When a relationship ends, the real work often just begins — especially when there’s a little one in the picture. Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have found themselves navigating exactly that terrain after their split earlier this month, and sources close to the pair say they’re putting in the effort to make coparenting work.

The timeline here matters: Davidson and Hewitt started dating in March 2025, learned they were expecting in July of that same year, and welcomed their daughter Scottie in December. By the new year, rumors swirled that things were heading south. Now, just a few months into parenthood, they’ve gone their separate ways — but not completely apart.

According to insiders speaking with Us Weekly, the exes have actually been“having productive conversations”about parenting and their communication has improved since the split. Davidson, 30, has adjusted his schedule to be there for Scottie, and those close to him emphasize that he’s“very involved”in his daughter’s life. One source put it plainly:“He has also been financially supporting both of them.”Davidson is reportedly“definitely disappointed”that things didn’t work out. He believed they were in love and headed for the long haul, so the breakup hit harder than a casual fling would.

Here’s where it gets complicated — and this is the internet age, after all. In mid-May, Hewitt posted a TikTok claiming she’s been parenting“on my own”while juggling work and childcare.“I’m doing it on my own, which is hard,”she said, later clarifying that she meant she’s providing for their daughter alone. But sources immediately pushed back, stating that Davidson is“fully financially supporting”both Scottie and Hewitt, including her rent and health insurance. One insider called Hewitt’s posts“simply not true,”saying they“caught everyone around them off guard.”

So what’s really happening here? Two people who wanted their relationship to work found out it didn’t. They’re adjusting to co-parenting instead of partnering. Davidson is staying involved and footing the bills. Hewitt is managing the day-to-day grind of motherhood while maintaining her career. It’s messier than a simple split — there’s money, custody, public perception, and yes, conflicting narratives on social media. But underneath it all, sources say reconciliation is“very unlikely,”and both are trying to move forward in whatever way makes sense for them and their daughter.
