Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have split, just five months after welcoming their daughter Scottie Rose.

According to The Sun, the relationship broke down under the strain of Davidson’s demanding work schedule following baby Scottie’s arrival on 12 December 2025. 

“Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,” an insider told the outlet. 

“It was very hard for him because, obviously, he has to work to make money.”

A separate source confirmed the split happened recently, adding that both Davidson, 32, and Hewitt, 30, are now firmly focused on co-parenting. 

“They are just focusing 100% on Scottie,” the insider said. “Working out the best co-parenting solution is their top priority.”

The news, while not entirely unexpected, still marks a swift and sad end to a relationship that had moved quickly from the start. 

Page Six first reported the pair were dating in March 2025, with sources saying the Saturday Night Live alum was “very happy” to be with someone “very different from” his previous girlfriends. 

The couple went public shortly after, making their debut during a PDA-filled holiday in Palm Beach.

Things moved fast from there. 

Hewitt announced her pregnancy in July 2025 with a typically candid Instagram post, “welp now everyone knows we had s–“, accompanied by ultrasound footage and couple photos. 

A bunny-themed baby shower followed, complete with a very public kiss, before Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson arrived that December.

Earlier this month, sources had already hinted to Page Six that the pair were “navigating relationship struggles” and that it was “unclear” where things were heading. 

Now there’s an answer, even if it isn’t the one either of them would have hoped for.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a reward of $200,000 for information regarding Monica Witt, a defected U.S. Air Force officer, accused of espionage for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The special agent and counterintelligence specialist was charged in 2019 with espionage for allegedly leaking the classified U.S. intelligence information to Iran. The bureau said that the female officer has not been found since defecting in 2013.

Special agent in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office’s Counterintelligence and Cyber Division, Daniel Wierzbicki, said, “The FBI has not forgotten and believes that during this critical moment in Iran’s history, there is someone who knows something about her whereabouts.”

He added, “The FBI wants to hear from you so you can help us apprehend Witt and bring her to justice.”

Witt joined the USAF in 1997 and left in 2008; however, she remained a contractor for the Defence Department until 2010. 

She travelled to Iran to attend a conference aimed at criticising American moral standards.

The FBI accused her of working with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the elite force formed after the revolution of 1979 to expand the country’s influence worldwide.

In addition to Witt, four Iranians were also charged in the same 2019 indictment for conspiracy and identity theft. 

Won’t be long before it’s time for “THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE…” The Oscars are one month from tonight.  And to hear critic Rex Reed tell it, Gary Oldman could very well be a winner for his performance in “Darkest Hour.” There’s plenty more where that came from, as our Mo Rocca found out:

Movie critic Rex Reed has some opinions about this year’s Best Picture Oscar-nominees…

“Call Me By Your Name”?  “Terrific movie,” he said. 

“Dunkirk”? “Hated it!”

“Get Out”?  “Truly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, a complete fraud, that picture. I didn’t care if all the black men are turned into robots.”  [For the record, there are NO robots in “Get Out.”]

And “The Post”? “‘The Post’ is my favorite movie of the year. I think it’s a great movie. You have all these kids making movies today, but they can’t compare to a real pro like Spielberg.”

Rocca asked, “Are you going to watch the Oscars?”

“Oh, I always do. I love to watch the Oscars with a club sandwich in bed.”

…While fondly remembering the A-List Oscar parties of yesteryear, thrown by his friend, the actress Polly Bergen.

“And everybody was there,” said Reed. “One year I watched the Oscars in Polly’s bed with Lucille Ball on one side and Paul Newman on the other.”

Reed was sandwiched between those two stars because there was a time when he was an A-Lister himself. And in the late 1960s and ’70s, his clever opinions made him a fixture on television.

“That’s why I got called back again and again,” he laughed. “That’s why all of these shows asked me back, because people weren’t saying anything. We’re right back in that place right now. Nobody has an opinion.”

But his true love was the movies. “I grew up watching movies because I was studying them. I was losing myself in these movies.”

His father was a supervisor on oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, so Reed went to 13 different schools around the South before high school.

“You were constantly having to make new friends?” asked Rocca.

“Constantly. And when they’re sitting there and the teacher is saying, ‘This is little Rex Reed. He’s the new student. We all want to be nice to him!’ And they would take out their slingshots and finger their slingshots, waiting for recess. No, that doesn’t exactly feed security.”

He got a degree in journalism from Louisiana State University, and dreamed of a life in the big city. “I wanted to go somewhere where people knew things and they served drinks with umbrellas in them, like I saw in Jane Powell movies.”

… So he headed to New York City, where he made a name for himself profiling some very big names: Warren Beatty, playwright Tennessee Williams, and a much-lauded portrait of faded screen siren Ava Gardner. “After it came out, she was quoted as saying, ‘That sonofabitch knows more about me than I do!'”

In Rex Reed’s life, the past is always present, with photographs of celebrities like Natalie Wood. “I really loved Natalie and stayed with her many times,” he said.

Rocca asked, “I was just wondering, do you think Robert Wagner killed her?”

“No!” Reed laughed. “There is no truth to that whatsoever!” 

And there’s Angela Lansbury! (“We’ve been everywhere together”). And here’s Liza Minnelli! (We’ve been through a lot together.) 

Reed was enough of a celebrity himself to be cast in a few movies, including a notorious 1970 sex comedy, “Myra Breckinridge,” starring Raquel Welch.

Rocca said, “If I were really doing my job, I would have watched ‘Myra Breckinridge’ before this interview.”

“No, you’re doing yourself a great favor by supporting your IQ, by not watching ‘Myra Breckinridge,'” Reed replied.

His own review of the experience? “Oh, it was horrible.”

And the film flopped. But it did pay for a 1780 house in Litchfield County, Connecticut — near the road where Marilyn Monroe took walks in hot pants, and not far from artist Alexander Calder, who painted a bathtub for a former owner of Reed’s home. 

Titled “Heaven, Earth and Hell,” it features a serpent wearing red sunglasses. 

Reed, by the way, has never taken a bath in it. “I’m afraid of damaging it. It’s priceless.”

Rocca asked, “How much is this bathtub worth?”

“Well, I was offered a million dollars for it.”

Reed lives here — and in New York’s famed Dakota Apartments — solo.

“I don’t have a wife. I don’t have a boyfriend. I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m not comfortable with all the things that go with it,” he said.

Like? “Well, like telling somebody where you are all the time. I don’t want anybody to ask me, ‘Where were you last night? I tried to reach you with my phone and you didn’t answer.'”

The 79-year-old’s opinions are now published online in the Observer, formerly the New York Observer newspaper, where some of his criticism has come in for plenty of, well, criticism. 

“Oh, I don’t apologize for anything,” he said.

Not even his blistering review of Best Picture nominee “The Shape of Water” [“A loopy, lunkheaded load of drivel”], which confused director Guillermo del Toro with actor Benicio del Toro; and got his country of origin wrong.

“And you referred to Sally Hawkins‘ character, who is mute, as mentally handicapped,” said Rocca.

“I thought she was mentally handicapped,” Reed laughed. “I still think her character was mentally handicapped. She wasn’t cooking with four burners when she was crawling through the toilets.”

Of course, today everyone’s a critic, quite literally, in the age of social media.

Rocca asked, “How long are you gonna keep doing this?”

“Well, I say ‘It’s over’ almost always. I don’t want to be discovered dead in a chair in a dark screening room and have the headlines read, ‘Film critic Rex Reed found dead in ‘Star Wars LXXX.'”

But while Rex Reed’s still got life in him, he’s got lots of opinions. Here are a few: 

“He was drunk all the time.”

“She was terrible and sold millions of records.”

“He was incredibly difficult.”

“She’s a dreadful actress.”

He added, “I should really learn to speak up.” 

“Yeah, you really gotta come out of your shell,” Rocca suggested.
