Elsie Hewitt is keeping it real about the draining realities of solo parenting following her split from Pete Davidson.
“When you finally get screaming baby down for a nap and you exhale and sit with yourself a sec and realize you haven’t breathed for an hour or peed all day," Hewitt, 30, captioned a selfie posted to her Instagram Story on Thursday, May 14. "The silence is deafening.”

Elsie Hewitt said she hadn't breathed or peed all day.
In the photo, the model appeared makeup-free and had a blank expression on her face as she rested with one hand across her forehead, looking exhausted and overwhelmed. She dressed casually in a white T-shirt, with her brown hair pulled back in a ponytail.
The mom-of-one shared another selfie, cropped to show only half her face as she looked off-frame. "I am a zombie," she wrote over the snap.
Elsie Hewitt and Pete Davidson's Split Was Confirmed
Elsie Hewitt called herself a 'zombie' in a candid parenting update.
The update comes one day after multiple outlets confirmed Hewitt and Davidson's split.
Sources claimed issues in their relationship intensified after the model gave birth to their first child, daughter Scottie Rose, on December 12, 2025.
The comedian's heavy work schedule was reportedly an issue and created a wedge in their romance.
"Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born," said the insider. "It was very hard for him because, obviously, he has to work to make money."
