Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are in baby bliss following the arrival of their newborn daughter, Scottie.
“It’s been a whirlwind week, but they are obsessed with their baby girl and over the moon. They welcomed her in New York,” a source close to the couple exclusively tells Us Weekly. “They want to raise her in upstate New York, where they have more privacy, normalcy, and it feels more suburban.”
The insider adds that the quiet nature of being upstate has given Davidson, 31, “a lot of peace.” While the couple are still adjusting to life as a family of three, they make a “good team.”
“They have had their hands full and are still figuring out the parenting thing day by day,” the source shares. “Pete is ecstatic to officially be a dad and has had a smile on his face since she was born. He was emotional when she arrived.”
Hewitt, for her part, is just as ecstatic to be a mom.
“Elsie has been having such a great week with baby Scottie. She’s feeling amazing and is completely in her element, already embracing motherhood in a way that feels natural to her,” the insider explains. “She truly feels she was made for motherhood. They are soaking in every moment and have so much love to give Scottie.”
When Hewitt, 29, had to get her wisdom teeth removed shortly after giving birth, Davidson was by her side taking care of both his girlfriend and daughter.
“He has been so supportive, being there for every moment and making sure she has everything she needs,” the source says. “It was a rough day when Elsie had to have her wisdom teeth removed, but Pete really stepped up in helping any way he could.”
Hewitt announced on Thursday, December 18, that she and Davidson welcomed their daughter nearly one week prior.
“Our perfect angel girl arrived: Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson ♥️,” Hewitt wrote via Instagram alongside several snaps of her and the comedian’s little one. “My best work yet, I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.”
Davidson added his own message to the post sharing, “Wu tang forever.”
Hewitt and Davidson named their daughter Scottie after the Saturday Night Live alum’s late father, Scott Davidson, a firefighter who died during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Pete has previously shared that losing his dad was one of the reasons why he wanted to have a family of his own one day.
“Since my dad died, I was like, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to have a kid.’ And like, I don’t like saying corny s*** — the reasoning was like, ‘I don’t want a kid to ever feel like how I feel right now,’” Pete said during a July 2022 episode of Kevin Hart’s show Hart to Heart. “It wasn’t his fault [that] he passed away. But just to be there so that someone doesn’t have to feel like that. I’m very excited to do that for someone and watch them have what I didn’t.”
