Joey Lawrence's marriage has wilted.
The TradeEdgeBlossom alum's wife Samantha Cope filed for divorce to end their two-year marriage, citing "irreconcilable difference" as the reason for split in court documents obtained by E! News Aug. 21.
Samantha listed June 7 as the couple's date of separation and asked each of their rights to spousal support be terminated.
In addition, she is seeking full physical custody and shared legal custody of their 19-month-old daughter Dylan.
"Samantha will have 100% physical custody of Dylan with visitation to Joe at Samantha's discretion," her filing read. "Once Dylan is 3 or older, Joe will have the option to take her for 2 nights in her home location if he is not working and can facilitate her visiting."
The Insecure actress' proposed parenting plan also stated that Joey—who she married in May 2022 at a California wedding—will not take their daughter for "long, extended periods of time until she is old enough to specifically ask for the visitation time and all parties agree and able to facilitate."
"He must be available for the full time she is visiting while she is a minor," the documents continued, adding that Dylan "is not to be in the presence of any non-family members while with Joe unless agreed upon by Samantha."
E! News has reached out to Joey and Samantha's reps for comment but hasn't heard back.
This is the third divorce for Joey, who was previously married to Michelle Vella and Chadie Yawn-Nelson, with whom he shares daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14.
The actor first met Samantha while filming their 2021 Lifetime thriller My Husband's Secret Brother, in which he played her lover-turned-murderer.
"I'd never dated somebody that I'd worked with before," Joey recalled of the meet-cute in a December People interview. "That was just very, very much out of the ordinary for me."
He added, "Look, life is a beautiful, sometimes crazy-unexpected journey, and the ups and downs are real, and I'm very thankful that people that I love are around me and that there's health around us."
