Drake Bell is moving forward with his divorce from Janet Von Schmeling.
31-year-old Janet previously filed for divorce in 2023, which Drake says he learned about from a report online. According to her filing, she had split from the 39-year-old former Nickelodeon actor in September 2022, citing irreconcilable differences.
Now, Drake has followed suit and filed for divorce himself.

TMZ reports that Drake filed the divorce paperwork in Seminole County, Florida on Thursday (August 14).
Details on their split were sparse as the outlet reports that there were no updates on their proceedings after she filed. TMZ reports that Drake‘s filing wasn’t available for viewing, so it’s unclear what caused him to file for divorce after his ex-wife.
In July, Drake was a guest on The Unplanned Podcast where he talked about co-parenting with Janet.
“I don’t care if I’m angry at my ex-wife. All my son knows is that me and his mom love each other,” Drake said, referring to Wyatt, the son the two of them share.
“We’re not together, but we love each other,” Drake said on the podcast. “We respect each other and we love him unconditionally. And whenever he’s with me, ‘His mama loves him, mama’s amazing.’”
