Pete Davidson sparks concern after 'dead inside' remark at Webby Awards
The comedian’s remark came amid rumours of relationship struggles with Elsie Hewitt
Pete Davidson has sparked fresh discussion about his personal life after making a darkly humorous remark during an appearance at the 30th Annual Webby Awards in New York City.
The comedian received the Special Achievement Award during the ceremony, presented by musician and longtime friend Machine Gun Kelly. While accepting the honour, Davidson surprised the audience with a blunt joke, saying, “Thanks, I’m still dead inside.”
The comment quickly drew attention online as speculation continues surrounding his relationship with model Elsie Hewitt.
The couple, who recently welcomed their daughter Scottie Rose, have reportedly been facing challenges adjusting to life as new parents. According to recent reports, sources close to the pair claim their relationship dynamic changed following Hewitt’s unexpected pregnancy.
Despite the rumours, Davidson has previously spoken positively about fatherhood, describing “dad life” as “awesome” and praising Hewitt as a great mother.
Reports suggest that while the pair may be dealing with difficulties behind the scenes, neither has fully stepped away from the relationship as they remain focused on creating stability for their daughter.
Davidson has also recently faced criticism over edgy jokes made during a comedy roast, where he referenced figures including Kanye West and conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
The latest public appearance has only added to growing curiosity surrounding the comedian’s current state of mind and relationship status.
