Personal life
Growing up, Puth was bullied at school. He said, "They would team up against me so bad and they would kick me in a place that wouldn't feel fantastic and I would need to throw up and they would then say I was pretending to throw up."[97] On On Air with Ryan Seacrest he said he had a nervous breakdown from "just being overworked—and I'm in my head a lot and that, in combination with jetlag and, you know, the self-realization that I am getting more famous and my privacy goes out the window pretty much every day—it's just not what I'm used to, and I don't think I'm ever going to be used to it, and my therapy is to just put melody to it and sing it."[98]
He said that Justin Bieber's "viral leap into superstardom as a result of YouTube" influenced him to attempt the same.[101]
In 2022, he began dating Brooke Sansone, an old family friend. On December 2, Puth made it official on his Instagram account.[102] On September 7, 2023, he confirmed the couple was engaged,[103] and they married on September 7, 2024.[104]
