Pete Davidson ‘checks himself into wellness facility’ as SNL alum halts upcoming stand-up comedy shows
PETE Davidson has checked himself into a wellness facility to help with his mental health struggles, according to reports.
The news comes weeks after Davidson split with his girlfriend, Madelyn Cline, after nearly a year of dating.
A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun at the time that Davidson and Cline’s relationship had fizzled out but the end was “amicable.”
Now, the Saturday Night Live alum, 30, admitted himself to a wellness facility to “prioritize” his mental health, according to People.
“Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues,” a source previously told the magazine.
“His friends and family have been supportive during this time.”
The source added that mental health has “always been a priority” for Davidson since his diagnosis with borderline personality disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The comedian’s therapist diagnosed him with BPD in 2017 when he was 23.
Sobriety is also a continued focus for the comedian.
CANCELED TOUR DATES
Davidson, in the middle of his nationwide Prehab Tour, was forced to cancel scheduled stops.
The tour was set to kick off in Kansas on August 9 and end in Texas on October 14.
Davidson had eight shows lined up for the tour across Kansas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, and Texas that have been canceled on Ticketmaster.
The individual venues released statements to ticketholders that the shows were canceled due to “scheduling conflicts.”
Refunds will be issued to ticketholders. Those who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will see their money back on their card automatically.
The changes to the tour were announced shortly after People reported Davidson’s health status.
DAVIDSON OPENS UP
Davidson previously checked himself into rehab in June 2023 as he continued to struggle with BPD and PTSD.
Davidson then joined comedians John Mulaney and Jon Stewart for a comedy show in Atlantic City, New Jersey, a few months after he checked into the facility.

“Then, when somebody finally tells you, the weight of the world feels lifted off your shoulders. You feel so much better.”
It is unclear whether Davidson will reschedule his tour dates and how long he will stay in the treatment facility.
