Love After Lockup is a reality TV show that follows the everyday lives of people who date former felons, their struggles, their journey, and, of course, the fights. The show is running its 5th season with 10 couples trying to make their relationship work regardless of each other pasts.
In a recent episode, a new couple - Jakeema and Donny, enters the show. Jakeema has two twin boys who are aware of their mother's boyfriend but are completely blindsided by their mother about his past. To make things better, Jakeema moved from Texas to Ohio with her kids. While she believed that this might be worth it, the fans disagreed.
