Pete Davidson’s whirlwind romance with model Elsie Hewitt appears to have come to an abrupt end only months after the pair welcomed their first child together.
Multiple reports published Thursday say the comedian and actor recently split following growing tension tied to the pressures of new parenthood and Davidson’s demanding travel schedule. Insiders claim the former couple is now focused primarily on raising their daughter, Scottie Rose, while navigating life separately.
The pair first sparked dating rumors in early 2025 before making their relationship public during a high-profile Florida vacation packed with paparazzi photos and public affection. What initially looked like another fast-moving Hollywood romance quickly evolved into something more serious when Hewitt revealed she was pregnant later that summer.
Their daughter was born in December 2025, marking a major turning point for Davidson, who had openly embraced fatherhood in recent interviews and social media moments. Friends close to the comedian previously described him as deeply invested in becoming a parent and protective of his growing family.
But behind the scenes, reports suggest the transition into parenthood was not entirely smooth. Sources claim Hewitt struggled with the realities of caring for a newborn while Davidson continued traveling for comedy performances and industry appearances across the country.
Recent weeks reportedly intensified the strain. Davidson attended several entertainment events in Los Angeles while Hewitt appeared to spend time at home in New York caring for their daughter. Social media posts from Hewitt also hinted at the exhaustion and emotional weight that often comes with early motherhood.
The breakup follows earlier reports that the couple had been trying to work through relationship difficulties while keeping their daughter as their shared priority. Despite the separation, insiders say both remain committed to finding a stable co-parenting arrangement moving forward.
The split adds another headline-making chapter to Davidson’s often public dating history, though this relationship marked one of the comedian’s most serious and family-oriented commitments to date.
