Back in January, it was reported Drake and his wife Janet Von Schmeling has separated and were "headed for divorce"
"They had some incredible beautiful times before. He needs to focus on being healthy, and they’ll be great co-parents in the future.
"It's a bad moment in time for Drake. But he is a great dad when he is healthy and sober," a source told Page Six at the time.

It's not the first time Drake has faced trouble since his time on Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh.
In 2021, he avoided serving jail time after pleading guilty to two criminal counts of attempted child endangerment and disseminating matters harmful to juveniles from an incident in 2017.
Drake was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service at a court in Ohio.
He allegedly met a girl — who is now an adult — online and sent her "inappropriate social media messages".
