Pete Davidson has checked himself into a mental health facility. Per Page Six, the Bupkis actor has been struggling with borderline personality disorder and PTSD. Davidson, 29, is currently checked into a Pennsylvania facility where his close friend, comedian John Mulaney went for help for alcohol and drug issues, the publication reports.

A friend told them that "Pete regularly goes to rehab for 'tune ups' and to take a mental break. So that’s what’s happening." Another source told People, "Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues. His friends and family have been supportive during this time."

Pete's Mental Health Struggles

Last August, Pete was in therapy to deal with the online harassment he received from Kanye West for dating his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. As we previously reported, the "attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics" was a trigger for Pete, so he had to seek out help. Davidson has long been open about his mental health struggles.

In 2018, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after years of battling depression and anxiety. He explained that the symptoms of the disorder led him to check into a rehabilitation program in 2016. At that time, he believed the mental breakdowns he was experiencing came from smoking cannabis. "This whole year has been a f---ing nightmare,” he said on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast in September 2017. “This has been the worst year of my life. Getting diagnosed with this and trying to figure out how to learn with this and live with this.”

In an interview with Variety in 2018, Davidson said he’d “been in and out of mental health facilities” since he was 9. He said the new medication he was on stabilized him after the "last few years have been real rough with me." He addded, "I took all these mental health classes and really spent a lot of time getting me good."

Pete Davidson: Here Are The Famous Women Who He Has Dated

Pete Davidson, AKA the man who dates the hottest women in Hollywood, has baffled and awed the public with who he has managed to become intimate with. The Staten Island comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member has gotten really far in his dating life by being a funny guy with "BDE" (we'll thank Ariana Grande for that one, and Kim Kardashian for confirming). He's been with older women, younger women, and women his age; he's been with actresses, singers, models and comedians -- his love knows no bounds.

The hopeless romantic opened up back in 2020 about his desire for love and hope to one day be a dad. Per People, Davidson said, “I love love. That’s how I grew up. Just my mom, my sister — I didn’t have a man around the house, so I was just like, ‘When am I going to find my Princess Charming?’ That’s all I’ve ever wanted.” He added, “I just want to have a kid, that’s it. I think that would be awesome.” The comedian even considered adopting with his mother, jokingly adding, “I think everybody is afraid of the Davidson seed.”

He went on to reveal, “I cry a lot. I get into deep conversations. I care about your s—. I like to meet your family. I like to know who you are. And some families are like, ‘Who the f--- are you?’ So I’m a lot for certain people. It was just how I was raised.”

If you're single in Hollywood, you better watch out, because you might be next in line to date Pete Davidson. Take a walk down memory lane of Pete's exes, to which most have only said positive things about the actor:

Davidson's first public relationship began in 2015. The two comedians starred on MTV's 'Girl Code' and 'Guy Code,' so it is likely they met there. Though it's been 7 years, they appear to be on good terms, as Aquilino made an appearance on Davidson's 'The King of Staten Island.'


Cazzie David

Pete began dating comedy legend Larry David's daughter Cazzie from 2016-2018. He broke up with her via text message, which she says devastated her in her book, 'No One Asked For This.'


Ariana Grande

Though the couple only dated for five months in 2018, they were both coming off of big breakups (Grande was with the late Mac Miller from 2016-2018). The pair fell fast and hard, announcing their engagement after 24 days of dating. The singer pretty much coined the term "BDE" when she was talking about Pete's member on Twitter at the time, which has since been deleted. Her tweet, that is.

Pete dated the actress, who's 20 years his senior, for a couple of months in 2019. They hilariously made out at a Rangers game next to a visibly uncomfortable Antoni Porowski ('Queer Eye').

The 'Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood' actress and Pete dated in August of 2019 and before the leaves could change, broke up two months later in October.

Davidson, who was 26 at the time, dated the 18-year-old model for a few months from October 2019 to December of that same year. He cited the fact that she was "very young" and that he was "f---ing going through a lot" before he went to rehab.

At the peak of her success with 'Bridgerton' in March 2021, the actress and Pete got together for a few months, this time for five months, splitting in August.

Of all of Pete's relationships, the one with Kim K is something no one saw coming. Pete was the first guy she publicly dated following her split from Kanye West, and their relationship lasted longer than anyone would have thought -- ending after nine months, the couple announced their split in August 2022.


Emily Ratajkowski

Pete's relationship with the model began in November, though there has been speculation that the two have been talking for months. They called it quits after two months.

The pair met in 2021 while working on 'Bodies Bodies Bodies.' In December 2022, they were seen attending a New York Rangers game with their fellow 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' co-star Rachel Sennott, but at that time Pete was linked to Ratajkowski. Following his split from the model, Davidson started spending more time with Wonders on dates and vacationing together.
