Elsie Hewitt Drops a Subtle Hint About Her Post-Pete Davidson Life

Elsie Hewitt just gave a little life update on TikTok after her split from Pete Davidson, and yes, it was very late-night, very honest, and very much a reminder that comment sections are not created equal.

Elsie checks in from TikTok, not Instagram

On Saturday, May 16, at 9:22 p.m., the 30-year-old model hopped on TikTok while she was in the middle of writing a letter to her 5-month-old daughter, Scottie. She said she has been putting together a whole book of letters for Scottie since before she was born. Cute. Also, that was her tangent; the main point was this:

"TikTok is so much nicer than Instagram."

Elsie said the vibe on TikTok has been way more supportive, adding that her comments there have been overwhelmingly kind compared to what she has gotten on Instagram. She also admitted she feels more like herself on TikTok anyway. She captioned the post, simply: "Love u guys."

Where things stand with Pete

Earlier that same Saturday, Us Weekly confirmed that Elsie and Pete, 32, have broken up. The timing is tough: the split comes five months after they welcomed their daughter late last year.

According to the outlet, they are still working through the logistics of the breakup. They reportedly tried to make the relationship work, but there were some obvious stressors, including trying to co-parent a newborn when they had not known each other that long to begin with. The priority now is the baby: both have adjusted their schedules around Scottie. As for a reconciliation, a source called it very unlikely. Pete has not publicly commented on the breakup.

How we got here

• March 2025: Pete Davidson (yep, the Saturday Night Live alum) and Elsie Hewitt are first linked romantically.
• July 2025: Four months later, they confirm they are expecting a baby.
• December 2025: Their daughter, Scottie Rose, is born.
• January 2026: Pete gushes to Us about fatherhood, calling it the best kind of perspective shift. Work and public perception matter less; the big question becomes how long he can be away and whether any gig is worth the time away from Scottie.
• January 2026: He also raves about Elsie as a mom, saying he always knew she would be great — caring, on top of everything, and somehow equipped with baby-calming tricks from day one.
• May 16, 2026: Their split is confirmed. That night, Elsie posts her TikTok at 9:22 p.m., thanking followers for the support.

The read-between-the-lines version

Short relationship, big life change, two busy careers — that combo rarely makes anything easy. The silver lining is that both are clearly focused on Scottie right now, and Elsie seems to have found a corner of the internet that is not roasting her for existing. Small wins count when everything else is in flux.
