New York, December 19, 2025 – Comedian Pete Davidson has long been known for his often-wry humor, but beyond his career, a strong family foundation has been a constant presence. Recent developments reveal a deeper look into Davidson’s immediate family, including his mother, sister, and burgeoning family with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt.
Davidson’s familial ties were forged following the tragic death of his father, Scott Davidson, a New York City firefighter, on September 11, 2001. The loss profoundly impacted Davidson, who was seven years old at the time. He credits his mother, Amy Waters, and sister, Casey Davidson, with providing a critical support system.
“I made a tribute to my mom and dad, and I got to face these things I’d been avoiding for a really long time head-on,” Davidson stated at the time of the release of his 2020 film, *The King of Staten Island*, a project heavily influenced by his family’s experiences. “I really wanted this to be cleansing for me. I feel like I got to speak about it in the biggest way possible and I could get my story out there, so I feel like now, I can let it go.”
Amy Waters remains a fixture in Davidson’s life. Following a 2018 split with Ariana Grande, Davidson moved in with his mother and sister, establishing a substantial basement space within their Staten Island home. Despite moving out of the primary residence in April 2021, the family has continued to maintain a close relationship, appearing together in a Smartwater commercial (2023) and attending a Brooklyn Nets game in November 2024.
Scott Davidson, a firefighter with Ladder Company 118, was honored as a hero during the September 11th attacks, tragically perishing alongside his fellow firefighters. The trauma of his loss significantly affected Davidson, who experienced behavioral issues in school and struggled with suicidal thoughts, eventually channeling his pain into stand-up comedy.
Casey Davidson, three years younger than Pete, currently works as a PA-C at Lenox Hill Neurosurgery, documented on her Instagram account. She has been a visible presence in Davidson’s life, frequently appearing in his social media posts, notably celebrating the completion of *The King of Staten Island*.
Recently, Davidson’s life has taken another significant turn with the arrival of his first child, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, born on December 12, 2025, with his partner Elsie Hewitt. Hewitt announced the pregnancy via Instagram, and the couple quickly shared photographs of their newborn daughter.
The family circle continues to expand, with Elsie Hewitt and Davidson showcasing their joy and gratitude for this new chapter.
