Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt started dating around March of 2025. By July 2025, they announced that they were expecting their first child. Given the way Pete has historically moved through relationships at a steady clip, I didn’t think this would last beyond the baby’s first six months. I even said that in the pregnancy story last July, I expressed doubt that Elsie and Pete would make it through this kid’s first birthday. To be clear, I’m not calling Pete a womanizer, but he is a serial monogamist who usually dumps his girlfriends or fiancees after about a year. Well, Pete and Elsie welcomed their daughter Scottie Rose on December 12. Now People Magazine seems to be soft-launching “relationship issues.”
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are working through their relationship issues, a source tells PEOPLE, five months after the couple welcomed their baby girl, Scottie Rose.
“There are issues, but they’re trying to figure things out together,” the source tells PEOPLE on Thursday, April 30. “They’re adjusting to parenthood and working through the process.”
The comedian, 32, and model, 30, consider their baby girl “their top priority,” the source continues.
PEOPLE has reached out to Davidson’s rep for comment.
Davidson and Hewitt have been romantically linked since March 2025. In July 2025, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. Scottie Rose was born on Dec. 12, 2025, and she was named after Davidson’s father, Scott Matthew Davidson, a New York City firefighter who died while responding to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Dad life is f–king awesome,” Davidson told PEOPLE in a March interview while discussing his new Crocs campaign. “It is exhausting and rewarding and cute. And I’m very lucky because Elsie is a fantastic mom, and I can’t stress enough how lucky I am.”
You have to understand, this is not a reaction to any kind of exposé on their relationship or anything. Most people have ignored them, other than saying “good luck with the baby, congrats!” Out of nowhere, “sources” are like “there are issues, but don’t worry!” Yeah. They’ll be over by the semiquincentennial. And that’s fine! I’d rather them figure out a healthy coparenting situation rather than stagger through another year with gritted teeth, just to prove something. It’s fine! No one expected this to work out long-term!

Completely unsurprised as well
Lemme guess- he’s having a “hard time” with her being preoccupied with the baby, not wanting sec etc etc
He always moves way too quickly and the relationship always inevitably crashes and burns. I have a real soft spot for Pete and I’m glad he’s embracing fatherhood but this relationship always felt doomed.
I have a soft spot for Pete and want him to be happy. I’m not sure if he goes through relationships so fast because he’s the one pulling the plug OR if it’s his partners who tire of him. It’s probably a combo of both. He has been open about his borderline personality disorder and he can be a lot (one of the reasons why his relationship with Kaia Gerber crashed and burned, I remember her parents got involved because she was so young at the time and no doubt super overwhelmed).
But given his history, I can see his mood swings being stressful to Elsie and her wanting out for her own sake and the baby’s. Pete comes across as very needy and needing a lot of reassurance. Elsie is a new mom and all her energy is going to the baby. She can’t parent a baby and her partner. All his former partners have had nothing but positive things to say about him and I believe he treats them all well. But I also think he becomes too much to manage and is super clingy and needy. That gets old pretty fast. So the fact that they might be calling it quits is unsurprising. Relationships where a pregnancy happens so early on rarely survive IMO.
