Joey Lawrence and newly wedded wife of the past four months, Samantha Cope, announced they are expecting their first child together.
“The blessings just keep on coming. Proud of you babe! 🖤 Baby Lawrence on the way!” the actor, 46, announced Wednesday with an Instagram snap where he caressed Cope’s baby bump while posing on the beach.
“Ohh hi baby daddy 🥰❤️❤️,” Cope, 35, replied in the comments, to which Lawrence added, “😏.”
Cope told the world, her good news of becoming pregnant, on her private Instagram account with a reel compilation full of reactions from loved ones.
“It’s been fun getting to know you so far little one! We are so blessed!” she captioned the clip.
The couple’s little bundle of joy is Cope’s first child and Lawrence’s third. Lawrence shares daughters Liberty (12) and Charleston (16), with his ex-wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson.
Lawrence and Cope married in May 2022 at an outdoor ceremony at Temecula Creek Inn in Temecula, Calif. Lawrence’s brothers, Matt and Andy, were present for the nuptials.
“It just feels so right,” Lawrence said at the time. “Life can be challenging at times, but when God gives you the right person, it’s worth it.
“When you meet the right person, if you’re lucky enough, it cuts to the chase so quick,” he added. “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.”
