Pete Davidson is now a father. The former Saturday Night Live star has a new look to go with his new life. His girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt, shared photos of him holding their new baby girl. Her name is Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson. In the photo, Pete is not wearing a shirt. You can see that his many tattoos are almost gone.
Pete and Elsie started dating in early 2025. They had their first child on December 12, 2025. Pete used to have more than 200 tattoos on his arms and chest. Now, the ink is very light and hard to see. Fans say it looks like a “clean slate” for him as he starts his life as a dad.
A Meaningful Tribute: Introducing Scottie Rose
The baby’s name is very special. Elsie said on social media that they named her Scottie to honor Pete’s father, Scott. Pete’s father was a firefighter in New York City. He died during the September 11 attacks.
Pete was only seven years old when his father died. This loss has been a big part of his life and his comedy. By naming his daughter after his father, Pete is honoring his hero. The middle name, Rose, comes from Elsie’s middle name. It is a mix of both families.
The Painful Path to a “Clean Slate”
Pete started removing his tattoos in 2020. He had many different tattoos, including some of famous people and former girlfriends. It took too much time for makeup artists to cover them up when he acted in movies. He decided it was easier to just get them removed.
Getting tattoos removed is not easy. Pete said it is very painful. He joked that it feels like being poked with a “hot needle.” Even though it hurt, the new photos show that it worked. Most of his skin now looks clear.

Fatherhood and Personal Transformation
Pete has changed a lot over the years. He has been honest about his mental health and his past. He always said that he really wanted to be a father. In 2025, he said that many of his old tattoos were things he did without thinking. He feels like he has grown up now.
Holding his daughter without all the dark ink shows how much his life has changed. He lives in New York with Elsie and the baby. He even has a “dad van” with a place to warm baby bottles. Pete is ready to stop the party lifestyle and focus on being a good dad.
