Joey Lawrence's Wife Samantha Cope Breaks Silence Amid Divorce

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Samantha Cope‘s recent social media post resonates deeply with me. It’s a testament to her strength and resilience in the face of adversity, a trait that many women can relate to.


Samantha Cope is getting vulnerable.

37-year-old individual initiated a divorce from Joey Lawrence, stating irreconcilable differences. Subsequently, it was suggested in separate court filings that Joey was unfaithful to Samantha with his co-star Melina Alves from the movie “Socked in for Christmas”. Now, Samantha has decided to speak up publicly for the first time via social media.

In a post on August 25th, she wrote: “A dear friend of mine shared something profound with me, ‘Don’t fear tears; let them fall. They are nothing but divine pressure easing the pain and despair from your heart, making way for fresh, beautiful emotions to fill you.'”

Previously wedded to Joey for a span of two years until their separation, Samantha couldn’t resist inserting a humorous remark: “By the way, she said something that stuck with me: ‘The more you weep, the less you urinate.’ So let it out. You’ve got this.”

Beyond the video, showcasing moments of Samantha with her 19-month-old daughter Dylan, a voiceover played, “Observe how much you’ve progressed. You conquered your struggles. You emerged victorious from them. There were instances when I was genuinely concerned about you, but look at you now.”

In her divorce paperwork submitted on August 13, Samantha specified that she and the former Blossom cast member had separated on June 7. She asked for full physical custody of Dylan, while both parties would share legal custody.

In Samantha’s legal filing, it was stated that she would have full physical custody of Dylan, with visitation rights granted to Joe at Samantha’s discretion. The document further mentioned that once Dylan turns three years old, Joe may have the opportunity to take care of her for two consecutive nights at his home if he is not working and can facilitate her visits. However, Joe has yet to respond or comment publicly about their separation.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d rephrase it this way: In my professional opinion, when discussing parenting arrangements with my partner, I suggest setting boundaries that ensure quality time with our child. For instance, I propose we avoid extended periods of separation until she reaches an age where she can express her preferences for visitation and all parties are prepared to accommodate these requests harmoniously.

However, not long after Samantha’s filing became public, it emerged that Melina Alves and her husband, Edward Rider, were actually separating at the time. According to Edward’s divorce documents submitted in July, he claimed that Melina and Joey had been involved romantically while both were still married to their respective partners.

According to the court records from Edward, reported by TopMob News, it is claimed that Joey and Melina were unfaithful to their partners not just once in California, but also on multiple occasions at different locations.

Despite the challenges Samantha faces in her divorce from Joey, who has daughters Charleston (18) and Liberty (14) with his second wife Chandie Yawn Nelson, she remains focused on finding the bright sides of her situation.

In a post dated June 11th, she expressed four days following their separation: “What isn’t always a loss is everything that gets let go. Sometimes it’s about gaining freedom. Sometimes it’s about receiving another opportunity.”
