ET has reached out to a representative for Bell.
In 2021, Bell was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service in connection to his high profile child endangerment case.
Bell initially pleaded not guilty to two criminal counts of attempted endangering children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. However, he later changed his plea to guilty.
According to multiple outlets, in addition to probation and community service hours, the judge ruled at the time that Bell was prohibited from contacting the victim in the case, who met Bell online and attended one of his concerts in Cleveland in 2017, when she was 15 years old.
Also in 2021, Bell revealed that he had secretly married and welcomed a son.
