Hewitt, 29, and Davidson, 32, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, on December 12, 2023. In an earlier post announcing the birth, she expressed her overwhelming love and gratitude for their new addition, referring to Scottie as “our perfect angel girl.”
Postpartum Challenges and Personal Struggles
Days after giving birth, Hewitt revealed she underwent an unexpected medical procedure. In an Instagram Story dated December 18, she shared that she had her wisdom tooth removed while still in the hospital, displaying her swollen face with a bandage. This revelation came after she had previously discussed her struggles with pain during her pregnancy.
In November, Hewitt candidly described her experience of dealing with debilitating pain that she believed was linked to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). She shared on Instagram, “I have tried everything, and it’s only getting worse and I cannot walk,” expressing her desperation for relief. The influencer emphasized her daily suffering, stating, “I am just straight-up suffering and in so much pain every single day.”
Excitement for Parenthood
The couple announced their pregnancy in July 2023, sharing intimate moments through social media. In a post featuring a sonogram and a photo of them together, Hewitt humorously commented, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex.” Davidson addressed his excitement about becoming a father during a July appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “I did it!” he exclaimed. “It’s my dream to be a dad, so I’m so excited.”
Both Hewitt and Davidson have embraced their new roles, with Hewitt expressing her admiration for Davidson’s enthusiasm about parenting. Their journey as new parents has been marked by both joy and challenges, as they navigate the complexities of parenthood together.
