An insider has exclusively pulled back the curtain on Pete Davidson’s relationship issues with Elsie Hewitt, the mother of his five-month-old daughter Scottie Rose.

When Davidson and Hewitt went public last March and announced her pregnancy a month later, his diehard fans clung to hopes that he had placed his turbulent past behind him and was settling down to the comforts of home and hearth.

Gone was the high-octane tumult of his dating history with celebrities like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Kate Beckinsale and Kaia Gerber.

He and Hewitt welcomed his baby in December and, as he pivoted to fatherhood, he spent a rumored $200,000 removing his prodigious sprawl of tattoos.

But whispers have recently been circulating of trouble brewing between the couple – and now, the heartbreaking truth has come to light.

The Daily Mail can lay bare the demons from Davidson’s past that have pursued him into the present, the way Hewitt’s pregnancy upended their dynamic and the friends who have begun harboring fears the couple have reached ‘the point of no return.’

The Daily Mail has contacted Davidson’s representatives for comment. 

An insider has exclusively pulled back the curtain on Pete Davidson’s relationship troubles with Elsie Hewitt, the mother of his five-month-old daughter Scottie Rose 

When Davidson and Hewitt went public last March and announced her pregnancy a month later, his longtime fans clung to hopes that he had placed his turbulent past behind him 

In public, Davidson has painted a rosy portrait of his household, gushing that ‘Dad life is f***ing awesome’ and that Hewitt is ‘a fantastic mom,’ to People.

However a source has now told the Daily Mail: ‘Not one of Pete’s friends is surprised that there are relationship issues with him and Elsie.’

The insider explained: ‘This is what he ends up doing always. She was also warned well ahead of time in their relationship to be careful with him, because Pete loves to self-sabotage a good thing.’

Davidson’s ‘insecurities are such a crutch for him in his life that he uses humor to make sense of it all,’ the source elaborated.

‘Making him the funny guy that all the girls want to fix, when he just might be unfixable. He rushes into a relationship, it’s all hot and heavy and exciting and before the person he’s dating knows it, they are in an intense all or nothing relationship not knowing how to continue it or stay in it with that continued intensity.’

The insider added: ‘And now they are parents, which they love, but the pregnancy was unplanned and their dynamic immediately changed when she became pregnant, and they are trying to figure out the next steps as they want to be together for their kid, but it just might not be their endgame.’

Clarifying the status of their relationship, the Daily Mail’s source said Hewitt and Davidson are not ‘fully broken up, but it is absolutely leading to it.’

Davidson, whose father Scott lost his life as a fireman on 9/11, ‘doesn’t want the relationship to end because he wants his daughter to have the luxury of having a complete family, something he wasn’t afforded himself,’ the source said.

He and Hewitt welcomed his baby in December and, as he pivoted to fatherhood, he spent a reported $200,000 removing his famously prodigious sprawl of tattoos

Hewitt meanwhile ‘would like that to happen as well, but dealing with Pete can be very overbearing,’ the insider acknowledged.

‘They don’t know if they want to do counseling, but they are going to try to figure out something and putting it out there that there are actual problems in the relationship may be the first thing to make or break their relationship. 

‘Whether or not it will continue is something we will know relatively quickly. Many expect that they are at the point of no return.’

As recently as January, Davidson was fondly floating the prospect of marrying Hewitt and giving baby Scottie a sibling, via Us Weekly. 

‘We want her to have a friend, for sure,’ said the onetime Saturday Night Live funnyman. ‘We love the idea of her being a big sister.’ 

Hewitt concurred: ‘The idea of making another one and making a sibling is something I’ve already been like: “I want to do it again.” They’re so tiny when they come out, and they grow so fast. It’s crazy.’
