Joseph Lawrence Mignogna Jr. is an
American actor, musician, singer-songwriter, record producer and game show
host. This multi-talented personality recently announced his engagement with
girlfriend Samantha Cope. Samantha Cope is an actress popularly known for Where
Are You, Bobby Browning.

Joey openly expressed his love for Samantha telling page 6 how
amazing his journey of falling for Samantha was.

Although it was unknown when the couple — who met on the set of
Lawrence’s younger brother’s Lifetime movie last year — became engaged, the
actor casually mentioned Cope as his fiancée during a recent interview with us.

“When you least expect
it, obviously, is like when it usually works right in between all the plans
that we make,” the “SWIM” star said, gushing about his soon-to-be bride. “And I
just met the most amazing person ever. Like your best friend and that person
you really do share pretty much everything in common with.”

Lawrence, 45,
continued, “I know when you grow up, you always hear about opposites attract.
But as we get older we realize you really do have to grow old with your best
pal because there are so many areas in life where, you know, it will tear you
apart if you’re not.”

Lawrence revealed that
the duo has written a romantic comedy together, which will begin production
this year , despite not having any details about the upcoming wedding.

The announcement of
the “Blossom” alum’s engagement to Cope, 34, comes little over a year after he
divorced Chandie Lawrence post 15 years of marriage. With Chandie, he has two
children, 15-year-old Charleston and 11-year-old Liberty.

Charleston is
presently acting in the film “SWIM,” which follows a family stuck in
their storm-flooded vacation rental who are compelled to keep relocating to
higher levels in order to escape a hungry — you got it — shark that has
infiltrated their home.

It’s a pleasant
frolic, according to Lawrence, that will ideally give “some
escapism” for viewers who can tune in and “forget about all the
everyday news that overwhelm us.”
