Drake Bell and Janet Von Schmeling Split After 4 Years of Marriage: Reports

It’s over. Drake Bell and wife Janet Von Schmeling have split after four years of marriage, according to multiple reports.

Page Six and People reported on Monday, January 2, that Bell, 36, and Schmeling, 28, split late last year. (Us Weekly has reached out to Bell’s attorney for comment.)

Schmeling previously claimed via Instagram in November 2022 that the twosome had “separated,” but later deleted the post.

One month later, she seemingly hinted at the issues in her marriage, writing via Instagram, “I’m HEALING and trying to find peace. This will be a process. My son is with me and will stay with me, We are in Florida with family and we are safe. We are finding our forever home here.”

Schmeling’s social media update came shortly after an eyewitness exclusively revealed to Us Weekly that Bell was spotted seemingly “huffing” balloons on two separate occasions in December 2022 while his young son was in the backseat of the car.

In a statement to Us, American Addiction Centers chief medical officer Dr. Lawrence Weinstein said Bell’s behavior was part of a rising trend.

“Based on data … there was an increase of more than 11 percent in the number of people who have misused an inhalant in the past year,” he told Us, adding that inhalant abuse can cause cognitive impairment or sudden death. “[It] is very dangerous.”

The actor, who has remained tight-lipped about his personal life in the past, shocked fans when he announced that he was a father and a husband.

“In response to various rumors that are incorrect, I have been married for almost three years, and we are blessed to be the parents of a wonderful son,” Bell tweeted in July 2021. “Thank you very much to all my fans around the world for your good wishes.”
