Joey and Matthew Lawrence
The two eldest Lawrence brothers appeared alongside their younger sibling, Andrew Lawrence, in Brotherly Love from 1995 to 1997. While Andrew blossomed into a heartthrob, he was just a child during the show’s airing. Joey, who portrayed Joe Roman, and Matthew, who played Matt Roman, were the main attractions of the show.
Joey has since graced screens in American Dreams, Run of the House, Half & Half, Melissa & Joey, and Hawaii Five-0. His notable films include Hitched for the Holidays, Roe v. Wade, The Office Mix-Up, Mistletoe Mixup, and Pardoned by Grace. He is also involved in producing and directing projects. Joey was married to Michelle Vella from 2002 to 2005. He tied the knot with Chandie Yawn-Nelson in 2005 but filed for divorce in 2020. The former couple has two daughters, Charleston and Liberty. In August 2021, Us confirmed his engagement to actress Samantha Cope, whom he married in May 2022. Joey welcomed his first child, daughter Dylan, with Cope in January 2023. Though Cope filed for divorce in August 2024, they reconciled soon after.
Matthew, for his part, portrayed Jack Hunter on Boy Meets World from 1997 to 2000. He later appeared in titles such as The Hot Chick, The Dog Who Saved Easter, Desperate Waters, Better Than Love, and Mistletoe Mixup. He made his producing debut with the 2021 film A Deadly Deed. The Mrs. Doubtfire actor married Cheryl Burke in 2019, but Us confirmed in February 2022 that the Dancing With the Stars professional filed for divorce after nearly three years of marriage. In November 2022, Matthew began dating Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.
