The missing person’s report comes just a few months after Page Six reported the “Drake & Josh” alum and his wife, Janet Von Schmeling, were separated after four years of marriage and headed toward divorce.
At the time, a source told the outlet that Von Schmeling had “had enough” after Bell was photographed huffing balloons in a car while their son was in the back seat in photos obtained by DailyMail.com in December.
According to a Page Six insider, Von Schmeling and their son had moved to Florida, where she reportedly closed on a house.
The paper also said that Bell had reportedly entered treatment.
“It’s a bad moment in time for Drake. But he is a great dad when he is healthy and sober,” the insider added.
