LOS ANGELES (FN) — Comedian Pete Davidson and model Elsie Hewitt have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, born December 12. The couple shared the news on social media, calling her their “perfect angel girl.”
Davidson, 32, is best known for his work on “Saturday Night Live,” where he rose to fame with his offbeat humor and candid approach to personal struggles. He has since built a career in stand‑up comedy and film, appearing in projects such as “The King of Staten Island” and “Bodies Bodies Bodies.”
Hewitt, 29, is a model and actress who has spoken openly about her pregnancy journey, including health challenges and the pressures of public attention. She posted photos from the hospital on Instagram, writing, “My best work yet. Overflowing with love and disbelief.”
The baby’s name carries deep personal meaning for Davidson. Scottie Rose is named in honor of his late father, Scott Davidson, a New York firefighter who died in the September 11 attacks. Davidson has often spoken about how that loss shaped his life and career.
The couple began dating in March 2025 and quickly became a fixture in celebrity headlines. They announced Hewitt’s pregnancy earlier this year, sharing candid updates with fans and offering glimpses into their relationship.
Davidson added his own playful touch to the announcement, captioning a photo of himself holding his newborn daughter with the phrase “Wu‑Tang forever,” a nod to his love of hip‑hop culture.
Friends and fellow entertainers quickly congratulated the pair, with messages of support flooding their social media accounts. Fans praised Davidson for honoring his father’s memory through his daughter’s name.
The birth comes at a time when Davidson has been open about his struggles with fame, mental health, and relationships. Observers say fatherhood may mark a new chapter of stability for the comedian, who has often used humor to process personal pain.
For Hewitt, the announcement was filled with gratitude and joy. She described the experience as transformative, sharing intimate photos of Davidson cradling their daughter and herself resting in the hospital bed.
As Davidson and Hewitt step into parenthood, their daughter’s arrival has been met with warmth from fans worldwide. The milestone blends personal healing with new beginnings, marking a poignant moment for one of comedy’s most talked‑about figures and his partner.
