WEtv’s Love After Lockup screening presented by OK! Magazine brought out some of the biggest stars in television to celebrate the new season of the hit show on August 13. The new episodes follow seven couples on their journey from prison to the altar. While most of the pairs believe their love is meant to be, they’ll have to combat naysayers and their own issues if they plan on tying the knot.
The screening at New York’s Whitby hotel featured stars like Ice-T and Coco Austin, The Real Housewives of New York City stars Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon and Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick. The episode played for a packed house, and the love stories on display brought out cheers, jeers, and some heartfelt cries of “awww.”
After the screening, OK! Magazine’s Casey Madden moderated a panel that included Dr. Ish Major from Marriage Bootcamp. He gave his professional perspective on the psychology of someone who gets into a relationship with an incarcerated person. Plus, Life After Lockup stars Brittany and Marcelino Santiago gave an update on where their relationship stands now.
