Jeremy Ray Meeks (born February 7, 1984)[1] is an American fashion model. A former member of the Crips and a convicted felon, Meeks first came to prominence after his arrest in 2014 during a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, California,[2] after which police posted his mug shot on Facebook and it went viral. Meeks was convicted of federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and grand theft.[3] Upon his release from Mendota Federal Correctional Institution in March 2016,[4] Meeks began a modeling career.[5][6]
Early life[edit]
Meeks was born on April 7, 1984,[1] and is the son of Katherine Angier[7] and brother of Emery Meeks.[8]
In 2002, Meeks was charged with robbery and corporal injury to a child. Meeks had violently assaulted a 16-year-old boy when he was 18. After taking a plea deal, he was sentenced to serve two years in a California prison, during which he admitted to claiming the North Side Gangster Crips. His mugshot went viral leading him to modeling contracts after he got out of prison.[9]
Modeling career[edit]
While still in prison and serving a 27-month sentence, Meeks, dubbed 'hot felon' by the media, was discovered by Jim Jordan and signed a modeling contract with White Cross Management.[10]
During New York Fashion Week in February 2017, Meeks made his runway debut.[11] After his appearance, Vogue magazine described him as a 'buff bad boy'.[12]
In June 2017, he was on the catwalk during Milan Fashion Week, walking for German fashion designer Philipp Plein.[13]
In August 2017, Meeks appeared in a campaign for Israeli sunglasses fashion house Carolina Lemke, partially owned by Bar Refaeli.[14] The campaign tagged Meeks' background as different than Refaeli's, who appeared in the campaign alongside Meeks, stating, 'There has never been a mix like this.'[15]
Music videos[edit]
In 2018, he appeared in the music video WiFi by Russian pop singer Olga Buzova.[16][17]
Personal life[edit]
Jeremy Meeks has a child with Melissa Meeks, who he was married to from 2008 to 2018.[18]In June 2017, it was reported that Meeks is in a “relationship” with Chloe Green, the daughter of businessman Philip Green. On March 29, 2018, Green gave birth to the couple's first son, Jayden Meeks-Green.[19] Green's relationship with Meeks officially ended in August 2019, after she was photographed being physically intimate with Monte Carlo polo captain Rommy Gianni.[20]
