Davidson and Hewitt have been romantically linked since March 2025. In July 2025, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. Scottie Rose was born on Dec. 12, 2025, and she was named after Davidson's father, Scott Matthew Davidson, a New York City firefighter who died while responding to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Dad life is f–king awesome,” Davidson told PEOPLE in a March interview while discussing his new Crocs campaign. "It is exhausting and rewarding and cute. And I'm very lucky because Elsie is a fantastic mom, and I can't stress enough how lucky I am.”
In that same interview, the former Saturday Night Live cast member said he felt more “primal” and protective of Scottie.
"It's funny. It's like I didn't understand this. You're just ready to fight anyone," Davidson said at the time. "It's like, chill out. No one's doing anything to your kid,” Davidson, who recently got Scottie's named tattooed near his ear, continued in March.
“You have this overly protective like…if one paparazzi guy pops out I'm going to f–king beat the living s–t out of him," Davidson continued. "So that's a weird gear because I'm not a fighter guy."
