Davidson and his pregnant partner are said to be experiencing significant strain in their relationship, just days after announcing they're expecting their first child together.

According to an insider close to the couple, the 31-year-old comedian and the 29-year-old model have been “fighting a lot” behind the scenes.

“It’s getting out of control,” the insider told The U.S. Sun. “They’ve even started secretly recording each other.”

The couple currently resides in New York, a state that allows one-party consent for recordings, meaning it’s legal to record a conversation as long as one person involved is aware of it.

However, while one source paints a picture of growing discord, another insider pushed back on the claims, urging caution.
