Drake Bell is taking steps to officially end his estranged marriage.
Actor formerly known as Drake & Josh has officially requested a divorce from his spouse, Janet Von Schmeling, in Seminole County, Florida, as reported by TMZ. This comes nearly two years following when Ms. Von Schmeling filed for divorce herself in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
In April 2023, Janet made the first moves to part ways after four years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of their separation in September 2022. According to legal documents at the time, she was aiming for primary legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Wyatt, and also requested spousal support.
Ever since then, the ex-Nickelodeon star has been open about his close and friendly coparenting situation with Janet. Notably, he expressed heartfelt feelings for her as recently as last month.
During a chat on the “Unplanned Podcast with Matt & Abby”, Drake stated, “My feelings towards my ex-wife don’t matter to me. What matters is that my child only knows that his mother and I have mutual affection for each other.
Although we aren’t in a relationship, there’s a strong bond of love between us. We deeply appreciate one another, and our affection for him is boundless. When he’s around me, I can proudly say, ‘His mom adores him, his mom is simply amazing.’
Even though Drake acknowledged that his relationship with his own parents wasn’t always ideal, he was committed to being the most caring and responsible father possible.
He jokingly remarked, ‘We adore our parents, yet, oh dear, they didn’t seem to instruct us on what makes a good parent.’ I aim to identify specific actions and aspects that-for instance, let me give an example. I think my generation or the one before mine experienced a high rate of divorce, and children often got caught up in those proceedings.
In simpler terms, the 39-year-old remembered that listening to his parents criticize each other made him feel as if their conflicts were a mirror reflecting something about him personally.
He expressed his understanding as follows: “Essentially, it seems like you’re all telling me that I’m not great because if he’s devoid of good traits, you’re devoid of good traits, and the two of you can’t stand each other. Then why do you even like me?” He further added, “I appear to be the embodiment of what you all dislike, which seems to create tension within me. It feels similar to saying, ‘That’s my mother. Stop speaking about her like that.’
