Gerardo Mora/Getty NEED TO KNOW Joey, Matthew and Andrew Lawrence costarred in the hit sitcom Brotherly Love, beginning in 1995 The series, which ended in 1997, followed the real-life brothers playing fictional siblings All three brothers have continued working together and co-host the Brotherly Love Podcast Brothers Joey, Matthew and Andrew Lawrence became the heartthrobs of the 1990s and 2000s after they starred together on Brotherly Love. The hit sitcom, which premiered on Sept. 16, 1995, followed Joey as Joe Roman, the oldest brother of his family who reunites with his younger half-brothers, played by Matthew and Andrew, after their father dies. Nearly 30 years after the show premiered, the brothers reunited at 90s Con and reflected on "the family unit" they had both on and off the show. "Our parents are great," Joey said in September 2024. "We had our grandparents with us a lot and we really had a large group that was constantly traveling and insulating and made it about the work. The work was primarily a hobby, treated like travel baseball or sports for a lot of kids. It was never life." After the series ended with season 2 in 1997, the three brothers continued working both together and separately. They formed a band aptly titled Still Three, costarred in the 2021 holiday flick Mistletoe Mixup and began co-hosting the Brotherly Love Podcast — proving that nothing is stronger than a bond shared among siblings who just get each other. From documenting their life growing up in the industry to collaborating in front of and behind the camera, here's what the famous Lawrence brothers — Andrew, Joey and Matthew — have been up to since Brotherly Love ended 30 years ago.

After his success on Brotherly Love, Joey made it to the top three on Dancing with the Stars in 2006 before getting eliminated. In 2009, he starred alongside Melissa Joan Hart in the TV movie My Fake Fiancé, which became so successful it inspired a sitcom, Melissa & Joey, starring both actors. Matthew and Andrew even guest-starred on the show. In July 2017, Joey ran into financial trouble. He and his then-wife, Chandie Yawn-Nelson, filed for bankruptcy, but less than a year later, in March 2018, the couple settled their case. In July 2020, Joey filed for divorce from Yawn-Nelson after nearly 15 years together. They share two daughters, Liberty and Charleston. Two years after filing for divorce, Joey wed actress Samantha Cope, with whom he costarred in the Lifetime movie My Husband's Secret Brother. They welcomed a daughter named Dylan Rose in January 2023. Cope filed for divorce in August 2024, but she dismissed the filing four months later.

Joey also appeared on The Masked Singer in November 2022, later discussing with PEOPLE about working with Matthew and Andy just before the launch of their Brotherly Love Podcast. "We did a Christmas movie for Amazon called Mistletoe Mixup, and we're shooting a sequel to that right now, which will be out [Christmas 2024] for Amazon," he said. "I think the fans have really been driving it. They've been begging us to do stuff together, and it's really neat to come back together and do this again." Since then, Joey and his brothers have co-hosted their jointpodcast and shared clips on Instagram and TikTok, as well as silly videos of themselves on their individual accounts. "It's just dinner table conversation," he told The Blast of their podcast. "I think that's really what people are kind of responding to. We're not a specific show." Matthew Lawrence

After that, the actor snagged a role inThe Hot Chick (2002) and even reprised his BMW role on the show's reboot, Girl Meets World, in 2015. Off-screen, Matthew tied the knot with Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke in May 2019, but they finalized their divorce in September 2022. That same year, Matthew started dating TLC member Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, and they have since gone on double dates with Joey and Cope. While Matthew has pursued solo projects, his true passion lies in collaborating with his brothers. "It was nice for all of us to know that we have our own little things going on, but we quickly realized, 'Man, we just wish we were doing it together,' " he told Laughing Place in June 2023. "And then becoming adults. That's the purpose. That's the goal now. Let's just try to get as much stuff going together as possible. We love each other. There's nobody else that we'd rather do it with. At this point in life, it's just a hell of a lot more fun."

Aside from focusing on his music career — even showcasing his musicianship on Instagram — and starring on Brotherly Love, Andy also appeared in the Disney movie The Other Me and on CBS' Hawaii Five-0. Disney fans will also recognize the star's voice as that of T.J. Detweiler from Recess. He was also featured in Better Than Love (2019) with Matthew and starred alongside Joey in Frankie Meets Jack (2023), which he also directed. Andrew continues to work with his siblings on the Brotherly Love Podcast. "[The reason] why I was so excited about this podcast is because it was an excuse for me to sit around a table and talk with my brothers and get to hang out with them," he told Entertainment Tonight in June 2023. "It's something I really enjoy in life." In August 2024, the actor told PEOPLE that he had brought his girlfriend, Brittany McGowan, on vacation with his family. A year later, the couple attended Comic-Con together. (责任编辑:) |
