The couple divorced in 2020 after reportedly filing for bankruptcy in July 2017. After the divorce, Joey Lawrence met his current wife, Samantha Cope. Talking about their relationship before their marriage, Cope said during an interview:

"From day one, it was such a safe place to be myself. He loves everything about me and celebrates all those weird quirks about me. I was so blessed to be in a position to receive that. Two weeks in, I was like, 'I will be with you forever.'"

Lawrence also put forth his feelings in the same interview, as he said:

"When you meet the right person, if you're lucky enough, it cuts to the chase so quick. I have somebody who is like-minded and has the same love language and we communicate the same way. That's super important. And I am so thankful."

Following their wedding, the couple shared about Cope's pregnancy in September 2022.
