The Truth About Britney And Ray From Love After Lockup

Publish date: 2024-05-03

"I met Ray on social media because we have one mutual friend," Britney told producers on the Season 4 first look of "Love After Lockup." Ray dropped a message in her DMs, and the duo hit it off online, but Britney was blindsided when she found out her beau was behind bars.  At first, Ray was coy about his situation. "He said, 'It's going good, I'm a little locked down right now,'" Britney said about their initial conversation. It was not until the two had a video chat that Britney realized Ray was in prison.

The couple dated for nine months while Ray finished out his nearly four-year sentence. Britney is eager to tie the knot, and said on the show, "I wanna get married as soon as possible, once he gets out." At 33, Britney wants to get started on having kids, but her family disapproved of her partner. "I just don't wanna meet him," her mother said in a short teaser for Season 4.

Britney revealed that she was previously in an abusive relationship. "I called the police, pressed charges, and he went to jail," she said in a confessional on the show. Britney's mother has often referred to that as a traumatic event for the whole family. "If I don't bring a lawyer or somebody home, my mom's gonna yell she's traumatized still," Britney told friends.
