Pete Davidson and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, have welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson. The couple shared the news on Instagram on Thursday, revealing a name that pays a touching tribute to Davidson’s late father. Hewitt did not hold back her emotions in the caption, calling the baby her “best work yet,” and writing, “i am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.”
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt named newborn baby after comedian’s late dad
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt named their baby, who arrived on December 12, after Davidson’s late father. Baby Scottie’s first name honors Scott Matthew Davidson, the New York City firefighter who lost his life responding to the September 11 attacks when Pete was just 7 years old. The middle name, Rose, is a nod to her mom, as it is Hewitt’s own middle name.
In the announcement photos, the new parents look settled into family life, smiling softly as they pose for the camera. Davidson stood behind Hewitt while she was cradling the newborn, who was swaddled in a white blanket, and gently kissing the baby’s head. While the couple shared these intimate moments with the world, they chose to keep Scottie’s face covered with a white heart emoji to maintain her privacy.
The baby’s arrival followed a pregnancy announcement on Instagram back in July, where Hewitt humorously confirmed the news. She posted a sonogram and joked, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” and since then, those close to the couple have said they were eager for this next step.
In September, a source told PEOPLE that Davidson was “preparing in every way he can, from helping get the nursery ready to making sure Elsie feels supported every step of the way.” The insider added that Davidson views fatherhood as “the most meaningful chapter of his life yet.” Moreover, they noted that the experience has already brought the couple “even closer” as they start their life as a family of three.
