Pete Davidson, 32, and Elsie Hewitt, 30, have reportedly ended their relationship, approximately five months after welcoming their daughter, Scottie Rose. The split, confirmed on May 14, 2026, comes amid Davidson's demanding work schedule, with sources suggesting Hewitt felt a lack of support at home.
The primary cited reason for the breakup centers on Davidson's extensive travel for his comedy tours and film projects, which reportedly left Hewitt feeling isolated and in need of more assistance with their infant daughter. Insiders maintain that both parents are now focused on co-parenting their child. The couple, who were first linked in March 2025, announced their pregnancy in July of the same year and welcomed Scottie Rose on December 12, 2025.
Reports of relationship strain began to surface earlier in May 2026, with Hewitt posting a cryptic message on social media reading, "Silence is deafening," on May 14th. She also celebrated her first Mother's Day on May 11, 2026, with posts that did not feature Davidson, focusing instead on her daughter.

While some earlier reports from mid-April 2026 indicated the couple was attempting to work through their difficulties, new information suggests the split is definitive. A source close to the pair told People Magazine that "There are issues, but they're trying to figure things out together," but subsequent reports confirm the separation. The couple's relationship moved at a rapid pace, with their romance beginning just over a year before the reported split, following a pregnancy announcement mere months after going public.
The name Scottie Rose holds significance, with the first name honoring Davidson's late father, Scott Matthew Davidson, who died during the September 11th attacks, and the middle name, Rose, referencing Hewitt's middle name. Despite the separation, both Davidson and Hewitt have publicly stated that their daughter remains their top priority.
