Pete Davidson, the 31-year-old comedian and former Saturday Night Live star, has entered rehab in Florida for the second time this year, amid ongoing struggles with his mental health. Sources close to Davidson reveal he is in a difficult state, making this stint particularly concerning.
Following a trying time that included a secret romance and subsequent breakup with Maria Georgas, a former contestant on The Bachelor, Davidson entered rehab. According to an insider, Pete’s decision to seek treatment came shortly after ending his relationship with Maria. “He’s in pretty bad shape this time around,” the source shared. “He’s not in a good place.”
The insider noted that Davidson flew to the Florida facility via private jet and checked in shortly after being seen in public on a few occasions. His last public appearances included a cameo on SNL on November 2 and attending The Room premiere in Los Angeles with close friend Machine Gun Kelly on October 24.
The Secret Romance with Maria Georgas
Davidson’s recent struggles coincide with a short-lived romance with Maria Georgas, 30, who appeared on Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor. The pair reportedly dated for a few months before parting ways.
Despite their relationship remaining hidden, social media revealed hints about their connection. Pete’s sister Casey Davidson liked the comments Maria left on her Instagram. Despite the hints, the couple kept their relationship out of the public eye.
Reps for both Davidson and Georgas have not commented on the situation.
Rehab History and Mental Health Challenges
This recent rehab visit marks Davidson’s fifth known stint in treatment. He has been candid about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse over the years, including diagnoses of borderline personality disorder and depression.
Davidson last sought treatment in July, cutting short several standup comedy tour dates under the banner “Prehab.” However, that rehab stay was brief, reportedly lasting only a few weeks.
Fading Friendships and Professional Strains
The comedian has faced professional and personal challenges beyond his mental health. Reports suggest he has had falling outs with close friends and collaborators. A notable rift has emerged between Davidson and SNL alum Colin Jost, once a trusted confidant.
“They don’t talk as much as they used to,” said a source close to the duo’s business venture involving a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry. The project, which aims to turn the vessel into an entertainment venue, remains on track despite their drifting friendship.
Furthermore, several individuals in Davidson’s circle have reportedly parted ways with him, with one insider asserting, “Everyone has had enough of him.” He’s too much of a headache and doesn’t show up to meetings.”
A Series of Broken Relationships
Davidson’s romantic life has been turbulent over the past year. Before his brief relationship with Maria Georgas, he dated Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline for nearly a year, ending their relationship amicably.
His previous high-profile relationships include actress Chase Sui Wonders and reality star Kim Kardashian. Despite his string of romances, Davidson has struggled to maintain stability in both his personal and professional life.
Moving Forward
As Pete Davidson undergoes treatment, fans and loved ones hope this stint will help him find the stability he needs. His ongoing challenges serve as a reminder of the importance of mental health care, even for those in the public eye.
For now, Davidson remains focused on his recovery, with his future in entertainment and personal life hanging in the balance.
