Elsie Hewitt said she felt “zombie”-like while caring for her five-month-old daughter, Scottie Rose, on Thursday, May 14, just as reports surfaced that she and Pete Davidson had broken up.
The 30-year-old model and actress posted to Instagram Story after what she described as a day spent wrangling a screaming baby and barely getting a break. “When u finally get screaming baby down for a nap and u exhale and sit with urself for a sec and realize u haven’t breathed for an hour or peed all day,” she wrote, adding: “The silence is deafening.”
The post landed the same day The U.S. Sun reported that Hewitt and Davidson had called it quits. A source told the outlet that the 32-year-old comedian had been traveling heavily for work, while Hewitt wanted more support at home after the baby was born. The report said both were focused on raising Scottie Rose and were working out the best co-parenting solution as their top priority.
The breakup talk was not new. Reports of trouble began circulating late last month, and on April 30 a source told People that Davidson and Hewitt were trying to figure things out together while adjusting to parenthood and working through the process. The two were first linked in March 2025.
Davidson’s recent public schedule has only added to the scrutiny. He appeared in Inglewood, California, on May 10 for Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart, then accepted an award in New York on May 11 at the 30th Annual Webby Awards, where he told the audience, “Thanks, I’m still dead inside.” That appearance, and the relationship rumors that surrounded it, were captured in a separate report on his Webby honor as speculation about Hewitt intensified.
For now, the story around the pair is less about romance than logistics. Hewitt’s post suggested the strain of new parenthood in blunt, unfiltered terms, while the breakup report points to a couple trying to build a workable routine around their daughter. The next step, based on the reports, is not reconciliation talk but whether Davidson and Hewitt can settle into a co-parenting arrangement that gives Scottie Rose the stability both say they are seeking.
