Contrary to swirling rumors, there is absolutely no romantic involvement between comedian Pete Davidson and social media figure Maria Georgas.
In a decisive move to clear the air, Georgas took to her Instagram Stories, stating, “Never dated Pete. False rumor.” She further emphasized her connection, adding, “I’m friends with his sister. Case closed.”
The 30-year-old Georgas went on to assert in a follow-up post that Davidson is “not in rehab and has been sober for months,” dispelling any false claims regarding his health.
Expressing her frustration, she wrote, “Can’t believe this s—. It’s very insulting to his recovery and my mental health,” underscoring the seriousness of such unfounded speculations. “He’s literally home.”
The recent rumors started circulating following the end of Davidson’s ten-month relationship with Madelyn Cline, a star from the popular show Outer Banks, which PEOPLE confirmed in July. This was soon after he entered a wellness facility aimed at mental health improvement later that same month.
In late July, Davidson sought mental health treatment, diligently focusing on maintaining his sobriety. A source shared with PEOPLE that his friends and family were proud of the SNL alum’s commitment to his well-being, emphasizing that his mental health has “always been a priority.”
Following his time at the wellness facility, a source relayed to PEOPLE that the comedian was “back in the swing of things” and thriving in his journey to recovery.
Friends noted that “he looks better and healthier than he’s ever looked and he’s feeling happy,” signifying a positive turn in his personal life.
Earlier this month, Davidson delighted fans with a surprise cameo on Saturday Night Live, marking a notable moment during the episode hosted by John Mulaney.
