The Socked In for Christmas star, 48, seemingly hard-launched his reconciliation with the actress, 37, on Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

He posted a pair of sweet photos posing with his estranged wife at an event for their new romantic comedy, Marry Christmas, which was filmed two years ago.

"I am beyond grateful 🤍I am beyond blessed🤍I am galaxies beyond thankful," Joey wrote alongside the snaps of him and Cope, adding, "My heart is so full ❤️."

The two also swooned over one another, with Cope commenting on the post, "❤️ love you," to which Lawrence replied, "love you so much baby ❤️."

Marry Christmas stars Lawrence, Cope, Lawrence's famous brothers Andrew Lawrence and Matthew Lawrence, as well as Brooke Ann Smith and Dash Lopez.

Earlier this week, Cope shared behind-the-scenes pictures of the film on Instagram, where her character, wearing a baby bump and wedding gown, hugged Joey's character.

"You’re the best ❤️," Joey wrote in the comments section.

A representative for Lawrence did not immediately respond to PEOPLE.

During the Aug. 30 episode of his podcast The Brotherly Love Pod, Joey discussed life after Cope's filing, as well as allegations that he had an affair with his Socked in for Christmas costar Melina Alves.

“This has been a multifaceted journey these four [or] five years. Actually, there was a lot of pain in that journey despite public perception and what it looks like [on social]," he said in part.
