Ireland Baldwin, the 19-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, has checked into rehab for "emotional trauma," People reports. The model announced her treatment in a series of Twitter posts yesterday.
Baldwin, who has been in an on-again/off-again relationship with rapper Angel Haze, is seeking treatment at Malibu's SOBA Recovery Center, but denied her stay was linked to "intense partying."
"She's not using, this is not drug-related, she voluntarily checked herself in," a source told People, adding that Baldwin's issues are not related to alcohol. "She's just been in some tough situations lately, and it’s gotten a bit stressful and overwhelming, so she’s just being proactive. She’s in there to get the tools she needs to move forward in a positive direction."
Here's how Baldwin announced her rehab visit:
