Tiger King sensation Joe Exotic, 61, has found love behind bars and is now engaged to a fellow inmate he met during his 21-year sentence.The notorious reality TV star, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, announced on Twitter on October 28 that he's planning to tie the knot with his prison partner, Jorge Marquez, aged 33.
In a heartfelt post, Joe shared a photo of them together and gushed: "Meet Jorge Marquez, he is 33. He is so amazing and is from Mexico.
