The life story of Jeremy Meeks

There is no need to emphasize how much social networks shape our lives today, and many world careers were born in ways that were once unimaginable. It was such a story that marked the life of a beauty from California who really got only the best out of prison. Yes, it is possible.

We all remember the famous prison photo from 2014 in which an unrealistically handsome man, with unrealistically blue eyes, posed. Many wondered if it was really a mugshot or maybe some kind of editorial because it was really impossible to believe that this beauty does not wear clothes of the most famous fashion names.

But still not. Namely,38-year-old Jeremy Meeks was arrested eight years ago as a member of the street gang 'Crips'.After the police arrested them in an operation they published their photos on the official Facebook page of the Stockton police station. The very next day, it was Jeremy’s photo that went viral, and there was no media outlet that didn’t write about the unknown guy. He was convicted of possession of a firearm and participating in grand theft, and after he was released from prison in 2016, he began a modeling career.

At the time of his arrest, he was married to his then long-term partner Melissa, with whom he had two children. After serving his sentence, fashion agencies began to chase after him. But so did other women also. Problems started in the marriage of the 'sexiest prisoner', and after ten years of marriage, divorce happened in 2018. And before he finalized the break-up process with his ex-wife that year, he had already begun seeing the heiress of the Topshop fashion empire - Chloe Green. Their relationship became public back in 2017, and they met at a gala dinner in Monaco.

They soon had a son, Jayden, and the love idyll quickly grew into a love failure. From the very beginning, few believed in the couple, and most were convinced that Meeks was taking advantage of Chloe for his own promotion. Still, the fact is that during their relationship, his fashion career flourished even more. Either way, the couple broke up in silence in 2019, and the public realized this because they were not seen together at all.

Over the years, Meeks has worn fashion shows of the biggest fashion houses, walked the red carpets in the company of world stars, and tried his hand at an acting career. This beautiful prisoner can certainly boast one of the most interesting career ascents, and it seems that in his case we can describe it as from gangs and crime to catwalks and luxuries.
