Joey Lawrence and his estranged wife are working through their differences — they are rekindling their relationship months after she filed for divorce … TMZ has learned.
Sources directly connected to the couple tell TMZ … Joey and his wife of 2 years, Samantha Cope, are back together, and they plan on calling off their divorce.
While it’s unclear right now why or when they reconciled … our sources say it was recent and it’s clear they’ve definitely rebuilt their relationship.
Lawrence first revealed things were warming up with Cope through an Instagram post Wednesday night — he shared a loved-up pic of them, and wrote in the caption, he is “galaxies beyond thankful.”
SC responded in the comments to the message with a heart emoji and “love you” … so, relationship repaired.
The reconciliation’s pretty shocking given Samantha filed for divorce less than 4 months ago … and asked for 100% physical custody of their daughter — with Joey only getting to visit their kid with her sign-off.
Lawrence was accused of cheating on Cope with Melina Alves, the writer of a movie he’s starring in, “Socked in for Christmas” … with her husband claiming in divorce docs Joey and Melina started a sexual relationship in March.
JL denied cheating allegations in the aftermath of the divorce filing … saying his bond with Alves was based on shared experiences and mutual understanding, not physical intimacy.
Joey claimed his 2 kids from a previous relationship would never be accepted by Samantha, a major rift in their relationship — though he’s since taken that statement off his Instagram.
We’ve reached out to Joey and Samantha for more on their reunion … so far, no word back.
