In a series of intimate and tender Instagram posts, Pete Davidson and his girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt, introduced the world to their newborn daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, born on December 12, 2025. The announcement marks a deeply personal milestone for the comedian, who has often spoken about his dream of becoming a father.

The photos, shared on December 18, painted a heartfelt picture of the couple’s first days with their daughter. One image captures the raw, emotional moment just after birth, with Elsie cradling Scottie on her chest as Pete leans in for a gentle kiss. Another shows a peaceful scene at home, with Elsie holding the baby by a snow-framed window. The collection also included playful touches, like Scottie asleep next to a miniature soy sauce bottle for scale, and a close-up of her tiny hand gripping an adult finger.

Fans were quick to note the significance of the name. Scottie appears to be a tribute to Pete’s late father, Scott Davidson, a firefighter who died during the 9/11 attacks when Pete was just seven years old. The meaningful choice resonated deeply with followers, with one commenting, “I’m crying named after his Dad. Beautiful.”

This new chapter comes after the couple’s joyful pregnancy announcement in July 2025, which featured playful and serene photos of them in a sun-drenched field. In interviews following that news, Pete shared his heartfelt excitement. “If anybody who knows me, it’s my dream to be a dad,” he told Jimmy Fallon. He later elaborated to E! News, expressing his desire to provide the caring upbringing he felt he missed, simply stating he hopes to “not do” the things he didn’t like from his own childhood.

He also shared that he’s received encouragement and advice from his Saturday Night Live circle, including fellow dads Adam Sandler and Colin Jost. “It’s been really nice that everyone’s super excited,” Pete said.

While embracing parenthood, the couple’s future looks bright. A source told People in October that marriage is in the plans, noting, “There will be an engagement at some point but they’re not in a rush.” For now, the focus is squarely on their “perfect angel girl,” Scottie Rose, and the new life they’ve begun as a family of three.
