Joey shot to fame in the 90s sitcom Blossom, which saw him become a pin-up for teenagers around the world.

The show was a huge hit and saw the actor play Blossom’s hapless brother, who was also called Joey.

Thanks to his heartthrob status, the star launched a pop career and had a Top Ten hit with Nothin’ My Love Can’t Fix.

After Blossom ended, which starred Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik in the title role, he starred in another sitcom called Brotherly Love with his real-life siblings.

Joey’s next big show was Melissa and Joey, which he co-starred in with Sabrina The Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart.

Joey met wife Samantha while working on a Lifetime movie called A Deadly Deed in 2020.

They got engaged the following year and tied the knot in May 2022.

The couple then welcomed their daughter Dylan the following January.

However, in 2024, Samantha filed for divorce.

The actress cited “irreconcilable differences” as her reason for the split, according to TMZ.

However, they revealed last year that they had got back together and were expecting another baby.

Joey has been married twice before meeting Samantha.

The star also wed Michelle Vella, but that marriage ended in 2005 after just three years.

The star married Chandie Lawrence at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, in 2005.

The couple was married for nearly 15 years and had two children – daughters Charleston and Liberty – together.

He filed for divorce from Chandie in July 2020.

The three-time wed star previously discussed his views on marriage, with Joey admitting to Page Six that he’s a “hopeless romantic.”

“My wife jokes with me, ‘You’ve been married 100 times.’ You just try to find happiness, you know? I wish there was a book because I’m a hopeless romantic,” he told the outlet.

Joey added: “And I just wish there was some way to just guarantee that things would work out the way you thought.”
