Actor and comedian Pete Davidson is reportedly experiencing a struggling period in his private life following his breakup with model Elsie Hewitt just months following the birth of their daughter. Reports indicate that the breakup was resulted by the pressures of balancing fresh parenthood with Davidson’s demanding career and travel schedule. While Hewitt allegedly needed more support at home after the birth of their daughter, Davidson was reportedly under strain to continue working and keeping his career commitments.
Sources claim the couple had relationship struggles before the breakup
As per a source quoted by The People, Davidson and Hewitt’s relationship had already faced several ups and downs before their separation.
“There have been points where they've split and have gotten back together,” the source reportedly stated, while adding that it remains uncertain whether the duo could reconcile again.
Another insider reportedly claimed that challenges had begun even before their daughter was born.
“They were already struggling a bit where Elsie was pregnant. Things just happened so quickly between them, and they didn't know each other well,” the source cited.
The insider further added that both Davidson and Hewitt are currently mainly focused on co-parenting their daughter despite their personal challenges.
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt’s whirlwind romance moved quickly
Davidson and Hewitt reportedly started dating in March 2025 after meeting through mutual friends earlier that year. Their romance rapidly became public after the duo were captured together during a vacation in Palm Beach, Florida. A few months later, they made their official red carpet debut together at the Blossom Ball in New York City in May 2025.
In July 2025, Hewitt publicly revealed her pregnancy. The pair later welcomed their daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, in December 2025. Although they primarily appeared happy together in public, later reports indicated that strains quietly developed behind the scenes after becoming parents.
As per the recent report by The Sun, Davidson’s busy work schedule allegedly created extra strain in the relationship following their daughter’s birth.
One insider reportedly told the outlet:
“Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born.”
Legal experts estimate Pete Davidson could face major child support payments
The breakup has also sparked speculation regarding a possible legal battle involving custody and child support.
According to a legal expert cited by The U.S. Sun, Davidson could possibly face significant child support obligations if the matter reaches court. The report claimed Davidson allegedly received around USD 3 million in 2025, while Hewitt reportedly made several hundred thousand dollars through endorsement agreements during the same period.
“Under that scenario, the annual amount would be around $510,000 a year, meaning about $42,500 a month,” the attorney allegedly stated.
At present, it remains uncertain whether Davidson and Hewitt will resolve parenting and financial matters privately or if the dispute could eventually enter the legal system.
Neither Davidson nor Hewitt has publicly remarked directly on the recent reports surrounding their breakup, custody rumors, or financial discussions. Currently, insiders suggest that both remain concentrated on raising their infant daughter while adjusting to life after their highly publicized seperation.
