Joey Lawrence looks glum on day out with wife Samantha Cope and daughter after calling off divorce
Joey Lawrence and new wife Samantha Cope looked loved up as they enjoyed some family time in the park in LA on Tuesday – after calling off their divorce.
The actor, 48, and his gorgeous 37-year-old wife looked happier than ever as they were joined by their adorable 19-month-old daughter Dylan in the park.
Joey wore a blue T-shirt, jeans and a green jacket, while Samantha looked chic in a blue jacket and jeans.
Four months after Samantha filed for divorce, the family seemed like a strong unit again.
The couple made their first public appearance since their reunion Friday at a busy Los Angeles market, per TMZ.
This public outing follows a series of PDA-filled snaps the couple shared at an event for their upcoming holiday film Marry Christmaswhere they play an engaged duo who are getting married on Christmas Day.

In one particularly heartwarming moment, Joey and Samantha shared a kiss, and he captioned it: “My forever after.”
“I am beyond grateful, I am beyond blessed, I am galaxies beyond grateful. My heart is so full,” Lawrence captioned another photo.
Not to be outdone, Cope chimed in with a sweet comment, “I love you,” to which Lawrence replied, “I love you so much, baby.”
After the initial filing on August 21, Samantha later amended the document to ask the court for joint legal custody of the couple’s 19-month-old daughter Dylan.
Cope still wants sole physical custody of the child and has preemptively agreed to allow Lawrence, 48, to keep Dylan for up to two nights a week once she turns three in January 2026.
In addition, the mother of one child blocked the court’s ability to award spousal support.
Lawrence married Cope in 2022 after they met on the set of the Lifetime movie My Husband’s Secret Brother.
Before Samantha, Joey was married to Chandie Yawn-Nelson from 2005 until they announced their divorce in July 2020.

After initially filing on August 21, the 37-year-old actress later amended the document to ask the court for joint legal custody of the couple’s 19-month-old daughter, Dylan.
The exes share two children: daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14.
Cope cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of her and Lawrence’s rift, TMZ reported after reviewing court documents, adding that they split last June.
She explained to the court that she does not want Lawrence to have extended visits with Dylan until she is “older and can consent to such visits.”
There was also a request for approval from any non-family members her daughter is around while she is with Lawrence, the outlet reported.
In August 2021, Cope and Lawrence announced their engagement to Us Weekly, with the actor gushing to the publication at the time, “It’s a lot of great things, a lot of great things. She’s the best person ever.’
The exes tied the knot in May 2022 at the Temecula Creek Inn in Temecula, California.
Cope told People at the time that her courtship with Lawrence went quickly: “From day one, it was such a safe place to be myself. Two weeks later I thought, ‘I’ll be with you forever.’
She added, “If you meet the right person, if you’re lucky, the chase ends so quickly. I have someone who is like-minded and has the same love language, and we communicate the same way. That’s super important. And I’m so grateful.’
