Joey Lawrence, Samantha Cope File for Divorce

Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope are divorcing after two years of marriage, with Cope filing for divorce on August 21, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. The couple, who met while filming the Lifetime movie 'My Husband’s Secret Brother', welcomed their daughter Dylan in January 2023. Cope is seeking full custody of Dylan, allowing visitation with Lawrence only at her discretion and requesting that non-relatives not be present during visits. This marks Lawrence's third divorce; he has two daughters from his previous marriage. Speculation about their separation arose when Lawrence was seen without his wedding ring during a family vacation in August, where Cope was absent. Both parties are not seeking spousal support, indicating a swift resolution to the financial aspects of their split.
