Life has reportedly become far more complicated for Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt behind the scenes.
Just months after welcoming their first child together, the couple is now dealing with relationship struggles that insiders say have led to another breakup.
Even so, the pair does not appear ready to completely walk away from each other as they continue trying to navigate parenthood and an uncertain future together.
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have reportedly ended their relationship, though sources close to the pair insist the situation is not entirely over yet.
According to PEOPLE, the former couple is still attempting to work through their issues despite separating. One insider explained that neither Davidson nor Hewitt seems interested in turning the breakup into a bitter fallout.
“Pete and Elsie are working on things,” the source told the outlet. “They want one another to succeed and be happy.”
The insider also revealed that this is not the first difficult stretch in their relationship. According to the source, the couple has already experienced multiple breakups and reconciliations throughout their time together.
“There have been points where they’ve split and have gotten back together,” the insider explained, while also noting that it remains unclear whether they will reunite again this time.
The update surfaced shortly after earlier reports claimed the couple quietly split only five months after welcoming their daughter.
Davidson And Hewitt Focused On Parenthood
Although their romance appears uncertain, sources say Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt remain united when it comes to raising their child together.
Back in April, another insider told PEOPLE that the pair had already been struggling privately while adjusting to life as new parents.
“There are issues, but they’re trying to figure things out together,” the source said at the time. “They’re adjusting to parenthood and working through the process.”
According to the insider, their daughter continues to remain “their top priority.”
Davidson and Hewitt first sparked romance rumors in March 2025 before later announcing they were expecting a child together in July of that same year.
Their daughter, Scottie Rose, was born on Dec. 12, 2025. The child’s name carries emotional significance for Davidson, as Scottie was named after his late father, Scott Matthew Davidson, the New York City firefighter who died while responding to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The comedian has spoken openly in recent months about how fatherhood dramatically changed his perspective on life.
Pete Davidson Opened Up About Life As A Father
During a March interview with PEOPLE while promoting his Crocs campaign, Davidson sounded genuinely emotional while discussing becoming a dad for the first time.
“Dad life is f—ing awesome,” Davidson said. “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.”
The former “Saturday Night Live” star also admitted fatherhood awakened a new protective side of him that he never fully understood before having a child.
“It’s funny. It’s like I didn’t understand this. You’re just ready to fight anyone,” Davidson explained. “It’s like, chill out. No one’s doing anything to your kid.”
He also revealed that he recently got Scottie’s name tattooed near his ear, another sign of how deeply becoming a father had impacted him emotionally.
Despite the tension surrounding his relationship with Hewitt, Davidson has continued appearing publicly and making headlines for reasons completely unrelated to his family life.
Davidson Faced Backlash Over Roast Joke
Before news of the split became public, Pete Davidson found himself under fire following his appearance at Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart.”
During his set, the comedian made several aggressive jokes aimed at fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe that quickly sparked backlash online.
The controversial moment began when Davidson joked that Hinchcliffe looked like “both a child molester and the doll they give the child to show where he touched them.”
He later referenced the late conservative commentator Charlie Kirk in another shocking remark directed at Hinchcliffe.
“Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat,” Davidson said per The Blast during the performance.
Pete Davidson Doubled Down During Roast
After the audience reacted awkwardly, Davidson pushed even further with additional comments.
“Oh, you don’t know me? Kill Tony. Please someone f-cking kill Tony,” he said. “Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings. I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.”
The jokes immediately triggered criticism online, with many viewers calling the comments “cruel,” distasteful, and unnecessarily offensive.
