New Parents, Old Problems: Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt Call It Quits

When the reality of sleepless nights and endless diaper changes hits, even celebrity relationships can crumble under the weight. Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have officially split after attempting to navigate the turbulent waters of new parenthood together, though the couple remains committed to coparenting their daughter, Scottie Rose.

The pair, who got together in March 2025 and welcomed Scottie Rose in December 2025, had been dealing with mounting relationship strain for weeks. By last month, sources confirmed they were working through a rough patch as they adjusted to life as first-time parents. What started as a whirlwind romance—pregnancy announcement came in July 2025—gradually transformed into something neither could sustain as a romantic partnership. The couple had frequently looked content throughout the pregnancy, vacationing together and celebrating milestones, but the pressures of new parenthood ultimately proved too much.

What makes this split particularly poignant is the weight of meaning Scottie Rose carries for Pete. The baby’s name honors his late father, FDNY firefighter Scott Matthew Davidson, who died responding to the 9/11 attacks. Despite the romantic breakup, both Pete and Elsie remain completely focused on coparenting their daughter—a testament to their maturity and shared priority.

A source close to the couple revealed they’re still“working on things,”noting they want one another to succeed and be happy. The relationship has had its ups and downs before, but this time the couple decided a romantic partnership wasn’t in the cards. It’s a reminder that sometimes two people can care deeply for each other and create something beautiful together—like a child—without being able to sustain the relationship that brought them there. The real test now is whether they can maintain that civility and commitment to Scottie Rose in the months ahead.
