Drake Bell’s wife is filing for divorce days after the missing star was found

Things are going from bad to worse for the 'Drake & Josh' star.

After being reported missing before being found around a week ago, Drake Bell’s personal dramas appear to be going from bad to worse as the Drake & Josh star’s estranged wife Janet Von Schmeling has officially filed for divorce.

Legal documents detailing Von Schmeling’s petition reveal that the pair have been separated since September last year, and cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation, as reported by TMZ

It would appear that Bell’s disappearance turned out to be the straw that broke the camel’s back when it comes to his relationship with Von Schmeling, with whom he shares a child. Bell’s ex reportedly wants the actor and musician to be granted visitation rights. This comes after Bell was reported missing and threatening suicide following a dispute with Von Schmeling over the custody over his child.

Drake Bell has had a multitude of troubles in his adult life after growing up as a child star, including a highly-publicized case about his relationship with an underage fan. That, as well as financial troubles (he has filed for bankruptcy protection in the past) now compound with his ongoing family troubles and legal proceedings. 

Bell’s career arguably peaked during his tenure on both The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh, both of which ran more or less simultaneously around the turn of the century. He is also known for having voiced Spider-Man in a number of Marvel properties. We have an in-depth look at the star’s filmography right here.
