Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope Announce Birth of Son Ford Joseph

The birth caps a reconciliation after Cope moved to dismiss a 2024 divorce case.

Overview

  • The couple shared a joint Instagram post Thursday with photos and a video, noting their son arrived on April 6 over Easter weekend.
  • They revealed his name as Ford Joseph Lawrence and called him an “absolute blessing” in the caption.
  • The news follows a turbulent stretch that began with Cope’s August 2024 divorce filing and turned to a reunion after the case was dismissed in December 2024.
  • They later confirmed a pregnancy in November 2025, and Ford now joins their daughter, Dylan, in the household.
  • Lawrence also has two older daughters from a prior marriage, and the birth post—showing the baby being weighed and images from what looked like a water birth—underscores how stars now use social media to share family milestones.
