Elsie Hewitt Opens Up About Single Parenthood

Model Elsie Hewitt is shedding light on her new reality, juggling life as a single mom to her 5-month-old daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson. The 30-year-old took to TikTok to address rumors swirling around her split from comedian Pete Davidson, candidly sharing her exhaustion and the challenges of balancing baby care with work.

In a TikTok video posted on May 16, Hewitt responded to paparazzi photos that captured her and Scottie on a stroll. "Yeah yeah, I know. I'm exhausted, OK? I should've left the house looking nicer yesterday. I should've known that that was going to happen," she commented, addressing the relentless attention. "But 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."

“Noted, next time I will try to look nicer when I get paparazzi-ed on a walk with my daughter,” Hewitt finished, with a touch of sarcasm.

Inside the Split: Pete Davidson's Continued Support

The video follows reports from The Sun U.S. on May 14, suggesting that Hewitt and the 32-year-old "Saturday Night Live" alum have parted ways. However, a source close to Davidson revealed to USA TODAY that he remains financially supportive, covering all expenses related to their daughter, including health insurance and Hewitt's rent.

While the couple's romantic chapter might be over, Davidson's commitment to his daughter remains unwavering. The pair had publicly announced their relationship in March 2025, followed by the exciting news of Hewitt's pregnancy in July.

Pete Davidson Reflects on Fatherhood and Legacy

Just before Scottie's birth, Davidson shared his thoughts with USA TODAY, reflecting on the legacy of his own father, who tragically died in the line of duty during the 9/11 attacks. "I think he's proud and he's excited to meet this baby," Davidson expressed, adding a heartfelt dimension to his new role as a father. "It's easy to be sad," he continued, "It's a beautiful thing. If anything, maybe he's coming back through the baby."

Though the relationship between Hewitt and Davidson has changed, their shared journey of parenthood is just beginning, with both navigating the complexities of raising a child in the public eye.
