hewitt simply added, \u201cI am a zombie,\u201d alongside another close-up selfie.<\/p>\n
