Joey Lawrence and his wife, Chandie, are going their separate ways. The actor filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Friday, 360aproko confirms.
According to court documents obtained by 360aproko, Lawrence filed for divorce on July 14 in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. He is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two daughters — 14-year-old Charleston and 10-year-old Liberty — and is also asking to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support to his ex.
Back in 2017, Joey and Chandie jointly filed for bankruptcy.
The split news comes just two weeks after the couple celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. 360aproko has reached out to Joey’s rep for comment.
Joey and Chandie met as teenagers, when a then-16-year-old Joey was on vacation at Disney World in 1993. The actor went on to marry Michelle Vella in 2002, but they split in 2005. Soon after, he tied the knot with Chandie — at Disney World.
Meanwhile, Joey shared a touching post about his kids on Instagram in honor of Father’s Day in June.
“My reason for life. My greatest blessings. Being the father of these two amazing, strong, powerful young ladies (and Ofcourse my son pictured there in the middle..lol) has brought more joy and happiness into my life then I ever could have imagined,” he wrote. “God bless all the fathers out there who enjoy and share the same blessing of being a Dad. Our job as fathers is unparalleled and literally the most important and meaningful responsibility we ever could have. #happyfathersday#family #dad #dadlife #blessed#fathersday #2020.”
