Pete Davidson and his daughter spent Father's Day in New York City.
An exclusive source tells PEOPLE that the actor-comedian, 32, brought 6-month-old Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson and his mom, Amy Waters Davidson, to the American Museum of Natural History on Manhattan's Upper West Side to celebrate the holiday on Sunday, June 21.
“He wanted Scottie to be exposed to some of New York's most famous museums, even though she's still a baby,” the insider tells PEOPLE of the family outing. “Overall, it was a sweet, low-key Father's Day – just a fun, memorable day spent with his daughter.”
"People were super friendly, respectful, and very supportive of Pete and Scottie," the source adds. “They just had a really nice time."

The insider also notes that Davidson has cut back on traveling and adjusted his work schedule to spend more time with Scottie, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt.
This year marks Davidson's first Father's Day as a dad. He and Hewitt, 30, welcomed the little one — who was named after Davidson's late father, Scott Matthew Davidson — in December 2025, months after they were first romantically linked in March 2025.
PEOPLE later confirmed that the model and comedian had split in May. The news came after a source told PEOPLE in April that the pair were actively trying to navigate relationship struggles together following the birth of their daughter.

Before the breakup, Davidson previously opened up to PEOPLE about how becoming a dad changed him, and he praised Hewitt's parenting.
"Dad life is f–king awesome," the comedian told PEOPLE in March. "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."
The Saturday Night Live alum also said that fatherhood has made him feel a lot more "primal" and protective. "It's funny,” he said at the time, adding that before welcoming his baby girl, he “didn't understand this. You're just ready to fight anyone.”
"It's like, ‘Chill out. No one's doing anything to your kid.' But you have this weird… I guess it's not weird. It's good. But you have this overly protective, like… if one paparazzi guy pops out I'm going to f—ing beat the living s— out of him," he continued at the time. "So that's a weird gear because I'm not a fighter guy."

"But you develop this like, 'Is that person looking at my baby? What are you looking at?' You're very, very hyper aware,” he added of his newfound protectiveness over the little one. “But I guess that goes back to caveman times, you know? It's very…what do they say? It's like primal?"
Added Davidson, "That's been surprising, the urge to beat the s— out of someone. But other than that, it's been just cute stuff."
