Joe Exotic is making moves from prison – or at least he is trying. Joe married his current husband Dillon five years ago, but he wants to end his marriage for a new man. 

Will the third time be a charm?

Joe met his latest lover, John, in prison last year. John served 11 years and was released a few weeks ago unexpectedly. 

The Tiger King star is in prison but regularly posts to social media, including his Instagram. A couple of weeks ago, he shared a picture of John and called him “The Man, the Myth, the Legend.”

TMZ reports that Joe’s attorney revealed Joe met his new man John in February 2021 at a prison in Fort Worth, Texas. John was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2012 for possessing a firearm and burglary. 

John secured a prison release a few weeks ago, an event that affected Joe Exotic.

This will be Joe’s third marriage.

I also want feedback from you guys and ideas. But stay tuned and I’ll keep you updated on when I’m going to go Live. Have a good Sunday.”

Prior to his marriage to Dillon, Joe was married to Travis Maldonado. Travis died after accidentally shooting himself. Joe shared a loving post on Instagram in memory of Travis’ birthday this month.

The Tiger King star referenced his new boyfriend, John in the post.
