It seems that Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope might be mending their relationship. The 48-year-old star of "Socked In for Christmas" seemingly took a significant step towards reconciliation with the 37-year-old actress on Instagram on December 4th. He posted a pair of charming photos of himself with his estranged wife at an event for their new romantic comedy, "Marry Christmas", which was filmed two years ago.

Love in the Spotlight

In the first photo, Lawrence is seen with his hand around Cope's waist, while her hand rests on his chest. The second snapshot captures a tender moment as the two share a kiss, with the words "My forever after" written beneath. Their mutual affection is evident as Cope commented on the post with "love you", to which Lawrence replied, "love you so much baby".

Behind the Scenes

Earlier this week, Cope shared some behind-the-scenes pictures of the film on Instagram. In one, her character, wearing a baby bump and wedding gown, is seen hugging Joey's character. Joey's comment in the comments section, "You're the best", shows the warmth between them.

Life After Divorce Filing

Cope filed for divorce from Lawrence in August after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. During the August 30 episode of his podcast "The Brotherly Love Pod", Joey discussed life after the filing and the allegations of an affair with his "Socked in for Christmas" costar Melina Alves. He said, "This has been a multifaceted journey these four [or] five years. Actually, there was a lot of pain in that journey despite public perception and what it looks like [on social]. Life will move on and we will move through this. And my children will be at the forefront."

Family Ties

The two got married in May 2022 and share daughter Dylan, who turns 2 next month. Joey also has daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14, from his previous marriage to Chandie Yawn-Nelson. "Marry Christmas" is now available for digital purchase and rental, allowing fans to enjoy this romantic story.
