Stars What “the most beautiful criminal in the world” looks like today.

Mix was born into a dysfunctional family. His parents were drug addicts and his father went to prison for murder when Jeremy was nine months old. At the age of 15, Meeks ran away from home, but life on the streets soon led him to criminal gangs and he was sent to a juvenile colony.

“Being in juvenile detention forced me to adapt to violence. I didn’t have a proper education and I was reading probably in the fifth grade when I got to prison.’Meeks recalled.

In 2002, Meeks was charged with robbery and assault on a child – assaulting a 16-year-old boy when he was 18. He served nine years at the infamous San Quentin State Penitentiary, a maximum security prison that housed some of America’s worst criminals. So at some point, Charles Manson was a fellow inmate of Meeks.

After his release in 2014, Meeks again found himself in trouble with the law. He was arrested for criminal possession of a weapon. After the arrest, the now famous photo was taken.

In prison, Meeks began receiving 300 letters a day, people sending him money hidden in books. While incarcerated, Meeks received 45 modeling and film contracts.

“I had just gotten out of federal prison and was in the spotlight. And my life changed completely.”Meeks later recalled.

After his release, the former criminal actually became a model and starred in several films. Meeks is currently preparing an autobiography for publication and is already in talks to make the memoir into a movie.

Jeremy has two biological sons. Meeks was married to Melissa Meeks from 2008 to 2018. They had a son, Jeremy Jr. Meeks also became a stepfather to his wife’s first two children from a previous marriage, a son and a daughter.

In 2017, Meeks began an affair with Topshop heiress Chloe Green, after which he divorced his wife. In May 2018, the couple had a son, Jayden Meeks-Green, but already in 2019, the lovers broke up.

Today, Mix remains a media personality – attending social events, appearing in TV shows and films, and giving interviews.
