Model Elsie Hewitt marked a major milestone on Mother’s Day 2026, sharing a heartfelt Instagram tribute to her five-month-old daughter, Scottie Rose. But there was one striking absence from the emotional post: Pete Davidson, the baby’s father, was nowhere to be found—literally and symbolically.
While Hewitt posted intimate pictures celebrating her new role as a mother with a caption about sacrifice and honor, Davidson was across the country in Los Angeles. He was busy appearing at Netflix’s“The Roast of Kevin Hart,”where comedians took repeated shots at his notoriously complicated dating history. For a man navigating relationship turbulence with his baby’s mother on what’s traditionally a family-centered holiday, the timing felt off—and the jokes probably didn’t help the optics.
The couple has been quietly weathering rough waters since early May. According to sources close to the situation, Hewitt and Davidson are working through some serious challenges as they try to figure out what comes next in their relationship. It’s been just five months since Scottie Rose arrived on December 12, 2025, a moment that should have felt like a fresh start but instead seems to have collided with deeper compatibility issues.
What makes this particular Mother’s Day snapshot telling is how it mirrors a broader pattern. Hewitt’s Instagram post focused entirely on motherhood—her sacrifice, her honor, her love for her daughter—with Davidson conspicuously absent from the narrative. Whether intentional or not, it sends a message: she’s navigating this chapter solo, at least publicly. The couple has been together since March 2025, which means they’ve spent most of their relationship either pregnant or adjusting to new parenthood while their bond was apparently fracturing.
The real tension here isn’t just about missing one holiday. It’s about what happens when two people bring a child into the world before establishing a solid foundation themselves. Davidson’s track record in relationships is well-documented—comedians made sure everyone knew it during that Netflix roast—and Hewitt is now managing single motherhood duties while they sort out whether they’re even staying together. Mother’s Day becomes less about celebration and more about survival, less about partnership and more about what one person can do alone.
