Love After Lockup success story Lindsey Downs has shockingly gotten engaged, and fans are clamoring to find out the backstory. The single mother has been featured on several seasons of the hit WeTV series and subsequent spin-off, Life After Lockup. So, who is she marrying? Keep reading for more details.
Lindsey Downs’ Shocking Engagement
Love After Lockup fans met Lindsey Downs when she was released from prison and dating the much older Scott Bradshaw. Things took a turn when she carved into his desk, and she was placed back in jail. She then returned with co-star Daonte Sierra, who was there when she was rereleased. Unfortunately for him, he did not seem to care that she was focused on building herself up and her daughter, Miley. Lindsey was living with her close friend, Blaine Bailey, who helped her get work and on her feet. They fell for each other, and she even proposed to him, but it became far too toxic.
Lindsey has stayed stable by working and graduating from college, raising her teenage daughter, Miley. She then shared that she had a girlfriend but never revealed who it was. Now, she has announced her engagement to a man named Chad Booker. She showed off her stunning ring alongside her new man, even kissing him in a clip. Lindsey wrote this in the caption alongside her engagement reveal:
- To peace, to healing, to a man who actually shows up. 🩷 Life did a 180 and somehow gave me the softest love after the hardest battles.
The Love After Lockup star was beaming as she shared her big news. Fans immediately had a lot of questions about who this person was and expressed their confusion. Again, many believed that she was involved with a woman, so this was a definite plot twist. However, many of Lindsey’s followers were immensely supportive as they loved how far she had come. Her life has changed, as has she so they only wanted the best life.
Meet Lindsey’s Fiancé
Although many Love After Lockup fans were thrilled with Lindsey Downs’ big news, there is a lot more to the story. Who exactly is Chad Booker? This is a great question, as she has had some questionable relationships and has come incredibly far. Therefore, no one wanted her to make a bad decision and backslide. As it turns out, Lindsey’s new man has a past, including manslaughter charges. The forty-one-year-old was charged with manslaughter in 2007 and was sentenced to twenty years, with ten years suspended.
It is unclear how Love After Lockup fans will react to this. More so, is there a chance that Lindsey will come on social media and clear up the misconceptions around Chad? That is yet to be seen, but for the time being, her followers noted how Lindsey is glowing:
- You look happy girlie that’s all that matters
- Congrats! You deserve it!!! Many blessings! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
- Soo happy for you girl and proud of you! If he has any single friends send them my way lol. Love ya! 😍❤️
One thing that some noted was that Chad had changed or deleted his social media so he may not want the attention. Either way, she is happily engaged, and has no problem sharing it with the world.
