In August 2021, Joey Lawrence again made headlines, but, this time, for happy news: He popped the question to his girlfriend of one year, actress Samantha Cope, who joyfully accepted. The engagement announcement came about a year after filing for divorce from his previous wife, Chandie Yawn-Nelson, as Us Weekly was the first to report.
Interestingly, the actor met his bride-to-be on the set of a Lifetime movie directed by his youngest brother, Andrew Lawrence. "Out of nowhere, you know, it was a crazy year and a half for everybody, obviously the whole world," the elder Lawrence brother said. "Then when you least expect [it,] amazing things happen and meeting her has just been really the greatest thing ever." He elaborated to the news outlet what it was like to meet his fiancée during this "crazy" year: "Last year, 2020 was really something. And when you least expect it ... you literally meet the perfect person for you." While we're happy for him, we bet his new marriage might make some changes to his financial situation. After all, weddings cost money!
The former "Blossom" star has had a lot to contend with over the past several years: financial woes, a divorce, and now a wedding on the horizon. For now, the actor seems to be more excited than anything else. "There's a lot of stuff going on," he told Us Weekly, "which we'll talk about soon, but yeah, it's a lot of great stuff."
