Drake Bell Shares Rare Co-Parenting Comments, Says He Makes Sure His Son, 4, Knows He and Ex Janet von Schmeling 'Love Each Other'

Drake Bell is making sure his son, 4, knows that he and his ex-wife Janet von Schmeling "love each other" as he talks about his co-parenting mentality.

The Drake & Josh alum, 39, appeared on The Unplanned Podcast with Matt & Abby and spoke about his relationship with his own parents. As he discussed how he had a falling out with his dad and later reconciled, Bell was asked what he hopes to do in his own co-parenting relationship with ex-wife Janet von Schmeling to avoid a similar situation. Although Bell is largely private about his son, in April he shared with PEOPLE that playing the iconic character Timmy Turner in TV movies A Fairly Odd Christmas and A Fairly Odd Summer caused some confusion for his son.
