Wife of Hot Felon Jeremy Meeks ‘in shock’ after infidelity

The heartbroken estranged wife of ‘Hot Felon’ Jeremy Meeks, Melissa, opened up in an interview about her husband’s infidelity before she abruptly walked offstage.

‘I was in shock. I didn’t really know what to’ a saddened Melissa Meeks told Inside Edition when asked how she felt after being ditched by her man for his new billionaire girlfriend, Topshop heiress Chloe Green.

The mother-of-three was married to the ex-convict-turned model for eight years before they split suddenly after photos surfaced over the summer showing Jeremy locking lips with the 26-year-old daughter of Sir Philip Green on a yacht in Bodrum, Turkey.

Melissa said she stood by her hubby’s side when he went through a rough period in his life and was locked up in 2014 for possession of a firearm.

The felon’s face grew to fame when his attractive mugshot went viral over the internet and led to his newfound modeling career.

‘I was happy for him,’ Melissa said of Meeks before his rise to fame during the interview that aired Thursday. ‘Did I want him to succeed? Absolutely.’

The passionate pictures of the ‘Hot Felon’ and Green surfaced just days before Melissa’s birthday in July — which she shared to her Instagram page at the time.

Melissa said she already felt worried when Meeks initially found fame and started making more money.

‘You’ve heard stories. You’ve seen stuff happen,’ she told Inside Edition.

Just nine days after the scandal surfaced, Meeks filed for divorce to the mother of his children, when Melissa still loved him and admitted she still does.

‘It wasn’t an easy pill to swallow,’ Melissa revealed. ‘This is not anything I expected … I felt hurt. I felt betrayed.

‘I believed in him, I believed in us. I truly though this would have a happy ending. It didn’t have a happy ending for me.’

Melissa’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, told the newsmagazine her client simply wants what she is ‘legally entitled to’ from the messy divorce after months of feeling betrayed.

‘This is a woman who worked very hard behind the scenes, supporting her family, standing by him during his incarceration and even afterwards,’ Bloom told Inside Edition.

In recent months, Meeks hasn’t seemed too concern about the split from his wife of several years, as he’s been spotted out and about with Green on several occasions.

It was even rumored last month the new couple got engaged after Green flaunted a diamond ring on her finger in a series of Snapchat videos.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Green’s rep confirmed she is not engaged to Meeks.

‘Chloe is not engaged,’ her rep said when asked about the sappy social media posts.
