LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Elsie Hewitt and Pete Davidson have recently made headlines after reports that they split shortly after the birth of their daughter. Hewitt has now spoken publicly for the first time since the breakup. She says she is currently raising her daughter on her own and finding it difficult.

In a TikTok video posted on Sunday, May 14, she said, “I have a baby to take care of... I have to work and make money. I’m doing it on my own, which is hard.” This marks her first public comment following the reported split with Davidson.

Elsie Hewitt says she is raising baby daughter on her own after Pete Davidson split

In a TikTok video posted on Sunday, May 14, Hewitt appeared in a relaxed, oversized T-shirt, lying down while recording. She looked visibly tired as she spoke openly about her daily routine and responsibilities.

“I’m exhausted, okay. Left the house looking like so yesterday. I should have known that was going to happen,” she said. “What I’m thinking about right now is I have a baby to take care of. I also have to work and make money. Noted. Next time I will try to look nicer.”

The video showed Hewitt appearing sleep-deprived and overwhelmed, as she balanced parenting and work. While she did not directly mention the breakup, her comment about “doing it on her own” suggested she is currently managing childcare without support from Davidson.

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt reportedly have no plans to reconcile

Davidson has not made any public statement or commented on the situation so far. According to People, the former couple had reportedly hoped to remain friends and co-parent amicably after separating following the birth of their daughter.

However, recent developments suggest the situation may be more complicated than initially expected. “They are done.” According to the outlet, Davidson and Hewitt tried to make things work behind the scenes, but eventually realized it was better to separate rather than drag things out further.

According to Page Six, the former couple had been dealing with ongoing issues for quite some time before finally deciding to part ways. “They tried working things out but decided it was best to go their separate ways,” the publication reported, citing a source close to the pair.

Representatives for Davidson and Hewitt have not publicly commented on the breakup or reconciliation reports. “There have been problems throughout their relationship, and things are not good between them at all. They haven’t been for a while,” a source shared.
