"❤️ love you," Cope wrote, while Lawrence responded, "love you so much baby ❤️."
Fans were left confused about whether the A Deadly Deed costars were actually back together or swooning over one another for the sake of publicity in line with the release of their new romantic comedy, as the film hit various streaming services on Tuesday, December 3.
"You're back together? After posting to the world what happened?" one fan questioned, referring to Cope publicly broadcasting her and Lawrence's breakup with a video of herself crying and the cheating allegations that were thrown toward her estranged husband.
"The confusion is level 10," a second social media user admitted. "We support you. We love a family reconciling, but is there no explanation? Not that you owe anything but since you put everything on social media, it’d be great just to find out what’s up lol."
Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope share daughter Dylan, who turns 2 years old in January.
A third critic complained: "But didn’t he claimed she was keeping him from spending time with his older daughters? How do you come back from that? Lol honestly whatever makes people happy but it was messy to air that dirty laundry so publicly."
Meanwhile, a supporter declared: "I'm not sure why people are confused. Sometimes people work things out. good for them. Merry Christmas and happy holidays."
While Lawrence and Cope share a baby girl named Dylan, who turns 2 years old in January, the Brotherly Love star is also a dad to his daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14, whom he shares with his ex-wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson.
