Joey Lawrence Denies Affair With Costar in Pointed Statement About Divorce
broke his silence on his divorce from wife — and denied having an affair with his Socked in for Christmas costar .
“With a deep sense of responsibility, I want to respond to the recent allegations surrounding my personal life, including my divorce and the claims of an affair with Melina Alves,” Lawrence, 48, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, August 29. “Melina and I became close friends and I did not have a physical relationship with her while filming the movie Socked in for Christmas. These rumors are false. Our bond was based on shared experiences and an understanding of the challenges we were both facing in our personal lives.”
Lawrence went on to claim that his marriage was already “deeply troubled” by the time he met Alves.
“I was clinging to the hope that I could save a relationship that, in my heart, I knew was beyond saving,” he wrote. “My short-lived marriage was fraught with difficulties from the beginning. Our differences became insurmountable.”
Courtesy of Samantha Cope/InstagramAccording to Lawrence, his marriage to Cope, 37, was “unraveling” because of the “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.”
