Pete Davidson has reportedly checked himself into a wellness facility.

The US comedy star, 30, made the decision to seek assistance again amid his ongoing goal to “always” prioritise his mental health, a source told People.

The insider added that Davidson’s family and friends are happy to see him continuing to put his health and wellbeing first. A rep for Davidson did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The Saturday Night Live star’s decision to enter a wellness facility comes one month after he split from actress Madelyn Cline.

The two were first linked in September 2023 and were spotted holding hands in public one month later when the comedian took Cline, 26, to an afterparty for SNL.

Prior to romancing Cline, Davidson dated his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders for just under a year. He also famously dated Kim Kardashian for nine months between 2022 and 2023 following other high profile romances with stars like Ariana Grande.

News about Davidson’s latest treatment stay was revealed two weeks after he revealed he still smokes weed after getting clean from other substances.

“I can’t quit [weed] yet. It’s all I have left,” he said at his “Pete Davidson: Rehab Tour” show in Atlantic City, NJ, earlier this month. “I did coke and ketamine and f – king all the pills and all that s**t. All I have is weed left, so it’s almost over, but I’m holding on for a little bit longer.”

Page Six reported in August 2023 that the comedian tried ketamine to treat his depression. The revelation came just months after Davidson entered a rehab facility to help manage his PTSD and borderline personality disorder.

At the time, a source close to Davidson assured Page Six that his decision to seek treatment wasn’t something to be concerned about as it is routine for him.

“Pete regularly goes to rehab for ‘tune ups’ and to take a mental break, so that’s what’s happening,” one insider explained, with another adding, “Anyone who knows Pete knows that he will always step up and get help when he knows he needs it.”

Over the years, Davidson has been very vocal with his fans about his mental health struggles.

He admitted on CBS Sunday Morning in 2020 that he has had severe suicidal thoughts at times, saying, “I got as close as you can get — just like testing the waters.”

Davidson added that it got “pretty dark and scary” until he finally “met the right treatments and met the right doctors and did all the work that you need to do to not feel that way.”

He also told Variety in 2018 that he had been “in and out of mental health facilities” since he was nine years old.
