Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt break up amid strain of new parenthood

Comedian Pete Davidson and model Elsie Hewitt have reportedly split just five months after welcoming their daughter, with sources saying the pair are now focusing on co-parenting amid growing pressures of work and new parenthood.

The former Saturday Night Live star, 32, and Hewitt, 30, are said to have recently ended their relationship following a fast-moving romance that began going public in 2025, when they announced they were expecting their first child together.

The couple welcomed daughter Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson in December 2025, but insiders claim the demands of parenting alongside Davidson’s busy touring and comedy schedule placed significant strain on their relationship.

According to sources, the couple had been struggling to balance work commitments with life as new parents, with Hewitt reportedly seeking more support at home while adjusting to early motherhood.

One insider said Davidson’s work schedule kept him frequently on the move, adding that while he needed to work, it contributed to tension within the relationship.

Another source claimed the pair are now prioritising their daughter, saying they are “100 per cent focused” on co-parenting and finding the best arrangement for Scottie.

Reports also suggest that concerns about the relationship intensified in recent weeks, with Davidson allegedly making financial adjustments, including selling parts of his property portfolio, as the couple reassessed their future.

Despite the reported split, both have continued to share glimpses of life as new parents on social media.

Hewitt recently posted candid updates about the realities of motherhood, including the exhaustion and emotional toll of caring for a newborn, writing that she often felt overwhelmed and sleep-deprived.

She also marked her first Mother’s Day with a message dedicated to her daughter, reflecting on the experience of becoming a parent.

Davidson, meanwhile, has previously spoken publicly about fatherhood, describing it as “awesome” while also praising Hewitt as a “fantastic mom.”

The comedian has long been in the public eye for his high-profile relationships, while Hewitt has previously been linked to figures in entertainment and music.

As recently as earlier this year, the pair had spoken about expanding their family, with Davidson joking on stage about fatherhood and Hewitt expressing excitement about the idea of giving their daughter a sibling.

The reported breakup adds to ongoing speculation around Davidson’s personal life, though neither Davidson nor Hewitt has publicly confirmed the split.
