'Hot felon' Jeremy Meeks files for divorce from wife as romance with Chloe Green continues to heat up

Jeremy Meeks has filed for divorce from his estranged wife Melissa, according to US reports.

The 'hot felon' and mother of his child were still in a relationship when pictures of Jeremy and Topshop heiress Chloe kissing on a boat in Turkey surfaced online over the summer.

He had intially filed for separation from his wife of eight years shortly after the snaps emerged.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, the model has now filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

He is also asking for joint legal and physical custody of their seven-year-old son Jeremy Meeks Jr.

In Melissa's response to the filing, she is seeking spousal support and also asks to terminate the court's ability to award her estranged husband spousal support.

WIFE OF 'HOT FELON' JEREMY MEEKS SPEAKS ABOUT HIS AFFAIR WITH CHLOE GREEN

The filing comes after Melissa broke down on camera during an interview on US TV show Inside Edition while speaking about her estranged ex.

“I was in shock. I didn’t really know what to do,” she said.

Jeremy - who is said to be a member of the notorious crime gang Northside Gangster Crips - was jailed in 2015 but found fame when his mugshot was shared online.

Melissa said she was “happy” for the ex-convict to find fame - as he was signed to a modelling agency and began work as a model following his release.

“I was happy for him. Did I want him to succeed? Absolutely?”

However her world collapsed when Jeremy ran off with Chloe. Things weren't made easy with the pair being photographed partying and kissing in locations all over the world soon after.

"It wasn't an easy pill to swallow. This is not anything I expected ... I felt hurt. I felt betrayed,” Melissa said.“I believed in him, I believed in us. I truly thought this would have a happy ending. It didn't have a happy ending for me,” she added.

Becoming overwhelmed, Melissa walked out on the cameras during her Inside Edition appearance before returning to resume her interview once she had composed herself.

Meanwhile, back in August, Chloe and Jeremy sparked engagement rumours after she was spotted cuddling up to him with a huge diamond ring on her left hand.
