Although the details of their reconciliation remain unclear, insiders say the rekindling happened recently, and their bond has been significantly rebuilt. Joey hinted at the reunion with a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday night, sharing a photo of the couple and expressing gratitude, saying he is "galaxies beyond thankful." Samantha responded with a heart emoji and a sweet "love you" in the comments, signaling their relationship is back on track.
Their reunion comes as a surprise, considering Samantha filed for divorce less than four months ago. At the time, she requested full physical custody of their daughter, with Joey’s visits requiring her approval. Complicating matters were allegations that Joey had an affair with Melina Alves, the writer of his movie Socked in for Christmas. Melina’s husband claimed their relationship turned romantic in March, but Joey denied the accusations, stating their connection was purely emotional and based on shared experiences.
Adding to the drama, Joey had previously claimed Samantha struggled to accept his two children from a previous relationship, a statement he later removed from social media.
While the couple has yet to comment publicly on their reunion, it seems they’re determined to leave their rocky past behind and move forward together.
