Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are reportedly facing tension in their relationship as they adjust to life as new parents. A source told PEOPLE on April 30 that there are issues between the couple, but they are trying to figure things out together.
The source said the pair are still working through the shift into parenthood after welcoming their daughter, Scottie Rose, on December 12, 2025. Davidson has spoken openly about fatherhood in recent months, telling PEOPLE in March, “Dad life is f*cking awesome,” and describing it as “exhausting and rewarding and cute.” He also said Hewitt is “a fantastic mom” and said he feels very lucky, adding that becoming a parent has made him more protective. Davidson and Hewitt began dating in March 2025 and announced the pregnancy a few months later.
Their daughter’s name also carries family meaning. Scottie Rose honors Davidson’s late father, Scott Matthew, who died during the 9/11 attacks. That detail gives the baby’s name a weight that reaches beyond the couple’s current strain, tying their new family life to a loss Davidson has talked about publicly.
The tension now sits against a backdrop of a relationship that moved quickly from dating to pregnancy to parenthood. The source framed the issues not as a break, but as part of the couple’s effort to adapt to life with an infant, a process that can test even a relationship built in public. What happens next will show whether they can settle into that change together.
