Jeremy Meeks was a former member of the notorious street gang, the Crips, and a convicted felon. Christened the “Hot Felon” by the internet, he first came to public attention after his arrest in 2014 during a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, California, and the police posted his mugshot on Facebook. As social media is won’t to do, his photo was shared until it became viral. He was convicted of federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and grand theft, and was sentenced to 27 months in prison. While incarcerated, he signed a modelling contract with White Cross Management. He debuted in New York Fashion Week in February 2017. Later that year, he walked for Philipp Plein in Milan Fashion Week and did a campaign for a company owned by Bar Rafaeli. In 2018, his son Jayden was born to Chloe Green, daughter of billionaire media mogul, Philip Green.
