Elsie Hewitt Says She’s ‘On My Own’ While Solo Parenting Amid Pete Davidson Split: ‘I’m Exhausted’

Context:

Elsie Hewitt describes navigating single parenthood five months after separating from Pete Davidson, insisting she’s managing the baby and work on her own while co-parenting. The split followed the couple’s one-year dating arc and the December 2025 birth of their daughter Scottie, whom Davidson has spoken about as a life’s biggest gift. Hewitt addressed paparazzi photos in a May TikTok, acknowledging exhaustion and the pressure of being photographed while caring for their child. Insiders say the couple is sorting through their future, making accommodations for the baby, and that a romantic reconciliation is unlikely. The timeline underscores how early parenthood amplified stressors and reshaped their relationship dynamics, with a shared focus on Scottie’s care going forward.

Dive Deeper:

  • Hewitt and Davidson began publicly dating in March 2025, announced they were expecting their first baby in July 2025, and welcomed daughter Scottie in December 2025; the baby’s name honors Davidson’s late firefighter father from 9/11.

  • In May 2026, Hewitt posted on TikTok responding to paparazzi photos taken during a walk with Scottie, expressing exhaustion and remarking that she ‘has to work and make money, and I’m doing it on my own.’

  • She later clarified in comments that she would be handling finances for Scottie solo, though that reply was reportedly deleted; Us Weekly reached out for comment to Davidson’s rep.

  • Us Weekly and other sources confirmed the couple had split after a year of dating, noting they are still sorting out their status and trying to co-parent, with accommodations made in their schedules for the baby.

  • Insiders described the split as driven by stressors from having a baby together when the two did not know each other deeply, making a romantic reconciliation unlikely.

  • Davidson had previously described Scottie as the biggest gift and acknowledged the challenge of balancing career and parenting, signaling that extensive time apart for work could be a factor in their decision-making.

  • Overall, the narrative centers on Hewitt’s solo parenting reality, the ongoing co-parenting arrangement, and the uncertain next steps for the relationship.
