Joey Laurens‘s estranged wife, Samantha Copeposted a cryptic message about “loss” and “freedom” before filing for divorce.
“Not everything you lose is a loss. Some things are a freedom,” read the passage via Cope’s Instagram on June 11, the same month she claimed in court documents obtained by We weekly as the couple’s date of separation. “Some things are a second chance. Some things are a miracle in disguise. Some things are a detachment that has been needed for a long time, a clarity brought to bleary eyes.
The quote continued: “Some things are an intervention. Some things are the unexpected answer to a long-sung prayer. Some things are healing. Some things come into being. Some things have been planned long before you ever existed.”
The passage came from Brianna Wiest‘S 101 essays that will change the way you think book, which is intended as a self-help tool. “Some things are devastating, but others are a kind of vital guidance, the kind of course correction you didn’t even know you needed,” the quote concluded. “The kind you didn’t even know you were asking for all along.”

Alongside the quote, Cope, 37, shared a series of photos featuring her and Lawrence’s 19-month-old daughter, Dylan. Lawrence, 48, was not in any of the photos. “Favorites lately ⛅️ #summer #memories #babygirl #thankful,” Cope captioned the upload, which featured the mother-daughter duo smiling and playing music together.
Us confirmed on Wednesday, August 22, that Cope had filed for divorce from Lawrence after two years of marriage.
Cope is seeking sole physical custody of their daughter, according to court documents. She explained in the filing that she would be okay with Lawrence staying with Dylan for up to two nights a week once the little girl turned three. Cope also blocked the court’s ability to award spousal support.

Lawrence and Cope met on the set of Lifetime’s My husband’s secret brother after his divorce from ex-wife Chandie Yawn Nelson. Lawrence and Yawn-Nelson were married for 15 years before their divorce in July 2020. The exes share daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14.
Us exclusively broke the news in August 2021 that Lawrence and Cope were engaged. The couple married less than a year later in May 2022 and announced in September that Cope was pregnant with their first child.
The couple rejoiced in January 2023 when Dylan was born. “Mommy, daddy and big sisters are all so in love with you, sweet girl!” Lawrence and Cope wrote in a joint Instagram post at the time. “We welcomed her into this world with the most amazing midwife, everyone is happy and healthy and we are overjoyed with gratitude 🙏🏼🤍 wow what a beautiful journey. thank you for all your continued love surrounding this beautiful new life! stay tuned for baby spam xoxo.”
In March, Lawrence teased that he had been married “a billion times” because he was a “hopeless romantic.” He told it exclusively Us at the time: “It’s all about just trying to be happy. You have to be with the right person.”
