PETE Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have officially split just five months after welcoming their daughter, The U.S. Sun has exclusively learned.
Insiders close to the couple said the problems in their relationship began to escalate after the model, 30, gave birth to their first child, Scottie Rose, in December.
A source claimed Pete‘s busy work schedule formed a wedge between them, and ultimately led to the breakup.
“Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,” said the insider.
“It was very hard for him because, obviously, he has to work to make money.”
Another source said they pulled the plug very recently, adding: “They are just focusing 100% on Scottie.

A rep for the couple declined to comment.

Elsie seemingly spent the holiday alone at home in Brooklyn, New York, and did not post anything about Pete.

The insider claimed it became clear that the relationship was ending last month as Pete started to offload his properties.
“Pete is selling his properties, including his upstate home and his Staten Island apartment, to open up funds as they move forward and figure out their next steps,” the insider explained, referring to Pete’s possible child support payments to his ex.
Pete is selling his Staten Island condo at a $350,000 loss. (The sale is still in the contract stage.)
Last summer, sources told The U.S. Sun about the difficulties the couple were experiencing in their new relationship, as Elsie navigated the early stages of her pregnancy.
According to a source, their arguments were getting nasty.
“It’s getting out of control,” the source said. “They’ve even started secretly recording each other.”
It is legal to record someone without their knowledge in New York since it is a one-party consent state.
Elsie and Pete began dating in early 2025.
She announced her pregnancy that July, and gave birth to their daughter on December 12.
