As I previously reported, Drake Bell hit up Disneyland just days after pleading guilty to child endangerment charges. Now we’re learning about that mystery woman and baby he was spotted with – it turns out the former Nickelodeon star is married with a kid!

Bell has taken to Twitter to confirm that he’s married to Janet Von Schmeling, and that they share a little boy. The star – who now performs under the name Drake Campana– has written the tweet in Spanish. Here’s the translated version:

"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,” the tweet reads. “Thank you very much to all my fans around the world for your good wishes."Check out the tweet below.

BRITNEY SPEARS LONGTIME MANAGER RESIGNS, SO DOES ATTORNEY

Britney Spears revealed that she didn’t know when she would return to the stage again, and based on new developments, it sounds like it will never happen. Larry Rudolph, Britney’s manager since the nineties, has officially resigned from the job, citing the fact that the singer has basically retired.

“It has been over 2 1/2 years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus,” he wrote in a letter sent to Brit’s co-conservators Jamie Spears and the court-appointed Jodi Montgomery. “Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire.” He added, “As her manager, I believe it is in Britney’s best interest for me to resign from her team as my professional services are no longer needed.”

He isn’t the only representative she’s losing.TMZ was first to report that her conservatorship lawyer Sam Ingham is also resigning, and filed papers yesterday asking to be dismissed as her court-appointed lawyer. Samuel D. Ingham III hereby resigns as court-appointed counsel for Britney Jean Spears, conservatee, effective upon the appointment of new court-appointed counsel,”the court filings read.

Sources say Sam is unhappy that Britney said in court that she was never told she could end her conservatorship, insisting that he would often detail her options, including the choice to end the conservatorship. He says she never indicated she wanted it to be over, only that she wanted her father Jamie removed.

GIGI ASKS PAPS TO HELP MAKE HER DAUGHTERS LIFE NORMAL

Gigi Hadid would like for her daughter to have a normal childhood. That’s why she’s asking the paparazzi, fan sites, and media to blur out the baby’s face in any photos.

The supermodel posted an open letter to her IG Stories asking for privacy for nine-month-old Khai– whom she shares with Zayn Malik. “As our baby grows up we have to realize that we can’t protect her from everything the way we wanted to and could when she was smaller,” Gigi explained. “She loves seeing the world! And although she gets a lot of that out near the farm, she also gets to experience other places- a true blessing.” 

After sharing an incident where Khai couldn’t understand had to be covered up in New York City, Gigi asked everyone to let her daughter have a normal life. “Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen. It would mean the world to us, as we take our daughter to see and explore NYC and the world, if you would PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE blur her face out of the images, if and when she is caught on camera,” she pleaded. “I know it’s an extra effort- but as a new mom, I just want the best for my baby, as all parents do… and I hope this can continue the conversation to protect minors in the media, even if they come from a public family.”
