Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have reportedly split five months after welcoming their daughter Scottie.
The Saturday Night Live alum, 32, and the model, 30, called it quits on their whirlwind relationship in part due to Davidson's busy schedule.
'Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,' a source told The Sun of the new mother, who recently spoke about the 'sacrifice' of giving birth.
'It was very hard for him because, obviously, he has to work to make money,' the source added.
Another insider noted the split happened recently and that they are 'just focusing 100%' on their daughter.
'Working out the best co-parenting solution is their top priority.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to Davidson and Hewitt's representatives for comment.
The insider also claimed that it became clear the relationship was doomed last month when the comedian began to offload his real estate portfolio, including his Staten Island condo, in order to 'open up funds as they move forward and figure out their next steps', seemingly referring to possible child support payments he will have to make.
Amid news of their split, the tired new mom got candid about motherhood via social media on Thursday, admitting she felt like a 'zombie' after finally wrangling her daughter down for a nap.
'When u finally get screaming baby down for a nap and u exhale and sit with urself for a sec and realize u haven’t breathed for an hour or peed all day,' Hewitt wrote over a selfie on her Instagram Stories.
'The silence is deafening,' she added.
In another selfie from the couch she wrote, 'I am a zombie.'
Davidson has been keeping up a grueling travel schedule, hitting the stage for his Netflix Is a Joke special in Los Angeles before heading to the Kevin Hart roast on Mother's Day, as Hewitt shared solo photos of her with their daughter while seemingly spending the holiday without him.
When Davidson and Hewitt went public last March and announced her pregnancy a month later, his diehard fans clung to hopes that he had placed his turbulent past behind him and was settling down to the comforts of home and hearth.
Gone was the high-octane tumult of his dating history with celebrities like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Kate Beckinsale and Kaia Gerber.
He and Hewitt welcomed his baby in December and, as he pivoted to fatherhood, he spent a rumored $200,000 removing his prodigious sprawl of tattoos.
But whispers have recently been circulating of trouble brewing between the couple.
Davidson recently added fuel to the fire with a telling remark he made while attending the 30th Annual Webby Awards on Monday.
While accepting a Special Achievement Award for his impact in the comedy space, Davidson told the audience he is 'still dead inside.'
In public, Davidson has painted a rosy portrait of his household, gushing that 'Dad life is f***ing awesome' and that Hewitt is 'a fantastic mom,' to People.
However, a source recently told the Daily Mail: 'Not one of Pete's friends is surprised that there are relationship issues with him and Elsie.'
The insider explained: 'This is what he ends up doing always.
She was also warned well ahead of time in their relationship to be careful with him, because Pete loves to self-sabotage a good thing.'
The insider added: 'And now they are parents, which they love, but the pregnancy was unplanned and their dynamic immediately changed when she became pregnant, and they are trying to figure out the next steps as they want to be together for their kid, but it just might not be their endgame.'
At the time, the Daily Mail's source said Hewitt and Davidson were not 'fully broken up, but it is absolutely leading to it.'
Davidson, whose father Scott lost his life as a fireman on 9/11, did not want the relationship to end 'because he wants his daughter to have the luxury of having a complete family, something he wasn't afforded himself,' the source said.
Hewitt meanwhile 'would like that to happen as well, but dealing with Pete can be very overbearing,' the insider acknowledged.
Hewitt recently shed light on the 'sacrifice' of welcoming a child into the world as she celebrated her first Mother's Day in an Instagram post.
'We're all here because of a mother's sacrifice to make herself your first home. i got to be Scottie's,' she wrote in the caption. 'greatest honor of my life. happy mother's day.'
Her post did not feature any photos of Davidson, only snaps with her and Scottie.
As recently as January, Davidson was fondly floating the prospect of marrying Hewitt and giving baby Scottie a sibling, via Us Weekly.
'We want her to have a friend, for sure,' he said.
'We love the idea of her being a big sister.'
Hewitt concurred: 'The idea of making another one and making a sibling is something I’ve already been like: "I want to do it again."
They’re so tiny when they come out, and they grow so fast.
It’s crazy.'
The couple first went public in March 2025 as they packed on the PDA during a steamy Palm Beach getaway.
They announced her pregnancy that following July.
Hewitt took to Instagram in December to share that they welcomed a daughter as she uploaded pictures of the newborn.
Wile spending time in Las Vegas last month, Davidson joked that it has been 'hard to watch porn' now that he has a daughter of his own.
'[I] got a little girl.
It's weird having a little girl,' Davidson said at his comedy show which took place at the Fontainebleau hotel, per Us Weekly.
He revealed that it is 'hard to watch porn... in front of her,' before adding, 'I still did.
I power through.'
While Davidson has romanced a number of Hollywood's biggest stars, Hewitt was previously linked to Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis and Selena Gomez's husband, Benny Blanco.
