Personal life
[edit]Bella married fellow-actor Edward Furlong on April 19, 2006. The couple met in 2004, when filming Jimmy and Judy together. She gave birth to their son in September 2006.[4] On July 8, 2009, Bella filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.[5] She alleged in court documents, filed in 2012, that their son had tested positive for cocaine, which led a judge to rule that Furlong's parental visits with their son had to be supervised.[6] In May 2013, she obtained a restraining order against Furlong, alleging domestic violence. Furlong pleaded no contest.[7] She retained parental custody of their son until he turned 18 in September 2024.
She married Ron Zvagelsky on July 30, 2014. They have two children together, in addition to her son with Furlong.[2]
