She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and also asked for full custody of their daughter.

Cope stated in documents obtained by We weekly which will allow Dylan to stay with Joey two nights a week when he turns three.

But as for Joey having extended visits with her daughter, Samantha said she wants to wait until Dylan “is older and can consent to such visits.”

Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, Lawrence was accused of having an affair with his co-star and fellow actress, Melina Alves. The couple is set to appear in the upcoming film, Socked In For Christmas.

The affair allegedly took place in California, as well as “at other times and places,” Rider said.

A source recently said People that Joey ‘love bombed’ Melina, something he also did with Samantha.

“Joey met Melina Alves on the set of his movie, where she was a producer,” the source explained. Melina is also the screenwriter and took on the role of Addy in the upcoming Christmas movie.

“He then love-bombed her, just like he did with Samantha. He continued dating Melina even after Samantha found out and confronted him.”

The source said Cope had wanted to attend couples therapy, but Joey “fooled his counselor” and still “prepared for dates with Melina while Sam watched, crying her eyes out.”

A few months earlier, on June 11 (just days after their planned split date), Cope shared a cryptic post on Instagram, possibly hinting at the split.

In addition to posting photos of herself with her daughter, Dylan, Samantha also included a quote from Brianna Wiest.

He said, “Not everything you lose is a loss. Some things are freedom. Some things are a second chance. Some things are a miracle in disguise.”

“Some things are a long-needed detachment, a clarity brought to clouded eyes. Some things are an intervention. Some things are an unexpected answer to a long-sung prayer.”

“Some things are healing. Some things are transformational. Some things were planned long before you existed.”

The quote also read: “Some things are devastating, but others are a kind of virtual guidance, the kind of course correction you didn’t even know you needed. The kind of correction you didn’t even realize you were asking for all along.”
