Season 5 of Love After Lockup will show this couple facing a tough financial time. Ashley wants to hire Travis, who is a band robber, at her jewelry store but is having issues trusting him. In addition, Travis will be seen becoming uneasy about Ashley's neighbor, who has repeatedly flirted with Ashley.

Gabby and Chris from Union, New Jersey

Fans might remember Chris from Love After Lockup season 1 because he received huge settlement money from a prison civil suit against a prison guard who failed to protect him from an attack. Because of their previous issues, Chris and Gabby's families will be seen as concerned about their relationship.

Shortly after his release from prison, Chris will marry Gabby, much to the disappointment of Gabby’s family. However, as already reported in the news, Chris will go to jail again after punching Gabby in the face. In a TikTok video made after the attack, Gabby was seen with a chipped tooth and a neck brace.

Justine and Michael from Johnstown, Pennsylvania

Justine and Michael married each other in prison on August 5, 2022. The pair will now be seen living together as a married couple. Michael might have some difficulty trying to connect with Justine’s three children. Justine will also face some difficulty bonding with Michael’s four kids. Aside from that, Michael will try to resume his rap career, but Justine will worry about him getting into bad habits that might land him in jail again.

Monique and Derek from Chicago, Illinois

Monique saw Derek’s photo several times in a pen pal Facebook group and decided to reach out to him in prison. Derek was impressed with Monique, and the pair started their relationship two years ago via the same platform. Despite being together for a long time, the pair have not met in person.

This will cause problems for the couple as Monique has not been honest with Derek about being involved in fitness, which is a very big deal for fitness enthusiast Derek. In Love After Lockup season 5, Monique plans to undergo weight loss surgery for Derek.

Nathan and Skylar from Zanesville, Ohio

Nathan and Skylar started dating each other when they were both in police custody. Their "drama-filled connection" forced the police to send Skylar back to jail. Nathan plans to propose to Skylar for their one-year anniversary and is currently living at his grandmother’s house. In the preview, Nathan’s grandmother points out that both of Skylar’s ex boyfriends are dead.

Watch the journey of the six couples this Friday, December 16, on WeTV's season 5 premiere of Love after Lockup at 9 pm ET.
