Comedian and actor Pete Davidson and model-actress Elsie Hewitt have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson. The couple announced the joyous news shortly after the child’s birth on December 12, 2025, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
Joyful Announcement and Meaningful Name
Hewitt shared the news via social media, posting intimate photos of their new family and expressing her overwhelming emotions. She wrote, “Our perfect angel girl arrived 12/12/2025,” adding, “My best work yet, I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.” Alongside her message, Davidson contributed a brief note that read, “wu tang forever,” reflecting his unique personality.
The name Scottie honors Davidson’s late father, Scott Davidson, who was a firefighter killed during the September 11 attacks. The middle name, Rose, is a personal touch from Hewitt, as it is also her middle name. The couple chose to keep their daughter’s face private in the shared images, symbolizing their desire to protect her early on.
A Long-Awaited Dream for Davidson
Davidson and Hewitt publicly confirmed their relationship in March 2025 and announced the pregnancy in July. Fans expressed their joy for the couple, particularly since Davidson has often voiced his longing to become a father. Following the pregnancy announcement, he told E! News that his friends and family were excited for him, stating that it was a lifelong dream and he felt “incredibly lucky” and “happy.”
Davidson’s desire to become a parent stems from losing his father at the young age of seven, a tragedy that deeply influenced his ambitions. Support from friends and colleagues has poured in since the news of the baby’s arrival. Notably, longtime friend and fellow comedian Kenan Thompson expressed confidence in Davidson’s ability to be a dedicated father, describing him as a “hyper-dedicated dad” in an interview with Parade.
As the couple embarks on this new chapter, the arrival of their daughter signifies not only a personal milestone but also a moment of reflection for Davidson, who has long sought to build a family of his own.
