Seven months after becoming parents and two months after ending their relationship, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have reached an important understanding about the person who continues to connect their lives: their daughter, Scottie.

Davidson, 32, and Hewitt, 30, have established a joint arrangement concerning their baby girl following their May breakup. The former couple made clear that despite the end of their romance, they intend to approach parenthood as a team and keep Scottie’s needs at the center of their decisions.

In a joint statement, Davidson and Hewitt said they are working cooperatively as coparents and remain committed to ensuring their daughter receives love and support from both of them.

The development marks a significant new chapter for a family that has experienced major changes in a relatively short period of time.

A Whirlwind Journey From Romance to Parenthood

Davidson and Hewitt were first romantically linked in March 2025. By December of that year, they had welcomed their first child together.

Their daughter was given a name carrying deep personal meaning for Davidson. Scottie was named in honor of his late father, Scott Matthew Davidson, making her arrival especially emotional for the comedian.

Becoming a father appeared to have an immediate impact on Davidson.

In March, while discussing his new life as a parent, the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member described fatherhood as exhausting but deeply rewarding. He also praised Hewitt as a mother, saying he felt fortunate to be raising their daughter with her.

Davidson acknowledged another unexpected change: an intense protective instinct that appeared after Scottie’s birth.

He explained that becoming a dad made him far more alert to the people around his daughter. Even situations that might previously have seemed ordinary could suddenly trigger a strong urge to protect her.

For Davidson, it was a new emotional gear—one that he compared to something primal.

But while the couple were adjusting to life with a newborn, difficulties were developing behind the scenes.

Relationship Struggles Followed Scottie’s Arrival

By April, Davidson and Hewitt were reportedly attempting to work through problems in their relationship.

The transition into parenthood had added a new dimension to their lives, but their efforts to stay together ultimately did not succeed. Their split was confirmed in May, approximately five months after Scottie’s birth.

The breakup left Hewitt facing an unexpectedly difficult adjustment.

Later that month, a source described the model as carrying much of the mental burden associated with caring for their baby while simultaneously trying to continue working and create stability for herself and Scottie.

Motherhood itself remained something Hewitt treasured. The harder reality was navigating the day-to-day demands after her relationship with Davidson ended.

According to the source, the emotional and physical responsibilities had become exhausting, particularly as Hewitt handled much of the daily routine. The transition could also feel isolating because her life had changed so dramatically in a short period.

Becoming a single mother was not how Hewitt had imagined this stage of her life.

Even so, her focus remained firmly on Scottie.

The source said Hewitt was grateful for her daughter and determined to be the best mother possible, even though the emotional adjustment following the breakup had proven more challenging than she expected.

Davidson’s Role After the Breakup

As questions emerged about how the former couple would navigate parenting separately, a source close to Davidson offered another perspective on the situation.

In May, the source said Davidson had made himself highly available and was providing extensive financial support for Scottie, including covering his daughter’s expenses.

The source also said Davidson wanted Hewitt to be healthy and successful because of the importance that would have for their daughter.

His involvement with Scottie was also visible during a milestone holiday the following month.

On June 21, Davidson celebrated Father’s Day in New York City with Scottie and his mother, Amy Waters Davidson. The family visited the American Museum of Natural History on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Although Scottie was still far too young to fully understand the museum experience, Davidson reportedly wanted to begin introducing her to some of New York’s best-known cultural landmarks.

The outing was described as relaxed and memorable, centered simply on a father spending time with his young daughter. People who encountered Davidson and Scottie during the visit were reportedly friendly and respectful.

Scottie’s Milestones Continue

While her parents worked through their new reality, Scottie’s first year continued to bring the small milestones that make early parenthood memorable.

On July 30, Hewitt shared another of those moments when her daughter completed her first swimming lesson.

Photos and videos showed Scottie experiencing the pool in a strawberry-themed swimsuit. Hewitt affectionately referred to her baby as her “lil strawberry” while expressing just how emotional the experience made her.

The sweet milestone arrived only a day before news emerged that Hewitt and Davidson had reached their coparenting agreement.

That timing offered a glimpse of the larger transition taking place.

Their romantic relationship may have ended, but the experiences of watching Scottie grow—from first holidays to first swimming lessons—remain shared parts of their lives as parents.

A New Relationship Built Around Their Daughter

For Davidson and Hewitt, the agreement represents a move away from questions surrounding their breakup and toward the practical reality of raising a child together.

Their relationship changed rapidly over roughly a year. They went from being romantically linked in early 2025 to welcoming Scottie in December, confronting relationship difficulties months later and ultimately separating in May.

Now, they are attempting to establish a different kind of partnership.

The former couple’s joint message emphasizes cooperation rather than the circumstances that led to their breakup. Whatever challenges existed between them as romantic partners, both are publicly expressing the same priority when it comes to Scottie.

Their daughter’s well-being comes first.

That commitment carries particular significance after Hewitt’s difficult adjustment to single motherhood and Davidson’s emotional descriptions of how profoundly becoming a father changed him.

For Hewitt, Scottie has remained at the heart of a demanding and unexpected transition. For Davidson, fatherhood has brought both joy and a powerful sense of responsibility.

Seven months into Scottie’s life, their family no longer looks the way it did when she was born. But the latest agreement suggests Davidson and Hewitt are working to create stability within that new reality—building a coparenting relationship designed to ensure their daughter continues receiving something neither parent wants the breakup to change: the love of both her mother and her father.
