What you didn’t know about Jeremy Meeks

Moving On Up

Melissa was still with Meeks during his newfound fame after his prison release. Melissa initially said that she found God after he got released. She then found him making large amounts of money after starting to model and walking down the catwalk during New York Fashion Week. He moved Melissa and their three children into a new luxury mansion in Los Angeles, California. Jeremy also started driving a sports car that cost $160,000! This was quite the transformation for the ex-convict.

In 2017, just a few months after getting out of prison, Meeks was already walking in multiple Fashion Week catwalks. Soon after, he was the face of a campaign for the Israeli sunglasses fashion house, Caroline Lemke. He appeared on billboards alongside models such as Bar Rafaeli. The campaign specifically made sure Meeks was very different from Bar Rafaeli and stated that “There has never been a mix like this.” It was clear that Meeks came from a different background than the Israeli supermodel. She is obviously an incredibly successful model, but Meeks wasn’t destined to become a model himself.
