After two months in rehab, comedian John Mulaney has officially checked out and is doing well in outpatient sober care, according to a source.

“John has completed 60 days in rehab and now he’s in outpatient sober care," the source said. "He is doing well, although he is still not ready to return to work."

As OK! previously reported, the Emmy winner checked into a rehab facility in Pennsylvania for alcohol and cocaine addition

“John’s family and friends are happy that he’s finally getting some help and focusing on his health,” a source said at the time. “His fans know he’s struggled in the past with sobriety, he has talked about it openly. Unfortunately, he has struggled again during the pandemic.”

Mulaney, who has been married to Annamarie Tendler since 2014, had reportedly been sober for 15 years before he relapsed.

"It was a relief to his wife and family that he checked in. It was John’s decision. Plain and simple, John had too much downtime. He had too much time in his own head," a source told Us Weekly at the time. "John has always been engaged in his sobriety. The relapse got ugly, but it was his choice to go to rehab, which saved his life."

The 38-year-old has a long history with alcohol and drugs as his substance abuse issues began in his teenage years. 

"I drank for attention," he said in 2019 in an interview with Esquire. "I was really outgoing, and then at 12, I wasn’t. I didn’t know how to act. And then I was drinking, and I was hilarious again."

After a bad bender in 2005, Mulaney began to question his lifestyle. "It was just crazy. A weekend that was … there were … I’m never going to tell you. That’s mine," he said. "I didn’t kill anyone or assault anyone. But yeah, I was like, 'You’re f–king out of control.' And I thought to myself, 'I don’t like this guy anymore. I’m not rooting for him.'"

He quit cold turkey when he was 23 years old.

Page Six was first to report on Mulaney leaving rehab.
