Pete Davidson Embracing Fatherhood: Baby Scottie Hits New Milestones at Five Months

Pete Davidson is living proof that comedy and parenthood can coexist—even when one involves late-night punchlines and the other involves 3 a.m. feedings. During a live taping of the Pete Davidson Show podcast on Sunday, May 10, the 32-year-old stand-up comic opened up about the joy—and the babbling—of raising his five-month-old daughter, Scottie Rose.

Davidson spoke with fellow comedian John Mulaney about watching his bundle of joy grow up, painting a picture of genuine warmth beneath the wisecracks. He’s marveling at the small wins: Scottie’s doing tummy time, she’s communicative beyond measure, and she’s already attempting to talk. Sure, it’s mostly“la”on repeat, but to her dad, it’s everything.“She’s so cute and chunky,”he told Mulaney.“It’s been really awesome.”This is the kind of dad energy that doesn’t make headlines—until it does.

Scottie was born in December 2025 to Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, and her name carries weight. She’s named after Davidson’s late father, Scott Davidson, a firefighter who died in the line of duty responding to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City. That’s not just a name; it’s a tribute, a thread connecting three generations and honoring sacrifice. This Mother’s Day (May 11, 2026), Hewitt celebrated the milestone with a heartfelt Instagram post, writing that she got to be“Scottie’s❣️”and calling it“the greatest honor of my life.”

It’s worth noting that while Davidson and Hewitt are navigating parenthood together, they’re also figuring out what comes next in their relationship. According to sources, they’re“working things out”on their own timeframe. That’s real life—messy, uncertain, and unfolding in real time. But in this moment, the focus is clear: two people watching their daughter grow, celebrating her milestones, and finding joy in the everyday chaos.

The Pete Davidson Show podcast has become a space where the SNL alum connects with friends and peers about life beyond the sketch comedy stage. Mulaney also gushed about his own daughter, Méi, shared with wife Olivia Munn, noting her expressive nature and how she’ll stop crying the moment music starts playing. It’s a reminder that underneath all the celebrity polish, these are just parents marveling at their kids—universal, relatable, and genuinely moving.
