NY Post
Drake Bell has filed for divorce from his estranged wife, Janet Von Schmeling.
The former Nickelodeon star, 39, filed the petition in Seminole County, Florida, on Thursday, Aug. 14, per TMZ.
Von Schmeling, 31, previously filed a divorce petition of her own in Los Angeles in April 2023, and cited the former couple’s date of separation as September 2022.
At the time, Von Schmeling requested both primary legal and physical custody of her and the “Drake and Josh” star’s only child, Wyatt, 4.
She also requested spousal support and asked that the court grant Bell visitation rights.
“The process began back in 2023 when his wife filed citing irreconcilable differences,” Bell’s manager, Juan José Rovirosa, said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly on Saturday. “At this stage, both of them are simply concluding that legal process.”
