Joey Lawrence's wife, Samantha Cope, has filed for divorce after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting sole physical custody of their 19-month-old daughter, Dylan. Filed in August, Cope's documents also request that Lawrence's overnight visits with Dylan be limited to two nights a week once she turns three, and that no spousal support be awarded. Prior to the filing, Cope posted a cryptic message on Instagram about loss and freedom, suggesting a period of reflection and personal growth. The couple, who met on the set of a Lifetime movie, tied the knot in May 2022 and had a seemingly happy relationship, as per their public statements. Allegations of infidelity involving Lawrence have surfaced but remain unaddressed by both parties.
