Joey Lawrence has publicly denied allegations of an affair with his Socked in for Christmas co-star Melina Alves, while unveiling deeper issues within his marriage to Samantha Cope. The 48-year-old Hollywood icon took to Instagram on Thursday, August 29 to address rumors and express his « deep sense of responsibility » to clear the air.
In a lengthy statement, Lawrence explained that when he met the Whodunnit TV star, 41, he was in the midst of « a deeply troubled marriage » — one that « in my heart, I knew was beyond saving. »
« My short-lived marriage was fraught with difficulties from the beginning. Our differences became insurmountable », the father-of-three shared, alleging that « the unraveling of my marriage was tied to my realization that there was no way my two eldest daughters were ever going to be accepted by my wife to be part of my family. I cannot and will not compromise on the love and care that my daughters deserve, and this realization played a significant role in the breakdown of my relationship.
