NEW YORK — Comedian Pete Davidson and model-actress Elsie Hewitt on Thursday announced the birth of their daughter.

The couple had said in July they were expecting their first baby.

Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson was born last week, the pair said in a social media post.

“Our perfect angel girl arrived 12/12/2025,” reads an Instagram post from Hewitt, 29. “My best work yet, i am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.”

“Wu Tang forever,” the Staten Island native and “Saturday Night Live” alum is attributed as saying.

The post includes several photos of the couple and their baby girl at home and in the hospital.

Scottie is named after Davidson’s late father, Scott Matthew Davidson, a New York City firefighter who died during the al-Qaida terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, when Pete was 7 years old. Rose is Hewitt’s middle name.

 

Davidson told E! News in July he felt “very lucky and very, very happy” about becoming a dad, and that he was eager to “take care of something and show it the childhood I didn’t have.”

“I assume you just try to give them what you didn’t have,” he explained, “and what you didn’t like, not do it.”

He added that “SNL” pals like Adam Sandler and Colin Jost had given him a lot of encouragement and advice about fatherhood.

Davidson’s former castmate Cecily Strong also gave birth to a daughter this year.

Last month, Hewitt shared photos from their baby shower attended by friends and family.

The freshly minted parents got together earlier this year following Davidson’s high-profile relationships with celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Emily Ratajkowski.
