Actor Joey Lawrence has confirmed his reconciliation with estranged wife Samantha Cope, just months after she filed to end their marriage. The couple’s reunion comes as a surprise to many, including Cope’s friend Melina Alves.
Lawrence, 48, took to Instagram on Wednesday and shared two romantic photos of himself and Cope, who is 37. The actor expressed his gratitude for the couple’s relationship and wished them well in their future together.
Cope filed to divorce Lawrence in August after they listed their separation date as two months prior. However, in October, she amended her petition to ask the court for joint legal custody of their 22-month-old daughter, Dylan.
Lawrence has two older daughters with ex-wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson. Cope is pregnant and expecting their first baby together.
The actor’s friend Melina Alves released a statement wishing the couple well in their reconciliation. “I wish them restoration with the relationship with his two older daughters and his wife,” she said. “And now their sweet girl, Dylan, gets to be raised in a home with both of her parents, surrounded by her sisters, her wonderful and loving grandmother Donna, and the rest of her family.”
