Just a day after the news broke that Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have called it quits, the drama thickens. Sources reveal the “Saturday Night Live” star and the model, who welcomed their daughter Scottie last December, are struggling to maintain a friendship.
“They want to be friends and do things together, but it’s tough to even think about that right now,” a source spilled. Behind closed doors, it’s a different story—Davidson and Hewitt are reportedly “not getting along” since their baby’s arrival.
“They were already having issues during Elsie’s pregnancy,” the insider added. “Things escalated quickly, and they barely knew each other.” The couple, both in their thirties, is now trying to figure out how to co-parent their little one after pulling the plug on their romance.
“She’s not stopping Pete from seeing the baby, but it’s definitely not smooth sailing,” the source elaborated on their post-split dynamic. Davidson, often dubbed a “softie,” is said to want to be involved with the mother of his child.
“It’s not completely off the table,” they noted, emphasizing that the breakup was mutual. Representatives for both parties have yet to comment on this unfolding saga.
Reports suggest Davidson’s hectic work schedule played a significant role in the split. “Pete has been traveling non-stop for work, while Elsie needed more support at home after their daughter was born,” a source revealed. “It was tough for him because he has to work to pay the bills.”
Another insider confirmed that the split was recent, with both now focusing entirely on baby Scottie. This breakup didn’t come out of nowhere; earlier reports indicated that the couple was “navigating relationship struggles” and it was “unclear” how things would unfold.
Davidson and Hewitt first showcased their whirlwind romance during a PDA-filled vacation in Palm Beach back in March 2025. By July 2025, Hewitt proudly displayed her baby bump on Instagram. They celebrated with a bunny-themed baby shower before welcoming Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson on December 12, with Hewitt calling her “the perfect angel girl.”
The “Bupkis” star has long expressed his desire for family life. “I’m definitely a family guy,” he told Kevin Hart on “Hart to Heart” in 2022. “My favorite thing ever — which I’ve yet to achieve — is I want to have a kid,” he shared, adding that he was “so excited for that chapter.”
