Officially, it is over. Us Weekly has revealed that Janet Von Schmeling, Drake Bell’s estranged wife, has filed for divorce just one week after the Nickelodeon alum’s disappearance.

On Thursday, April 20, Von Schmeling, 28, submitted the necessary paperwork, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the breakup. The Florida native is requesting primary legal and physical custody of the couple’s 2-year-old son, Wyatt, according to documents acquired by TMZ, which broke the news first. However, she also asked that Bell, 36, be given visitation privileges. Additionally, she asks for spousal support.

The Daytona Beach Police Department earlier reported the former child star missing on Thursday, April 13. Officers are searching for Jared Bell, DOB 06/27/1986, according to a Facebook post made at the time by the department. He should be driving a 2022 gray BMW, and his last known location on April 12, 2023, just before 9 p.m., may have been near Mainland High School. He is regarded as missing and in danger.

The DBPD issued an update a few hours later stating that Bell had been located. Another Facebook post said, “We can confirm law enforcement officials are in contact and Mr. Bell is safe.” Later that day, the Drake & Josh actor said the entire incident had been a mistake. He tweeted on Thursday, “You leave your phone in the car and don’t answer for the night and this?” along with a laughing sobbing emoji.

Bell’s relatives and friends were “worried” about him before going missing, an insider exclusively revealed to Us after Bell was discovered. The insider at the time said, “There was some family communication that raised some questions.”
