Jeremy Meeks: From Prison to Fame.. and the Reason for His Avoidance of Relationships "For More Than 3 Years"

American star Jeremy Meeks, who became known as the "Hot Felon," revealed new details about his personal life and unique journey, confirming his exclusive focus on self-development and his avoidance of any romantic relationships that distract him from his goals.

In recent press statements during the premiere of the film Dutch III: International Gangster, Meeks surprised the audience by announcing his single status, which he has lived for years. He stated professionally: "I don't have a girlfriend, I have been avoiding relationships for about three years.. I don't want to get distracted".

These statements are linked to an important phase in his life, as the star prepares to release his anticipated memoir titled "Model Citizen: The Autobiography of Jeremy Meeks." The memoir reveals his extraordinary journey from a life of turmoil and gang membership to the ranks of movie stars and the fashion world.

In this context, Meeks explained in an interview with People magazine his motivations for writing his autobiography, saying: "I am at a stage in my life where I feel a great deal of vulnerability, and I want to share my complete story, hoping that people find inspiration in it and understand how I got to where I am today".

The roots of Meeks' global fame story date back to 2014, when the Stockton Police in California posted his mugshot on Facebook, describing him at the time as "one of the most dangerous criminals in the area." However, his sharp features and blue eyes turned the scales, as the photo attracted the attention of millions and garnered widespread attention with over 95,000 comments and 20,000 likes, earning him the title of "Hot Felon."

After serving 13 months of a 27-month sentence for possession of a firearm, he was inundated with modeling offers from around the world. After his release in 2016, his career took off at a tremendous pace, signing major contracts and appearing on the runway for "Philipp Plein" during Milan Fashion Week 2017. His achievements also included collaborations with the "Tommy Hilfiger" brand, participating in films such as Trigger (2020) and Secret Society (2021), and appearing in a music video for Russian singer Olga Buzova.

Behind the glamour of fame, Meeks' life carries a harsh past; he was born to parents addicted to heroin and lived a childhood overshadowed by poverty and violence. Today, after becoming a father of two and an internationally recognized face, he affirms that he seeks a stable and disciplined life, culminating in an amazing journey of transformation from darkness to light.
