Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope's marriage faced significant challenges from the outset, leading to their recent divorce after two years. Insiders reveal that despite rumors of infidelity linked to Lawrence's co-star Melina Alves, this was not the primary factor for their split; rather, Lawrence reportedly reached a breaking point in defending his family to Cope. Cope has filed for full custody of their 19-month-old daughter, Dylan, which has left Lawrence feeling devastated. He is described as a devoted father who is now focusing on reconnecting with his children following the separation. The couple's whirlwind romance began in 2021, culminating in their marriage in May 2022, but sources indicate that they had issues from the beginning. Representatives for both parties have declined to comment on the situation.
