Sci-fi has taken audiences to outer space, alternate universes, dystopian futures, and post-apocalyptic wastelands. The genre has also pushed real scientific theories to their limits, exploring what could happen when technology, time travel, or artificial intelligence are toyed with in the wrong hands. But beyond all the elaborate displays and mind-bending concepts, sci-fi can also be deeply human.

Some of sci-fi’s most thought-provoking shows are not about saving the galaxy, but about relationships, grief, identity, loneliness, and the emotional consequences of living in an increasingly modern world. That is where soft sci-fi comes in with their stories, although some gems have gone underappreciated over the years in the sci-fi discourse. Here are the near-perfect soft sci-fi shows that no one remembers today.

‘Warehouse 13’ (2009–2014)

Warehouse 13 is home to a bunch of unusual paraphernalia: Bruce Lee‘s punching bag, W.C. Fields‘ juggling balls, and even the aspiring bottle of Benjamin Franklin. After saving the President’s life, Secret Service agents Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) and Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) are assigned to the secretive Warehouse 13 in South Dakota.

Fans of The X-Files and Raiders of the Lost Ark will get a kick out of Warehouse 13. It’s a quirky take on stuffy government bureaus, and the investigations are nothing short of adventurous. But the true beating heart of the show is the cast itself, as the agents share mismatched yet adorkable energy reminiscent of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

‘Soulmates’ (2020)

Set 15 years in the future, Soulmates takes place in a world where dating is made easier thanks to a company called Soul Connex. Supposedly, they have developed a test that can identify whether a person is biologically destined to love most with 100% accuracy. Each standalone episode follows the people whose lives are changed after taking the test.

Dating can be a hassle these days, and conveniences like online dating promise a surefire way of finding “the one” by matching people based on their preferences. However, Soulmates challenges whether a man-made contraption can truly determine something as intangible as love. Two people might be compatible on paper, but the real test of true love is time.

‘Tales from the Loop’ (2020)

Image via Prime Video

Referred to as the anti-Black Mirror, the anthology Tales from the Loop follows “The Loop,” an underground facility stationed beneath Mercer, Ohio. Its scientists are tasked with testing out the usual sci-fi phenomena, from time travel and alternate realities, to body-swapping and antigravity. Instead of a single POV, Tales from the Loop is told from a bunch of interconnected human stories.

Although the technological development itself is intriguing, Tales from the Loop doesn’t go too deep into its mechanics, instead focusing more on the lingering feelings heightened by these inventions. No matter how advanced the facility is, human emotions remain the same. A leap through time becomes a moment of reflection on the past, while two friends learn about each other’s true lives through body-swapping.

‘Ascension’ (2014)

Set aboard a massive generation ship launched during the Cold War, Ascension follows the descendants of 600 volunteers traveling to colonize a distant planet and preserve humanity. 51 years into the century-long mission, a shocking murder occurs on the ship — the very first since the Ascension launched into space.

There’s a certain paranoia that comes from being in a locked room. But being aboard a floating spaceship in the middle of outer space is another level of claustrophobia. Apart from the murder mystery — which risks everything the mission has worked hard for — Ascension slowly reveals the decline of humanity when personal space is no longer afforded in such conditions.

‘Constellation’ (2024)

After a collision aboard the International Space Station kills one astronaut and cripples the crew’s escape systems, Swedish ESA astronaut Jo Ericsson (Noomi Rapace) is left behind to repair a damaged Soyuz module alone. She eventually returns to Earth with her crewmate’s body, but she has a difficult time remembering things, as if her mind and body are still stuck in outer space.

Trauma is a touchy and nuanced subject. Although Constellation is rooted in quantum mechanics and parallel universes, it doesn’t take an astronaut to understand Jo’s disorientation after the tragedy. The inconsistencies in her life reflect how someone struggles to piece together reality while still being tethered to the past, highlighting the show’s ability to explore motherhood, grief, and memory.

‘Eureka’ (2006–2012)

Eureka is set in a secret high-tech town in Oregon inhabited by brilliant scientists and operated by Global Dynamics under the U.S. Department of Defense. When a failed experiment incapacitates the town sheriff, U.S. Marshal Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) unexpectedly takes the role. Though surrounded by geniuses, Carter relies on his practical instincts, people skills, and determination to keep Eureka safe from scientific disasters.

Eureka is a charming, small-town, case-of-the-week show that is lighthearted enough for a casual watch, but still tickles your brain with all the science behind it. Although the people who work there are military-trained deputies or brilliant engineers, what really makes them shine are their oddball personalities. The best part is that these differences are celebrated in Eureka.

‘Continuum’ (2012–2015)

Continuum follows Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), a police officer from 65 years in the future who becomes stranded in present-day Vancouver alongside the ruthless terrorist group Liber8. Desperate to return home, Kiera teams up with teenage tech genius Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen), using her futuristic CMR technology to track the criminals before they alter history and reshape the future she came from.

Continuum is a commentary on systemic issues, which are presented as part of a society that certain organizations believe is ultimately for the greater good. Because of this moral ambiguity, viewers are pushed to question whether these actions are truly right or wrong. This also forces Kiera to make difficult choices, as she becomes increasingly torn between preserving her timeline and adapting to the past.

‘Awake’ (2012)

It’s hard enough to solve a crime in one lifetime, let alone two. Awake follows detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) after a tragic car accident splits his life into two realities: one where his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) survives, and his son Rex (Dylan Minnette) dies, and another where Rex lives while Hannah is gone. As Michael solves different cases in each world with separate partners and therapists, he begins to uncover the truth behind the crash.

Although the alternate reality premise is pure sci-fi, Awake follows a familiar procedural format that is surprisingly easy to digest. That does not lessen the surrealism of constantly shifting between two realities and using clues from one timeline to solve crimes in the other. With family at the heart of the conflict, Michael ultimately finds himself trying to protect the fragments of two separate lives at once.

‘Dispatches from Elsewhere’ (2020)

Say goodbye to existential crisis in Dispatches from Elsewhere. Four lonely strangers — all of whom are disconnected from their lives — get caught up in a random citywide puzzle hidden in plain sight. Through cryptic clues and surreal “Dispatches from Elsewhere” missions, the group is pulled into a strange underground game that changes the way they see themselves.

Featuring an alternate reality game (ARG) as its central driving force, Dispatches from Elsewhere keeps its story intriguing through puzzles, psychological illusions, and strange coincidences. At the same time, the series is ultimately about people searching for meaning and human connection in their lives. Instead of facing their loneliness on their own, they discover they can at least be lonely together.

‘Night Sky’ (2022)

The last people you would expect to guard a high-tech portal to outer space are an elderly couple battling old age and illness. Night Sky follows Franklin (J. K. Simmons) and Irene York (Sissy Spacek), who secretly use a hidden chamber beneath their shed to visit a mysterious deserted planet. Things get out of hand when an injured stranger suddenly shows up out of nowwhere.

Instead of genius scientists or tech-savvy youngsters, Night Sky takes a unique approach by putting elders like Franklin and Irene in the spotlight. The two are ordinary people grappling with aging, and the last thing they should be dealing with is an intergalactic fugitive on the run. Yet what they lack in mobility and technical knowledge, they make up for with warmth and compassion, which become their greatest strengths.

Nicole Kidman and Deborra-Lee Furness are reportedly leaning on each other as they navigate life after heartbreaking relationship changes.

The longtime friends have grown even closer following their respective splits from Keith Urban and Hugh Jackman, with insiders claiming the actresses have quietly formed a support system behind the scenes while emotions surrounding the very public breakups continue to linger across Hollywood circles.

For decades, Nicole Kidman and Deborra-Lee Furness shared a close friendship within Hollywood. But according to new reports, their bond deepened after both women experienced painful shifts in their personal lives.

Furness confirmed her separation from Hugh Jackman in 2023, ending one of Hollywood’s longest-running marriages. Two years later, rumors surrounding trouble in Kidman’s marriage to Keith Urban also began making headlines.

Sources now claim the actresses have been leaning heavily on each other during the emotional fallout.

An insider told Woman’s Day magazine, “Nicole’s loyalty has to be with Deb as she’s been a shoulder for her many times throughout the past three years.”

The source added that “The long–time friends have formed their own first wives club.”

The actresses reportedly understand each other in ways very few people around them can, especially after dealing with highly publicized relationship struggles under intense public scrutiny.

Nicole Kidman Distanced Herself From Hugh Jackman

The situation reportedly became even more complicated earlier this month during the Met Gala, where Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster appeared publicly together as a couple.

According to reports, the appearance left Deborra-Lee Furness deeply emotional, especially as the romance became one of the most talked-about moments of the night.

Kidman, who previously worked closely with Jackman in Baz Luhrmann’s 2008 film “Australia,” is now said to be firmly standing by Furness despite her long friendship with the actor.

“Nicole is firmly Team Deb,” an insider told Rob Shuter of “Naughty But Nice.”

The source continued, “She believes Deb was deeply hurt by how everything unfolded. Nicole isn’t interested in pretending otherwise just because Hugh showed up with a new woman on his arm.”

Insiders claimed Kidman intentionally kept some distance from Jackman and Foster during the event out of respect for her longtime friend.

The emotional situation reportedly remains delicate, especially because Jackman and Kidman were once considered extremely close within Hollywood circles.

Nicole Kidman Is Helping Deborra-Lee Furness Rebuild Confidence

Friends close to the actresses believe Kidman has made it a personal mission to help Furness regain confidence following the difficult split.

According to insiders, Kidman’s own experience navigating a painful public breakup has made her especially protective of her friend.

“She can’t bear to see her dear friend suffer any more than she has to. She’s doing everything she can to get Deb back in charge,” one source explained.

The insider also praised the actress for how she handled her own divorce, saying, “There’s no doubt Nicole took complete control of her divorce and came out of it triumphantly.”

Those close to the actresses claim Kidman has encouraged Furness to enjoy life again by attending events, reconnecting socially, and stepping back into spaces she may have avoided during the heartbreak.

Reports also suggest Kidman’s glamorous post-divorce image and growing confidence have inspired Furness during a difficult period in her life.

The actress has recently sparked romance rumors of her own after appearing alongside Simon Baker, fueling speculation that she may already be easing back into the dating world herself.

Friendship Became Their Safe Space

According to insiders, the friendship between the actresses has become one of the few places where both women can openly discuss the emotional weight of their situations without judgment.

Sources claim the pair frequently check in on each other while adjusting to their new realities after years spent in high-profile marriages.

“They’re leaning on each other and with Nicole already booting up her dating life, it’s hard for Deb to not feel encouraged,” the insider shared.

The source added, “She’s still nervous about taking that leap, but Nicole’s one of the key friends in her life helping her take that step.”

While Deborra-Lee Furness reportedly remains cautious about moving forward romantically, insiders believe Nicole Kidman’s support has helped her slowly regain optimism about the future.

Their friendship reportedly stretches far beyond Hollywood appearances and red carpet moments, with both women prioritizing loyalty and emotional support behind closed doors.

Hugh Jackman Situation Still Feels Too Raw

Despite hopes that tensions may eventually ease, insiders claim emotions surrounding Hugh Jackman’s new relationship are still fresh for Deborra-Lee Furness.

According to reports, Nicole Kidman understands why her friend remains uncomfortable with the situation and has no plans to pressure her into reconnecting too quickly.

“She’s not ready to start playing nice with Hugh’s new girlfriend. Not yet anyway. It’s still too raw and way too soon,” the insider explained.

Still, sources say Kidman quietly hopes things between Furness and Jackman may improve over time.

“But she is hoping that things between Deb and Hugh will settle down over time and she doesn’t have to exclude him from her world for too long,” the insider added.

For now, however, there are still clear emotional boundaries. Sources insist Kidman has no interest in rushing back into socializing with Jackman and Foster publicly anytime soon, especially while Furness continues healing from the breakup.

The Stranger snuck onto Netflix with minimal fanfare the same way it stalks its way into viewers’ minds, leaving lingering chills and a lasting impression well after the credits roll. This serial killer movie is based on a true story, where a person of interest (named Henry Teague in the film and played by Sean Harris) was suspected of abducting a child and the Australian police force launched a sting operation to coax out a confession. The true story is horrifying enough, but director Thomas M. Wright’s film is a masterclass in dread, allowing the creeping feeling to pervade each element of the narrative, atmosphere and characters. Joel Edgerton also joins the cast as undercover cop Mark, who works closely with Henry, delivering a haunting performance that adds to how a crime can impact anyone associated with it.

‘The Stranger’ Is Based on a True Story

Everything about The Stranger grips you in a cocoon of dread, even from the very beginning where the words “based on a true story” flash across a black screen. It is inspired by a real Australian sting operation that occurred during an 8-year manhunt for Brett Peter Cowan, who was investigated for abducting and murdering 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe (James Liston in the film). As Edgerton told The Sydney Morning Herald, the names of everyone had been changed to protect their identities, not even meeting with the real undercover cop “because [they] were investigating the truth, taking that truth and telling a fictionalized version of it, which is about protecting everyone involved.”

Mark’s real counterpart did indeed befriend the suspect and drew him into a fake crime ring that the police set-up in hopes of recording a confession, which is legal and admissible in court in Australia. The film is based on a book that detailed the covert operation, The Sting: The Undercover Operation That Caught Daniel Morcombe’s Killer by crime reporter Kate Kyriacou, but much of the story is fictionalized. This allows The Stranger to convey the true dread that eclipsed every part of the investigation, made more effective by Wright’s strong direction. The film flashes between Mark and Henry working together and the background police work, constantly reminding us that Henry, who comes off as a regular albeit strange man, is actually far more sinister underneath.

Dread Creeps Into the Atmosphere of ‘The Stranger’

We are constantly reminded of Mark’s goal and await the confession, creating an impending sense of doom to the friendship and the ordeal. When we first meet Henry, he is meeting a stranger on the bus who introduces him to Mark and offers him a job in this elusive crime enterprise. Harris masters the vacant stare of a haunted man and frequently mutters he “doesn’t do violence,” creating an eerie screen presence that unwillingly draws our eyes to him. As the film and the central “friendship” progress, Harris pairs his enigmatic air with convulsions of mania, sending waves of shock through us as he disrupts the quiet gloom of the film.

Dim lighting strains our eyes throughout the film, interrupted mainly by cold and harsh scenes of the police work, helmed by Jada Alberts as the lead detective. The darkness makes the events feel corrupt and underhanded, as if it is corroding the film from the inside, burdened by the weight of its material. Combined with the creeping score, each narrative beat leaves us deeply unsettled. Meanwhile, the white lights of the police scenes and Alberts’ somber narration act as a guiding truth and exposition that reminds us of our purpose, inducting us into the investigation too.

Edgerton Plays a Haunted Undercover Cop in ‘The Stranger’

The dread curdled up by these events leaves no one untouched, especially Mark, who has to deal with the cost of a secret identity and the impact Henry’s darkness has on him. Edgerton’s heavy performance portrays the burden of this traumatic kind of work, as he keeps his sentences short and his gaze is often adrift when not undercover. Even the disguise aspect is disturbing, as he sports the rugged beard and hunched demeanor that mirrors Henry, allowing the similarities to subliminally connect them. This is made even more disconcerting through the innocuous scenes of Mark with his son, reminding us of the inner turmoil he must feel — he is trying to befriend and identify with a suspected child killer.

Wright assiduously explores Mark’s inner conflicts with dream sequences that are woven seamlessly into the narrative. He is frequently woken up by the face of Henry pervading his dreams, with one distinct nightmare tapping into his paternal love, where Henry sits serenely at the base of his son’s bed. Mark’s fears, uncertainties and the undulating pressure placed on him are manifested in these doom-laden scenes, building the inescapable dread as the consequences of this sting operation claim Mark, Henry, police officers and us in its dark grip.

Mandy Moore is getting real about the “upsetting” drama that occurred between her and fellow celebrity, Ashley Tisdale. Speaking with Andy Cohen on his radio show, “Radio Andy,” the “This Is Us” star said that the feud between her and the Disney Channel alum cut her “to the core” because it painted her in a negative light.

For those who may be unfamiliar, Tisdale wrote in January 2026 for The Cut about leaving her “toxic” mom group, claiming the group of celebrity moms intentionally left her out of hangouts and group events.

While Tisdale didn’t name names, the internet concluded she was referring to Duff, Moore, and other celebs, including Meghan Trainor. “I was starting to feel frozen out of the group, noticing every way that they seemed to exclude me,” Tisdale wrote in her essay.

She eventually said that she chose to leave the group, but not before sending a final text, which read, “This is too high school for me, and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”

During Mooe’s chat with Cohen, she seemed to confirm that the essay was about her, calling the public letter “very upsetting.”

Moore Said It Was ‘Wild’ For Ashley Tisdale To Speak So Publicly About Their Circle Of Friends

“It’s wild to have anybody talk about your life, and I know Hilary [Duff] has sort of mentioned this too,” Moore said. “It’s like we both have grown up in this business and had people dissect who we are and the choices we make and all of that, but this was something altogether different and decidedly way more upsetting.”

She added, “It just cuts to the core.”

For Moore, she didn’t seem too worried about what Tisdale said, but more so about how it would shape people’s thoughts about her.

“The most important thing in my life is being a kind person and like that legacy of kindness, and anyone even insinuating that that might not be the case, and with the company that I choose to keep, is very upsetting,” she said. I’d say that was the biggest takeaway, sort of the shock of like, ‘Wow.’”

Moore Says She Wouldn’t Have Handled The Situation The Same Way Ashley Tisdale Did

As the conversation continued, Moore said that while she’s not fond of confrontation, she would’ve found a different way to handle her issues with a friend.

“It’s not always like the most comfortable of situations, but I think that’s where I sort of differed in feeling like I wouldn’t have handled the situation this way,” she said.

Continuing, Moore said that another reason her fallout with Tisdale hurt was that it reinforced stereotypes about female friend groups.

“… it just sort of it perpetuates this silly trope that women can’t be supportive of one another and that we’re inherently petty and that we’re inherently out to one-up each other, and I have not felt that one iota since becoming a parent,” she said.

Duff Said She’s Dealt With Friendship Fallouts Before

Duff also spoke out about the drama with her Disney peer, according to a previous report from The Blast, saying that she was used to dealing with issues like this.

“I mean, this is not new for me,” she said. “I’ve had this since I was maybe 15 and starting to get followed around by paparazzi.”

Before that, Duff spoke with Jake Shane on his podcast, “Therapuss,” and said that she’s developed stellar discernment over the years regarding friends.

“I’ve always had a really good gauge of people. I think it’s, like, a little talent that I have. I have really good friends, and it doesn’t take me long to figure someone out or just figure out that someone’s not for me,” Duff said.

Duff Has Had To Cleanse Her Friendship Cirlce In The Past

For Duff, cleansing her friendship circle is essential to her well-being. She said that she’s had to “edit” her group in the past, adding that navigating friendships after arguments can be “overwhelming.”

“I just always want my side of the street to be clean. You know what I mean? I don’t want to make anyone feel bad by my actions. I’d rather have a conversation about it,” she said.

Taking royal photos sounds fancy, but the British family decided to do it differently this time around.

Style aside, the curve-skimming dress is stretchy and lightweight, with just enough structure to hug you in the right places. And no, it doesn’t squeeze. You might not even need shapewear, thanks to tummy ruching that masterfully smoothes the midsection. It’s also completely opaque, so there won’t be any surprise sheerness when you walk past a window.

One shopper said this sophisticated dress is suited for semi-formal events, dinners, date nights and casual cocktail settings. They wrote, “The asymmetrical neckline gives it a modern look, and the ruching does a great job of smoothing and accentuating curves without feeling overly tight. The fabric has a good amount of stretch, which makes it easy to wear for several hours without feeling restricted, even though it’s slim-fitted and bodycon.”

The asymmetrical style is having a moment, and it’s easy to see why. It’s both timeless yet modern, sexy yet modest and perfect for literally any occasion. Whether you’re tall, petite, curvy or boxy, this dress flatters across the board. Add chic mules, a sparkly bag and a swipe of lipstick and you’re basically a big-time actress.

Pete Davidson may be saying goodbye to Staten Island, but according to the people who lived around him, the comedian is leaving behind a pretty stellar reputation. Months after selling his luxury waterfront condo, Davidson’s former neighbors are speaking out, revealing that the “Saturday Night Live” alum was far from your typical celebrity resident.

Christopher Campbell, president of the condo board at Davidson’s former building, recently praised the comedian for being respectful, approachable, and surprisingly down-to-earth.

“He was polite, he was nice to everyone,” Campbell told SILive.com. “If he’s on the elevator and he doesn’t know the person, he would introduce himself, and people just thought of him as their neighbor.”

Campbell, who lived near Davidson for years at the Accolade Condominium at 90 Bay Street Landing in Staten Island’s St. George neighborhood, said the comedian always made an effort to be considerate despite his fame.

Davidson Tried To Keep Kim Kardashian’s Visits Low-Key

According to Campbell, Davidson even went out of his way to avoid causing headaches for neighbors when famous guests came by, including ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian. “When he was dating [Kim Kardashian], she would come here… and he thought of his neighbors, and he didn’t want to have an entourage blocking the front entrance, so he would take the side door to be polite,” Campbell recalled.

The condo board president also shared that Davidson frequently hosted celebrity friends, turning the building into an unexpected hotspot. “He used to bring his celebrity friends, so you never know who you’re going to meet in the building,” Campbell said. “Miley Cyrus has been here, Kid Cudi, Machine Gun Kelly.”

Pete Davidson Had A Sweet Response To Late-Night Fan Encounter

One story in particular stood out to Campbell. Shortly after moving into the building, Davidson reportedly had a young fan repeatedly ringing his doorbell late at night. “There was a young girl that was ringing his doorbell at like one o’clock in the morning, and I’m the president in the building,” Campbell explained.

After offering to intervene, Campbell said Davidson handled the situation with kindness. “So I said, ‘Well, what do you want to do? You want me to speak to the mother?’” Campbell recalled. “He said, ‘Nah, it’s just a young girl, she’s excited, she’ll realize I’m just Pete,’ and that’s exactly what happened.”

Campbell added, “He had such a nice way about him.”

Davidson Received A Heartfelt Goodbye After Condo Sale

Campbell later penned a farewell letter to Davidson after learning the comedian had sold the property. In the note, he reportedly thanked Davidson for being “friendly, approachable, and respectful to everyone around” him and praised the actor for bringing “a special energy” to the building.

Davidson originally purchased the nearly 1,600-square-foot condo in 2020 for $1.2 million, later selling it this month after multiple price cuts and renovations.

The sale came amid reports that Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt recently split just months after welcoming their daughter, Scottie Rose. Although Davidson and Hewitt are reportedly committed to co-parenting their baby girl, insiders claim the split appears to be permanent. “He’s always been consistently supportive. He wants her to be in a good place. There’s a baby involved, and that’s their priority,” one insider shared of the couple’s current relationship.

According to sources, while the pair are prioritizing Scottie and working together as parents, reconciliation is currently not in the cards. “They are done. There have been problems throughout their relationship, and things are not good between them at all. They haven’t been for a while,” another insider claimed. “They tried working things out but decided it was best to go their separate ways.”

Pete Davidson Is Reportedly Supporting Elsie Hewitt And Daughter Financially

Even after the breakup, insiders claim Davidson is continuing to step up in a major way for Hewitt and their daughter. A source close to the former couple told Page Six that the comedian has been doing everything possible to make sure both Hewitt and baby Scottie feel supported during the transition. “Pete is doing everything to be super supportive to Elsie, he’s changed his schedule, and done everything he can to be there physically and financially so Elsie can feel supported,” the insider alleged.

According to the source, Davidson has also reportedly taken on the financial responsibilities tied to both Hewitt and their baby girl. “Pete has been paying for everything related to Elsie and Scottie,” the insider claimed, including “the rent, their living expenses, their health insurance.”

While the source acknowledged there had been “personal disagreements” and a “breakdown in the relationship,” they insisted Davidson remains “fully committed to being a good dad.”

Pete Davidson‘s split from model Elsie Hewitt seems to be quickly taking a left turn after she claimed she is the only one raising their baby.

Rumors of the couple’s split were recently confirmed after sources close to the pair revealed that they had broken up amicably as their relationship faced different “stressors.”

Now, insiders claim Elsie Hewitt’s latest remarks in a candid video about raising a child on her own have left Pete Davidson in shock.

Hewitt has left Davidson scratching his head over her comments about being her daughter’s only parent following her split from the comedian.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the model addressed critics who picked apart her somewhat disheveled appearance during a recent outing, stating that looks are no longer her priority.

“That’s not what I’m thinking about right now, because I have a baby to take care of, and I also have to work and make money, and I’m doing it on my own, which is hard,” Hewitt said.

While her remarks weren’t directly aimed at Davidson, sources revealed they have left the comedian stunned because he is “very present” in their baby’s life.

Speaking to Us Weekly, an insider said, “He wants nothing but the best for Elsie, and he shoulders all of the financial costs, including the costs for Elsie, her rent, and her health insurance. Elsie’s posts caught everyone around them off guard because they are simply not true.”

Elsie Hewitt Specified That She Is Caring For Their Daughter All By Herself

Besides claiming she was raising her daughter on her own, Hewitt also said in her video that she was “exhausted,” hence why she didn’t look “nicer” in the viral photos of her with her daughter, Scottie.

Her remarks led to a flood of comments from concerned fans, with many unsurprisingly calling out Davidson.

One person noted, “I loved Pete and respected his craft. But if that man really left you doing things on your own, that’s so low of him. Unacceptable!”

Another said, “That man was a walking red flag,” while a third noted that he should “pay up.”

A particular commenter asked Hewitt to clarify her claims in a bid to know if the model meant she was solely financially responsible for her daughter, to which she responded, “I am :),” per reports.

Pete Davidson And Elsie Hewitt’s Romance Was Strained By Various ‘Stressors’

According to Us Weekly, a source revealed that Davidson and Hewitt are still “sorting things out as it pertains to their split.”

They also hinted at the reason behind the couple’s breakup, noting that their becoming parents despite their relationship still being fresh played a major role.

“They tried to make it work, but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well,” the source said.

Davidson and Hewitt are, however, “both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”

Regarding a possible reconciliation, the source noted that it is “very unlikely” for the duo ever to reunite “romantically.”

While neither Davidson nor Hewitt has officially addressed claims of their split, sources revealed it was ultimately the comedian who ended things.

Hewitt reportedly did all she could to make the relationship work, but Davidson “decided he was done” and ready to move on from their romance.

A source speaking to journalist Rob Shuter’s “Naught But Nice” Substack noted that the former couple’s relationship cracked under the pressure of becoming first-time parents.

This is said to have exposed how little the couple knew of each other before having a child together.

“They confused intense chemistry with long-term compatibility,” the insider said. “They thought having a baby would be exciting and bring them closer together. The reality was the complete opposite.”

Elsie Hewitt And Pete Davidson Talked About Having More Kids

Barely a month after welcoming their daughter, Hewitt and Davidson hinted at the possibility of having more children together.

During an appearance for a campaign promo, the comedian shared how excited he was about being a father, noting that he would love for baby Scottie to have a sibling.

“We want her to have a friend, for sure,” Davidson told Us Weekly in early January 2026. “We love the idea of her being a big sister.
