AFTER ONE YEAR of writing to each other via a prison pen pal service, Bleu and Jay decided to tie the knot. The pair were first introduced by Bleu's friend, who had been writing to another inmate living in the same pod as Jay. At first, Bleu was skeptical. "I didn't grow up as a little girl and be like, Oh, I want to be with an inmate. Like, that sounds so cool," Bleu said. "So when they introduced us, I was not for it. And we ended up falling in love." After getting married in secret, Bleu gave her parents the news over the phone and it didn't go down well. "My biggest regret when getting married was the fact that my parents weren't there," Bleu added. "I told them over the phone because I was scared of looking them in the eye and seeing the disappointment in my dad's face." Now the couple are planning and dreaming about their future together in the hope of Jay getting released once he's eligible for parole in four years' time. Bleu's decision to stay with Jay has been met with a lot of criticism, from close family to strangers online. Bleu said: "Yes, I know my relationship is a little unconventional, considering where my husband is. I know where the stereotypes that come in with it lie. But ultimately, I love him genuinely, and I know he loves me just as much, if not more."
