Good news! Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt finally figured out their co-parenting situation!
As we previously reported, news broke in May that the pair had split five months after welcoming their daughter, Scottie Rose. It wasn’t a peaceful split, though! When Elsie confirmed the reports, she threw her baby daddy under the bus! The 30-year-old model claimed she was taking care of their infant on her own with no help from Pete! Yeesh! We heard they weren’t on good terms after the split, but this is not OK!

However, sources for the Saturday Night Live alum insist that it is all lies! The insiders claimed he is supporting Elsie and Scottie financially, including by paying for rent, living expenses, and health insurance. Another source added Pete is “very involved” in his baby girl’s life:
“His friends were very confused by this totally false narrative that was being pushed that he’s absent or uninvolved. He feels that’s just not the reality of the situation.”
He tried to prove it, too! A source for People later revealed he isn’t traveling and working as much to spend more time with Scottie. He also reportedly got caught enjoying a “low-key Father’s Day” with his mom Amy Waters Davidson at the American Museum of Natural History on Manhattan’s Upper West Side last month:
“He wanted Scottie to be exposed to some of New York’s most famous museums, even though she’s still a baby. Overall, it was a sweet, low-key Father’s Day – just a fun, memorable day spent with his daughter. People were super friendly, respectful, and very supportive of Pete and Scottie. They just had a really nice time.”
Elsie and Pete are now offering a co-parenting update two months later! The former couple issued a joint statement to Page Six through their representatives, saying they are prioritizing their daughter:
“We are cooperatively co-parenting our daughter whose well-being remains our top priority, and we are fully committed to working together to give her love from both of us.”
A source also confirmed to the outlet that Pete and Elsie reached a joint agreement. The details of said agreement haven’t been revealed yet.
We’re glad they’ve worked things out! Let’s hope they can keep the peace moving forward for the sake of little Scottie! What are your reactions to the statement, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments (below).
