A source told PEOPLE at the time: “Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues. His friends and family have been supportive during this time.”

Meanwhile, Davidson previously admitted that it feels “weird being happy”.

The Hollywood has struggled with his mental health for years, and Davidson confessed he “lived in discomfort for so long”.

The actor said on the Real Ones With Jon Bernthal podcast: “The only thing you can control is who you have around you, what you put your energy into, who loves you, and who you love back.

“It’s a weird thing for me to even grasp now because I’ve lived in discomfort for so long where that became comfortable. So now I actually have people around me now that love me, and it’s weird. That’s a whole new thing I never thought of. It’s weird being happy.”
