Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have managed to put aside their differences for the sake of their daughter.
The comedian and the model were the epitome of a happy couple when they announced they were welcoming their first child together after less than a year of dating.
Unfortunately, Davidson and Hewitt weren’t able to keep the passion burning, with the strain of parenting forcing them to split. Custody issues began to rear their ugly heads, but the pair seems to have found common ground.
Seven months after the birth of Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, her parents have reportedly reached a “joint agreement” in how they would continue to raise her.
The former couple confirmed the positive update in a statement to PEOPLE Magazine that read:
“We are cooperatively coparenting 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.”
This comes just two months after Hewitt and Davidson shocked the world with news of their breakup. At the time, close sources claimed the duo was trying to work through their issues, and it was unclear if they would make up.
The Former Couple Were Having ‘Productive Conversations’ Already
It comes as no surprise that things have been resolved between the coparents after sources admitted discussion had been happening behind closed doors.
According to The Blast, an insider revealed things have gotten better between Davidson and Hewitt as communicating more led to them “having productive conversations” about their beloved daughter.
The informant noted that the “Saturday Night Live” alum stepped up and adjusted things to be more of a present dad. “Pete has adjusted his schedule to be there for their daughter,” they added.
However, the topic of reconciliation is one they can’t manage to see eye-to-eye on even though they really wanted the relationship to work.

Unfortunately, any hopes of a reunion were squashed when Hewitt alluded to the Staten Island native not being an involved parent.
As reported by The Blast, in a TikTok post, the model who once posed for Playboy insinuated she was single-parenting after paparazzi photographed her looking disheveled while pushing her daughter in a stroller
“That’s not what I’m thinking about right now, because I have a baby to take care of, and I also have to work and make money, and I’m doing it on my own,” she said in the clip.
She also put out a call for help, seeking an assistant and a nanny to lighten her load.
Pete Davidson Refutes Claim Of Hewitt Raising Daughter Alone
Although Hewitt didn’t directly allude to the breakup, her claims didn’t go unchallenged by those in Davidson’s close circle. Insiders revealed the 32-year-old was flabbergasted by the news that the model was raising their daughter all by herself.
Describing the comedian as a “very present” father, the source noted Davidson’s priority remains his child and her mother even with the split.
“He wants nothing but the best for Elsie, and he shoulders all of the financial costs, including the costs for Elsie, her rent, and her health insurance. Elsie’s posts caught everyone around them off guard because they are simply not true,” explained the insider, per The Blast.
As for their romantic woes, the informant stated that several “stressors,” including the baby, affected things. It also didn’t help that parenting happened very early in their relationship as they were still getting to know each other.
The Ex-Couple Was Experiencing ‘Too Much’ Friction
Close friends of the former lovebirds shed more light on their strenuous circumstances, admitting things moved super fast with Davidson and Hewitt.
Although their inner circle was happy about the news of their pregnancy, they noted that the relationship wasn’t strong enough to survive the difficulty of raising a baby.
“The two of them maybe clashed too much. Having a baby is difficult,” they added. However, some pals of the duo claim their daughter played little to no role in the split.
As reported by The Blast, it was clear for a while that Hewitt and Davidson “weren’t compatible,” said the insider.
