Pete Davidson‘s split from model Elsie Hewitt seems to be quickly taking a left turn after she claimed she is the only one raising their baby.
Rumors of the couple’s split were recently confirmed after sources close to the pair revealed that they had broken up amicably as their relationship faced different “stressors.”
Now, insiders claim Elsie Hewitt’s latest remarks in a candid video about raising a child on her own have left Pete Davidson in shock.
Hewitt has left Davidson scratching his head over her comments about being her daughter’s only parent following her split from the comedian.
In a video shared on her Instagram page, the model addressed critics who picked apart her somewhat disheveled appearance during a recent outing, stating that looks are no longer her priority.
“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,” Hewitt said.
While her remarks weren’t directly aimed at Davidson, sources revealed they have left the comedian stunned because he is “very present” in their baby’s life.
Speaking to Us Weekly, an insider said, “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. Elsie’s posts caught everyone around them off guard because they are simply not true.”
Elsie Hewitt Specified That She Is Caring For Their Daughter All By Herself
Besides claiming she was raising her daughter on her own, Hewitt also said in her video that she was “exhausted,” hence why she didn’t look “nicer” in the viral photos of her with her daughter, Scottie.
Her remarks led to a flood of comments from concerned fans, with many unsurprisingly calling out Davidson.
One person noted, “I loved Pete and respected his craft. But if that man really left you doing things on your own, that’s so low of him. Unacceptable!”
Another said, “That man was a walking red flag,” while a third noted that he should “pay up.”
A particular commenter asked Hewitt to clarify her claims in a bid to know if the model meant she was solely financially responsible for her daughter, to which she responded, “I am :),” per reports.
Pete Davidson And Elsie Hewitt’s Romance Was Strained By Various ‘Stressors’
According to Us Weekly, a source revealed that Davidson and Hewitt are still “sorting things out as it pertains to their split.”
They also hinted at the reason behind the couple’s breakup, noting that their becoming parents despite their relationship still being fresh played a major role.
“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,” the source said.
Davidson and Hewitt are, however, “both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”
Regarding a possible reconciliation, the source noted that it is “very unlikely” for the duo ever to reunite “romantically.”
While neither Davidson nor Hewitt has officially addressed claims of their split, sources revealed it was ultimately the comedian who ended things.
Hewitt reportedly did all she could to make the relationship work, but Davidson “decided he was done” and ready to move on from their romance.
A source speaking to journalist Rob Shuter’s “Naught But Nice” Substack noted that the former couple’s relationship cracked under the pressure of becoming first-time parents.
This is said to have exposed how little the couple knew of each other before having a child together.
“They confused intense chemistry with long-term compatibility,” the insider said. “They thought having a baby would be exciting and bring them closer together. The reality was the complete opposite.”
Elsie Hewitt And Pete Davidson Talked About Having More Kids
Barely a month after welcoming their daughter, Hewitt and Davidson hinted at the possibility of having more children together.
During an appearance for a campaign promo, the comedian shared how excited he was about being a father, noting that he would love for baby Scottie to have a sibling.
“We want her to have a friend, for sure,” Davidson told Us Weekly in early January 2026. “We love the idea of her being a big sister.
Hewitt, for her part, said that the thought of having another child fresh off a pregnancy was “insane,” but admitted that the “process” of giving birth was both “incredible” and “empowering.”
“The idea of making another one and making a sibling is something I’ve already been like, ‘I want to do it again,’” she added. “They’re so tiny when they come out, and they grow so fast. It’s crazy.”
