Pete Davidson and his ex-girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, are reportedly in touch and trying to keep the peace for the sake of their daughter.
The former couple recently broke up, with Hewitt taking to social media to complain about being overworked, claiming she is the only one raising their daughter since the split.
However, sources close to Pete Davidson denied the claim, and now, it seems the pair are figuring out the best way forward by having “productive conversations.”
Following news of their split, things seemed to be getting messy quickly between Davidson and Hewitt, especially when the model made eyebrow-raising comments that implied the comedian wasn’t supporting her in the raising of their daughter, Scottie.
Now, according to Us Weekly, the exes appear to be working towards being on the same page, especially about their child’s upbringing.
“Their communication has improved,” an insider said, adding that Davidson and Hewitt are “having productive conversations” about co-parenting.
“They’ve been working together on parenting,” the source continued. “Pete has adjusted his schedule to be there for their daughter.”
However, on the topic of a potential reconciliation, the pair seems set on never getting back together: “Pete and Elsie both wanted [the relationship] to work, and it didn’t.”
Hewitt never directly named Davidson in her social media posts, but it was quite obvious she was accusing the comedian of not being a present father after their breakup.
The model’s claims about Davidson’s parenting were spurred by remarks made by fans who observed she looked disheveled during an outing with their daughter shortly after news of their split made headlines.
Reacting to the fan comments about her appearance, Hewitt made a TikTok video saying she doesn’t look “nicer” in the photos because she’s “exhausted.”
“That’s not what I’m thinking about right now, because I have a baby to take care of, and I also have to work and make money, and I’m doing it on my own, which is hard,” the model noted.
When asked directly by a fan if she meant that she was solely financially responsible for her daughter, Hewitt, in a now-deleted comment, said, “I am :).”
Pete Davidson Was ‘Confused’ By His Ex-Girlfriend’s Claims
Hewitt’s claim quickly went viral, prompting a quick response from sources close to Davidson, branding her comments untrue.
According to an insider, the comedian was taken aback by her claim as he has been “very present” in Scottie’s life.
“He wants nothing but the best for Elsie, and he shoulders all of the financial costs, including the costs for Elsie, her rent, and her health insurance,” the insider said.
They continued, “Elsie’s posts caught everyone around them off guard because they are simply not true.”
The Former Couple’s Relationship Ended Due To Major ‘Stressors’
While neither Davidson nor Hewitt has shared why they chose to separate, sources claim that their relationship was strained due to becoming parents early in their new relationship.
“They tried to make it work, but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well,” a source told Us Weekly.
They added, “They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”
Prior to their breakup, Davidson and Hewitt seemed very excited about becoming parents, even stating once that they hoped to give their daughter Scottie a sibling.
“We want her to have a friend, for sure,” Davidson said, adding in a chat with the news outlet. “We love the idea of her being a big sister.”
Pete Davidson’s Busy Schedule Added To The Strain On Their Relationship
According to reports, Davidson and Hewitt found it difficult to balance the comedian’s busy work schedule with the demands of raising a baby.
Davidson’s traveling, especially, is said to have become hard for Hewitt to deal with, which strained their relationship.
“Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,” an insider said.
“They are just focusing 100% on Scottie. Working out the best co-parenting solution is their top priority,” another source explained about the former couple.
