According to court records obtained by E! News and filed on April 20 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Drake Bell’s wife, Janet Von Schmeling, is taking steps to officially break their four-year marriage.
Janet revealed they’d been separated since September 2022, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause for her divorce from the Drake & Josh alum. She wants sole legal and physical custody of their 2-year-old son and spousal maintenance.
E! News reached out to Drake’s representative for comment but has not received a response.
The lawsuit comes one week after the 36-year-old went gone for a short time in Florida, prompting authorities to declare him “missing and endangered.”
Drake announced on April 20 that he was “finally” back in Mexico, tweeting in Spanish, “I need to make it my home.” It’s far superior to the United States!”

The musician then addressed the internet abuse he claims to have experienced. “It truly astounds me how cruel people are here to people with mental health issues.” “It’s unreal how cruel you all can be,” Drake said in a series of tweets. “There’s no reason to keep doing this!! All I get is being attacked. “I hope you enjoy the new song I released; it’s all I have left.”
According to the police report obtained by E! News, Drake’s brother Robert Bell contacted Florida police on April 12 and expressed concern for Drake since the Nickelodeon alum allegedly made suicidal threats in texts sent to their mother.
According to Robert, Drake was “distraught” because of suspected custody battles with Janet over their son. According to Robert, Drake visited his estranged wife in Winter Park, Fla., to discuss child custody plans.
On April 13, police issued a missing person alert on Facebook, stating that the actor was last seen near Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Fla., about 9 p.m. the night before. According to officials, Drake was discovered safe hours later, on April 13.
Later that evening, the actor appeared to explain his mysterious disappearance, tweeting, “You leave your phone in the car and don’t answer for the night and this?” with a laughing emoji.
According to Instagram photographs released by Page Six, Janet celebrated their son’s second birthday with a “Baby Shark”-themed party that Drake did not appear to attend.
The couple married in 2018, and Drake announced the birth of their baby in 2021, tweeting at the time in Spanish, “I have been married for almost 3 years, and we are blessed to be the parents of a wonderful son.” Thank you so much to all my followers worldwide for your good wishes.”
