Joey Lawrence has become a dad for the third time - and the first time with wife Samantha Cope - as the pair welcomed a new baby girl to the world.

The Blossom star and the NCIS actress announced the birth of their daughter in a sweet Instagram post over the weekend, revealing they've named the tot Dylan Rose Lawrence.

Sharing a number of snaps to his social media account, the actor told his 277k followers: "1.16.23 ~ Dylan Rose Lawrence ~ Mom, Dad and big sisters are all so smitten with you sweet girl!

"We welcomed her into this world with the most amazing midwife, everyone is happy and healthy and we are overjoyed with gratitude. Wow what a beautiful journey. Thank you for all your continued love surrounding this beautiful new life! stay tuned for baby spam xoxo"

Among the adorable images was a shot of Joey gazing down at the newborn while new mum Samantha beamed with happiness beside him.

In a second, baby Dylan Rose is cutely wrapped up in a warm-looking fluffy blanket, while a third showed off the tot's tiny feet.

Fans and famous faces were quick to flock to the comments section to send congratulatory messages. Among those penning well wishes was actress Jen Lilley, who wrote: "Cutie pie!!!!! hope you’re recovering momma! You’re amazing!!"

Disney Channel star Christy Carlson Romano also said: "What perfection," while Joey's co-star on Melissa and Joey, Melissa Joan Hart simply sent three pink flower emojis.

The child is Samantha's first, while Joey shares daughters Charleston, 16, and Liberty, 12, with his ex-wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson.

Joey and Chandie called it quits in July 2020, with their divorce being finalised almost two years later.

Joey moved on in the meantime, proposing to Samantha in August 2021. The pair met on the set of My Husband's Secret Brother.

Joey announced the news on Instagram at the time, telling his followers: "Guess the cats outta the bag.

"We are beyond excited to see what the future holds for us and to know we will grow old and super wrinkly together is the ultimate blessing."

They tied the knot in February 2022 just as Joey's divorce was finalised.
