Actor Joey Lawrence reconciles with estranged wife months after her divorce filing

Joey Lawrence and his estranged wife, Samantha Cope, have decided to give their marriage another chance, months after Cope filed for divorce. Sources close to the couple told TMZ that the pair has reconciled and plans to call off their divorce proceedings.

While the exact reasons and timeline for their reunion remain unclear, the reconciliation is reportedly recent, with both parties showing signs of rekindling their relationship.

On Wednesday night, Lawrence hinted at their renewed connection with a heartfelt Instagram post. Sharing a picture of the couple, he expressed gratitude, saying he was “galaxies beyond thankful.” Cope responded in the comments with a heart emoji and wrote, “love you,” confirming the couple’s repaired bond.

The news comes as a surprise, given the dramatic circumstances surrounding their separation. Less than four months ago, Cope filed for divorce after two years of marriage, requesting 100% physical custody of their daughter and stipulating that Lawrence’s visits would require her approval.

The split was further complicated by allegations that Lawrence had an affair with Melina Alves, the writer of his upcoming movie Socked in for Christmas. Alves’ husband claimed in divorce documents that the relationship began in March. Lawrence denied the accusations, stating his connection with Alves was built on shared experiences, not physical intimacy.

Adding to the tension, Lawrence previously accused Cope of not accepting his two children from a previous relationship, calling it a significant strain on their marriage. However, he has since removed that statement from his Instagram.

Despite the publicized fallout, the couple seems determined to move past their differences and rebuild their relationship. Fans of the actor and Cope will undoubtedly watch closely as the two work toward a fresh chapter in their marriage.
