Actor Joey Lawrence reconciles with ex wife months after her divorce filing
American actor and musician Joey Lawrence and his estranged wife, Samantha Cope, have chosen to give their marriage another shot, just months after Cope initiated divorce proceedings. Sources close to the couple informed TMZ that they have reconciled and are planning to halt the divorce process.
While the specifics of their reunion remain somewhat vague, it appears that their reconciliation has occurred recently, with both showing signs of reigniting their relationship.
On Wednesday night, Lawrence hinted at their renewed bond through a touching Instagram post. He shared a photo of the two together and expressed his gratitude, stating he was “galaxies beyond thankful.” Cope responded in the comments with a heart emoji and a simple “love you,” affirming their restored connection.
This development comes as a surprise, especially considering the tumultuous events leading to their separation. Just under four months ago, Cope filed for divorce after two years of marriage, seeking full physical custody of their daughter and requiring Lawrence to have her approval for visits.
The situation was further complicated by allegations that Lawrence had an affair with Melina Alves, the writer of his upcoming film, Socked in for Christmas. Alves’ husband claimed in divorce documents that the affair began in March. Lawrence has denied these claims, asserting that his relationship with Alves was based on shared experiences rather than physical involvement.
Adding to the strain, Lawrence had previously accused Cope of not accepting his two children from a prior relationship, which he cited as a major issue in their marriage. However, he has since deleted that comment from his Instagram.
Despite the public challenges, the couple appears committed to overcoming their differences and rebuilding their relationship. Fans of both Lawrence and Cope will undoubtedly be watching closely as they embark on this new chapter together.
