Samantha Cope Seeks Custody After Divorce

Samantha Cope, recently estranged from husband Joey Lawrence, shared her emotional journey following their divorce filing on Instagram. In a heartfelt video montage, she embraced her tears as part of the healing process, encouraged by a friend's advice that each tear helps release pain and make room for new feelings. Cope filed for divorce on August 13, seeking sole physical custody of their daughter, Dylan, and has indicated she does not wish to receive spousal support. Amidst their separation, allegations surfaced that Lawrence may have been unfaithful, with claims of an affair involving screenwriter Melina Alves during the filming of 'Socked in for Christmas.' The couple's split comes after two years of marriage, with Cope reflecting on the emotional ups and downs of their relationship. Despite the turmoil, she humorously reminded her followers that 'the more you cry, the less you pee,' finding silver linings in the situation.
