Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope expecting baby boy

Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope have revealed they are expecting a baby boy.

Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope are expecting a baby boy.

The Melissa and Joey actor and his wife – who are already parents to two-year-old daughter Dylan – revealed they were having another child earlier this month when they walked the red carpet at the 20th anniversary of Dancing with the Stars and now the pair have shared the sex of their unborn tot.

Alongside a series of family photos, including one of Dylan holding sonogram pictures while sitting on a horse, they wrote in a joint Instagram post: “Can’t wait to meet you baby boy [blue heart, angel and dove emojis] (sic)”

Samantha, 39, also shared a video on Instagram and wrote: “I’ll never be over this feeling. Thankful for our beautiful growing family [blue heart emoji] #gratitude.(sic)”

In the comments, Joey – who has daughters Charleston, 19, and 15-year-old Liberty with ex-wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson – wrote: “I love this so much. Love you most baby [blue heart emoji.”

The celebrations for Joey, 49, and his 38-year-old wife come less than a year after they reconciled.

Samantha had filed for divorce in August 2024 after just two years of marriage, but that December, they fuelled speculation they had got back together after sharing a string of pictures on Instagram, and later in the month, she filed to dismiss her divorce filing.

The pictures shared that month showed the couple together at an event for their new movie Marry Christmas, which was filmed two years ago.

Joey captioned the Instagram post: “I am beyond grateful [white heart emoji] I am beyond blessed [white heart emoji] I am galaxies beyond thankful.

“My heart is so full [red heart emoji] .”

One picture from the romantic post featured the pair – who have two-year-old daughter Dylan together – sharing a kiss with the words “My forever after” written underneath, while the other showed Joey and Samantha with their arms around one another.

And in the comments, Samantha shared a heart emoji and wrote: “love you (sic)”

Joey replied: “love you so much baby [red heart emoji] (sic)”

Samantha filed for divorce from Joey in August, citing irreconcilable differences and listing their date of separation as being two months before.

At the time, the actress sought to block the court’s ability to award either of them spousal support and 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”.

According to TMZ, Samantha also noted she does not want ” non-family members around Dylan while she’s visiting her father” unless she permitted it.
