Joe Exotic Engaged to Fellow Inmate Jorge Marquez

Joe Exotic, the infamous star of 'Tiger King', has announced his engagement to fellow inmate Jorge Marquez while serving a 21-year sentence at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth. Exotic, 61, shared the news on social media, describing Marquez, 33, as 'amazing' and expressing his desire to marry him while incarcerated. The couple has submitted their marriage application to the prison, hoping for approval by December 12. Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is also pursuing an appeal against his conviction for a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin. He has previously been married twice, including a tumultuous relationship with Dillon Passage, from whom he divorced earlier this year. Despite the challenges they face, Exotic remains optimistic about their future together and has requested a presidential pardon for himself and asylum for Marquez.
