Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt baby girl's name is a meaningful tribute to his late father

Pete Davidson and his girlfriend, model and actress Elsie Hewitt, have officially become parents. The couple announced the arrival of their daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, sharing the happy news with fans through heartfelt social media posts.

Their baby girl was born on December 12, and the announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from friends, fellow celebrities, and fans.

The name Scottie carries powerful meaning for Davidson. It is a tribute to his father, Scott Matthew Davidson, a New York City firefighter who died in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks when Pete was just seven years old.

Pete has spoken openly for years about the impact of losing his father and how it shaped his life, making the choice of name especially emotional and symbolic.

Scottie’s middle name, Rose, is a nod to Elsie Hewitt’s own middle name, while her full name includes both parents’ surnames, reflecting a shared family identity.

In her announcement, Hewitt described their daughter as their “perfect angel girl” and expressed overwhelming love, gratitude, and disbelief as she embraced motherhood. Davidson added his signature humor to the moment with a lighthearted caption, balancing emotion with personality.

The couple confirmed their relationship earlier this year and revealed Hewitt’s pregnancy in July. Davidson has previously shared that becoming a father was one of his biggest dreams, often saying he wanted to be the kind of parent he didn’t get to have for long. Those close to the pair say both are thrilled and fully embracing this new chapter.

With the arrival of Scottie Rose, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt step into parenthood with a name rooted in love, remembrance, and family — honouring the past while looking ahead to the future.
