Joey Lawrence’s co-star, Melina Alves, is denying allegations she had an affair with the actor after his wife, Samantha Cope, filed for divorce earlier this month.

"It is with a deep sadness and heavy heart that I must address the recent allegations about the relationship between myself and Joey Lawrence, which have unfortunately become a public matter," Alves began her post on Instagram. 

"As a private person, it is deeply distressing to see such personal and sensitive issues being discussed so openly and inaccurately.
