Joey Lawrence is trying to take Samantha Cope divorce: Joey Lawrence is dissatisfied with the course of his divorce from Samantha Cope.
According to a family-friendly source who spoke with the public, Cope’s co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson, with whom he shares two daughters, Liberty, 14, and Charleston, 18, has improved as a result of their split.
According to the insider, Lawrence’s relationship with his ex-wife and their daughters “got exponentially better once they split.” “Joey’s strong and strong in his faith so he is trying to take it all in stride, but he is very disappointed and upset at how all of this has turned out.”
Lawrence allegedly had an affair with his socked-in-for-Christmas costar, Melina Alves, according to another insider who spoke with the public last week. According to a family-friendly source, the two “had a working relationship and were partners on a couple of things.”
The source went on, “He knew she was going through a divorce as well.” “He was very empathetic to her situation as well and called her collateral damage when it comes to all this.”
Representatives for Lawrence and Cope have been contacted by Newsweek for comments.
In May 2022, Lawrence and Cope exchanged vows. A year earlier, they had met while filming My Husband’s Secret Brother on Lifetime.
After two years of marriage, Cope filed for divorce from Lawrence on August 13. Cope filed for divorce on August 13, two months after their June 7, 2024, declared date of separation, citing irreconcilable differences as the basis for their breakup, according to a divorce petition seen by OTHERS.
She asked the court to prevent any side from receiving spousal support. She also wants full physical custody of their 19-month-old daughter Dylan, with the option for Lawrence to visitation at her discretion.
“Once Dylan is 3 or older, Joe will have the option to take her for 2 nights in her home location if he is not working and can facilitate her visiting,” according to the document.
After the news broke, a person close to the split said that Lawrence’s friendship with Alves—a writer and co-star on his next movie, Socked in for Christmas—was the reason the two parted ways.
The insider asserted, “Joey met Melina Alves on the set of their movie, where she was a producer.” “He proceeded to love-bomb her in the same manner that he had Samantha. Even after Samantha confronted him after learning about it, he kept dating Melina.”
After Lawrence started seeing Alves, another source told the public that the couple “had troubles from the beginning of their relationship” and that Lawrence’s affair “is not the cause,” “not by a long shot,” of their breakup.
The insider asserted that Lawrence was “glad the marriage is over because he can breathe” and that he had reached a breaking point in defending his children, mother, and family to Samantha.
The insider went on, “He can be himself.” “He is dedicating his time to restoring the lost bond he once shared with his kids.”
Lawrence has not made any statements since the news of his divorce surfaced, but Cope broke her quiet on Saturday, August 24, by sharing a photo on Instagram that included both happy and sad memories from the past several months.
