Elsie Hewitt and Pete Davidson announced the birth of their daughter on December 18 through Instagram posts. The caption included that their baby girl, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, was born on December 12, 2025. The couple shared a series of intimate photos showing them holding their newborn, with her face covered by a white heart emoji.
Hewitt wrote in the caption, “my best work yet, i am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief,” while Davidson added a short but celebratory note: “wu tang forever.” The couple first revealed Hewitt’s pregnancy in July and kept the months leading up to the birth largely private, focusing on quiet time together and preparing for their new arrival.
Now, the baby’s name, Scottie, carries particular significance for Pete Davidson. Their daughter is named after his late father, Scott Matthew Davidson, who was a New York City firefighter. He was one of the responders to and victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Pete Davidson was seven years old at the time and has frequently spoken about the profound impact of that loss throughout his life and career. Rose, meanwhile, is Hewitt’s middle name, giving their daughter a name that reflects both sides of her family.
The Instagram carousel included several tender moments, from Hewitt cradling Scottie to the happy parents kissing the baby. Fans quickly filled the comments with congratulations, and friends from their circle also shared their excitement. The baby’s birthdate — 12/12 — added an extra note of celebration for followers.
Furthermore, in the carousel, fans got to see possibly the first moment Elsie Hewitt held her and Pete Davidson’s baby in a hospital bed. Other photos include Scottie’s tiny hand, a mini soy sauce bottle held in front of her, and more.
