Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope aren’t closing the door on second chances.
On their first Christmas as a reunited couple, the Blossom alum, 48, and Cope, 37, shared a joint Instagram post that featured their romantic beach photo shoot and a saying about being open to the unexpected.
“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable. Mary Oliver,” the quote read in the caption.
The post included photos of the pair embracing and gazing into each other’s eyes on a beach as they shared tender moments on the shore.
The following day, Lawrence paid tribute to his wife by reposting a black and white photo of Cope in Marry Christmas to his Instagram Stories alongside Prince’s “The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.”
“#MyWifeIsBeautiful,” he wrote over the photo. “I am the luckiest husband alive.”
On Dec. 1, Cope signed a motion to dismiss the petition to divorce she filed in August, less than a week after Lawrence revealed that the formerly estranged couple had reunited in a post shared on Instagram.
“I am beyond grateful 🤍I am beyond blessed🤍I am galaxies beyond thankful 🤍 My heart is so full ❤️,” he captioned a picture of the two at the premiere of their movie, Marry Christmas. The post also included a kissing selfie, which he wrote “My forever after” over.
Lawrence and Cope got married on May 1, 2022, at the Temecula Creek Inn in Temecula, California, after meeting on the set of Lifetime’s My Husband’s Secret Brother in 2021. Shortly after, the two announced they were expecting their first child — Lawrence’s third — in September and welcomed their daughter Dylan in January 2023.

At the time, Alves released a statement to her Instagram where she denied having any “sexual relationship” with Lawrence while filming their Christmas movie.
“Our relationship was a meaningful friendship that developed naturally due to the many similarities in our personal situations,” she said in her statement, adding that they bonded over their troubled marriages.
