John Mulaney’s wife Annamarie Tendler ‘unfollowed him’ and deleted Instagram just days before he entered rehab

“John’s friends and family are happy that he’s finally getting some help and focusing on his health," a source told .

“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.

“He’s on board with his recovery, he’s not fighting against rehab.”

The comedian has been open about his struggles in the past, often using humor to share details about his life.

In his 2012 comedy special New in Town, John revealed: ”I don't drink. I used to drink, then I drank too much and I had to stop. 

“That surprises a lot of audiences because I don't look like someone who used to do anything."

He also shared in an interview with Esquire that his drinking ended up leading to drug use and noted how he “loved” cocaine.

John told the outlet: “I wasn’t a good athlete, so maybe it was some young male thing of ‘This is the physical feat I can do. Three Vicodin and a tequila and I’m still standing.’ Who’s the athlete now?”

The tipping point for when he became sober, prior to his current stay in rehab, arrived when he was 23.

During to his Esquire cover story, he explained: “I went on a bender that weekend that was just, like, fading in and out of a movie … It was just crazy … 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.'”
