Facts Jeremy Meek’s ex-wife
- marriage, relationship, friend
Melissa Meeks has been married twice. She was first married to a man whose last name is Ramirez. The former couple met when the nurse was still in college. Not much is known about their first marriage and the circumstances that led to their separation. However, it’s no secret that Melissa and Ramirez had two children prior to their split.
It was Melissa’s second attempt at marriage to her fame. While struggling to make ends meet as a single mom, she met and fell in love with Jeremy Meeks, an ex-con with compelling icy blue eyes. After dating for about a year, Melissa and Jeremy decided to take things up a notch. The lovebirds exchanged wedding vows in 2008 in a small ceremony arranged by a friend.
As long as it lasted, the Meeks’ marriage was marked by regular stints in prison. Before their marriage, Melissa’s husband had been serving a two-year sentence in 2002 for assaulting and injuring a child. After his release, Jeremy didn’t give up his illegal activities entirely. When he was married to Melissa, he was convicted of evading arrest during a police operation and of possessing a gun. Melissa and their three children, a devoted wife, eagerly waited for Jeremy while he served his 27-month sentence.Jeremy Meeks became a viral sensation in prison, following his hot mug shot. This was a turning point for the ex-con who caught the attention of Jim Jordan and landed a modeling deal with White Cross Management upon his release. Given his alluring looks, the “Hot Mugshot Guy” rose to fame as a model with great prospects. While Jeremy’s newfound fame should be a boon to his family, it seemed to be the opposite for Melissa Meeks, who started noticing negative changes in her husband.
The nurse’s suspicions were later confirmed when Jeremy was caught on camera by another woman identified as a billionaire Serb, Chloe Green. Jeremy and Chloe reportedly first met while the Hot Felon was starring for Phillip Plein at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2017. They secretly sparked a romance. However, their affair was publicly confirmed on one of Jeremy’s alleged work trips to Turkey after they were caught on camera.
As expected, the news of Jeremy’s infidelity was discouragement to Melissa Meeks, who had already sacrificed much and struggled to ensure the success of her marriage. The Turkey incident was the last straw for the nurse and sadly, she and Jeremy were officially divorced in June 2018 after ten years of marriage. As part of the divorce, both parents were given custody of their son, although Melissa received a higher custody percentage.
It was easy for Jeremy to move on with his new found Topshop heiress Chloe Green, but it wasn’t the same for Melissa Meeks. The sister and mother of two later found strength and chose not to wallow in self-pity.
Interestingly, she first decided to celebrate her freedom and transition from ex-con to ex-wife at a lingerie party in Las Vegas. Melissa Meeks made a life changing decision in her career. In a revenge album, she went under the knife to improve her physical appearance, including breasts, hips, and vagina tightening jobs, and then, like her ex-husband, began pursuing a modeling career.
Melissa Meeks seems to have really moved on. More recently, reports have surfaced suggesting a win-win situation for the nurse model-turned-model and her ex-felon husband, both of whom have seemingly bagged new billionaire lovers. While Jeremy is currently dating his heiress Chloe Green, Melissa is romantically linked to mogul Donald ‘DJ’ Friese, who is expected to inherit a huge chunk of his father’s $1.3 billion fortune. Like Melissa, DJ has been reclassified as single by Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills after splitting from his former girlfriend Brandi Glanville. However, Melissa later denied claims that she and billionaire Donald “DJ” Friese were an official point,
