Pete Davidson caught off guard by Elsie Hewitt claims over solo parenting

A source says Pete Davidson is financially supporting his child despite Elsie Hewitt’s recent social media claims

Pete Davidson has reportedly been left surprised after his former partner Elsie Hewitt suggested on social media that she is raising their child alone, according to a source close to the situation. The comments have sparked renewed attention around the couple’s recent split and their approach to co parenting following the birth of their daughter.

Hewitt, 30, recently posted a video on TikTok in which she responded to paparazzi images of herself walking with the child in New York City. In the video, she spoke about the pressures of balancing work and childcare, saying she is managing responsibilities on her own. The remarks quickly circulated online, prompting debate among fans about the nature of her relationship with Davidson.

However, a source told that Davidson, 32, is fully involved in supporting both his child and Hewitt financially. The insider stated that he covers major expenses, including rent and health insurance, and remains present in the child’s life. The source added that Hewitt’s comments came as a surprise to those close to them and do not reflect the full situation.

The couple, who began dating in 2025, welcomed their daughter in December 2025. The child was reportedly named Scottie, a name chosen in tribute to Davidson’s father, who was a firefighter and died during the September 11 attacks. Following the birth, the pair are understood to have separated after around a year together, with reports indicating that they are now focusing on co parenting rather than a romantic relationship.

According to the same source, both Davidson and Hewitt are still working through the terms of their split and adjusting their schedules to prioritise their daughter. While reconciliation is considered unlikely, both parties are said to be committed to ensuring stability for the child.

Hewitt’s social media post also prompted discussion in its comment section, where she appeared to suggest she is handling financial responsibilities independently. That response has since been deleted, but screenshots and reposts continue to circulate online.

The situation highlights the growing scrutiny public figures face when sharing personal updates online, particularly when those narratives differ from accounts provided by sources close to them. In this case, the contrast between Hewitt’s comments and the insider statements has fuelled ongoing speculation about the reality of their co parenting arrangement.

Neither Pete Davidson nor Elsie Hewitt has issued an official public statement addressing the latest claims directly.
