Exclusive: Pete Davidson gives rare parenting praise to Elsie Hewitt 6 months after split
Praise for Scottie’s costume
Davidson spoke about co-parenting with Hewitt while attending the opening celebration for The Corner Store at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The event took place last Friday, following his Las Vegas show.
Their daughter, Scottie, wore a costume inspired by Tony Soprano for Halloween. Davidson said they both thought the idea was good, and added that Hewitt made the look especially cool.
A shared approach to parenting
In a joint statement at the time, the pair said they were working together and that Scottie’s well-being remained their priority. Davidson, 32, also said being a father to a girl had made him softer and that he could cry at anything.

The Corner Store’s opening brought together entertainers including Ludacris, Russell Westbrook, Keegan-Michael Key and Jonathan Cheban. Drew Taggart and Alex Pall of The Chainsmokers were also there, along with hospitality figures Andrew Sasson, Jason Strauss and Scott Sartiano.
Ludacris performed “Get Back” at about 9:30 p.m., before a DJ took over. The venue, designed by Rockwell Group, includes a martini room with a green onyx bar, an expanded butcher’s counter and a dining room inspired by vintage train cars.
