FORMER child star Drake Bell’s wife, Janet Von Schmeling, has reportedly filed for divorce a week after the actor went missing.
The 36-year-old actor was found safe on April 13 just hours after being reported missing by Daytona Beach police.

The two have been separated since September, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
Von Schmeling cited irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split, the documents revealed.
She is asking for primary legal and physical custody of the couple’s two-year-old son.
Von Schmeling is also asking for spousal support from Bell, who she wants to have visitation rights.
The couple tied the knot in 2018 after five years of dating.
It was announced in January that they had decided to separate, though the couple had been estranged for months.

“Drake and Janet are committed to maintaining a peaceful co-parenting relationship and giving their son the best life possible,” an insider told People at the time.
“Janet is devoted to raising their son. Drake needed to take time to get help and focus on his health.”
“It’s a bad moment in time for Drake but he is a great dad when he is healthy and sober,” another source told Page Six.
“They had some incredible beautiful times before. He needs to focus on being healthy, and they’ll be great co-parents in the future.”
ODD DISAPPEARANCE
Police published a worrying plea for information on Bell’s whereabouts last week, fearing the actor was endangered.
Bell had last been seen on April 12 driving a 2022 gray BMW near the area of Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Florida, police said.
Bell was found unharmed in Orange County at around 11.30am on Thursday, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to The U.S. Sun.
The actor underwent a mental health evaluation as recommended by Orange County deputies.
Bell appeared fine on Tuesday when he was spotted at Seaworld in Orlando with his son, a witness told TMZ.
The witness who approached Bell to tell him he was a fan said the actor responded in a “nice and soft-spoken manner.”
