Drake Bell's wife Janet Von Schmeling has filed for divorce from the former Disney star

Drake Bell's wife, Janet Von Schmeling, has filed for divorce from the former Disney star.

Court documents obtained by TMZ show the 28-year-old has cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason behind their split.

The legal filing indicates the couple of four years separated in September last year and are now making it official.

Von Schmeling is reportedly asking for 'primary legal and physical custody' of their one-year-old son Wyatt and is also requesting spousal support.

The court documents show Janet is willing for Drake to have visitation rights for their son.

The sad update for the couple comes a week after the Drake and Josh star went missing and sparked a huge manhunt.

An alert was issued for the former Disney star after his loved ones couldn't reach him for several hours.

Fearing the worst, authorities said the 36-year-old was 'missing and endangered' in Florida.

The alert, which was posted to Facebook, read: "Officers are looking for Jared Bell.

"He should be travelling in a 2022 grey BMW."

Before finally being found, Bell's last known location was 'potentially the area of Mainland High School' at 9pm EST.

In a follow-up comment, the police department added: "For those asking, this is a legitimate post from the Daytona Beach Police Department. If you have any information, please contact Detective Jayson Wallace."

Thankfully, he was found alive and well and Drake has now revealed what sparked all the drama.

Writing on Twitter, he said: "You leave your phone in the car and don’t answer for the night and this?"

The 36-year-old was probably getting loads of calls and messages and they were all going unanswered for a very understandable reason.

Let this be a lesson to people to make sure they have their devices on them at all times in case someone thinks you've gone missing.

Or, if you want some alone time away from digital devices then let someone know where you'll be.

Following the scary indicate, TMZ reports authorities 'took action to ensure Drake received a mental health evaluation'.
