Insiders Reveal How Pete Davidson & Elsie Hewitt Are Handling Parenthood With Baby Scottie

Since welcoming their baby girl Scottie last week, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are embracing life as new parents! Insiders reveal how the couple are handling the first moments with their newborn daughter amid a “whirlwind” first week.

“It’s been a whirlwind week, but they are obsessed with their baby girl and over the moon,” a source close to the couple told Us Weekly. The insider revealed the baby was born in New York. “They want to raise her in upstate New York, where they have more privacy, normalcy, and it feels more suburban,” the source added.

The insider said that the couple makes a “good team” raising their daughter together. “They have had their hands full and are still figuring out the parenting thing day by day,” the source continued. “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.”

Aww! As for Hewitt, she has stepped into the role of motherhood with ease. “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 explained. “She truly feels she was made for motherhood. They are soaking in every moment and have so much love to give Scottie.”

Hewitt announced the birth of their baby on Dec. 18, writing, “Our perfect angel girl arrived: Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson ♥️ My best work yet, I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.”

Shortly after giving birth, Hewitt had to have surgery to have her wisdom teeth removed, which the SNL alum was fully supportive of. “He has been so supportive, being there for every moment and making sure she has everything she needs,” the source told Us Weekly. “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.”

Another insider told PEOPLE, “Elsie is doing really well now and feeling so much better since having the tooth taken care of. It was an unexpected hiccup right after the delivery, but she handled it like a champ and has been focused on resting and soaking in these first moments with the baby.”

The source added that Hewitt and Davidson are figuring out their footing as new parents. “Being home has been really special for them,” the source said. “They’re settling into a rhythm, taking everything day by day and just enjoying getting to know their daughter. It’s been a lot of firsts, but it’s a really happy, exciting time for both of them.”

 “They’ve very much in it together,” the insider added. “They’ve both learning as they go, supporting each other and feeling grateful as they step into this new chapter as parents.”
