Joey Lawrence and wife Samantha Cope are having a baby boy.

Blossom actor Joey Lawrence and his wife, Samantha Cope, are expecting a baby boy after calling off their divorce. Lawrence, 49, who is known for his role as Joey Russo in the 1990s sitcom Blossom, and Cope announced the news on Wednesday while walking the red carpet. “This is not planned. No, I’m kidding. I’m kidding,” Lawrence joked as Cope chimed in, “Yeah, a boy. Our first boy.” This will be the fourth child for Lawrence and second for Cope. The couple shares 2-year-old daughter, Dylan. The news comes after the pair filed for divorce in August 2024, only to reconcile four months later. At the time, Lawrence was accused of having an affair with Malina Alves, his Socked In For Christmas co-star. Following their reconciliation, the actor told E! News that he had worked hard to repair their relationship, saying, “There’s something so special.” Lawrence and Cope, an actress on NCIS, began their romance after they met on the set Lifetime movie My Husband’s Secret Brother.
