    Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope have split up after two years of marriage

    The 48-year-old actor tied the knot with Samantha, 37, in May 2022 and has daughter Dylan, 19 months, but documents obtained by TMZ on Wednesday (21.08.24) show that she has filed for divorce and that they separated in June


    The outlet reported that Samantha "checked the box to block the court's ability to award either of them spousal support " and that she has asked for "sole physical custody of their daughter" until she reaches the age of three, at which point she will permit her to stay with her dad for up to "two nights per week".

    Samantha also notes that she does not want " non-family members around Dylan while she's visiting her father" unless she permits it.

    Neither the 'Melissa and Joey' star - who was initially married to Michelle Vella from 2002 until 2005 and then went on to have Charlie, 18, and 14-year-old Libby with his second wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson before their split in 2023 - nor Samantha has commented publicly on the split yet.

    But in recent weeks, Samanta has hinted that things have gone awry between the pair, having already unfollowed Joey on the platform.

    She also alluded to a "loss" of some sort, having shared a post that read: "

    Not everything you lose is a loss. Some things are a freedom. Some things are a second chance. Some things are a miracle in disguise. Some things are a detachment long-needed, a clarity brought to blurry eyes. Some things are an intervention. Some things are the unexpected answer to a long- chanted prayer. Some things are a healing.

    "Some things are a becoming. Some things are planned long before you ever came to be. Some things are a devastation, but others are a kind of vital guidance, the kind of course-correction you did not even know you needed. The kind you did not even realize you were asking for all along."
