"Wow!" — Love After Lockup fans react to Hunter's love triangle with Kate and Kaleigh

Love After Lockup season 5 released episode 52, Indecent Proposal, on Friday, December 20, 2024. The episode saw Hunter reveal he was in a love triangle with Kate and another woman named Kaleigh, who he met through Write A Prisoner. Although Hunter liked Kate, he also harbored deep romantic feelings for Kaleigh, who mostly financed his lifestyle inside prison.

The previous episode revealed that Kate had advised Hunter to register himself on Write A Prisoner to receive money from the people who wrote to him. However, she did not expect that women would come rushing in to get in touch with him. She eventually asked Hunter to cut all ties with the women since some relationships were getting serious.

However, Hunter struggled to oblige since he was in love with one of the women, namely Kaleigh. In the latest episode, Hunter detailed his connection with her, stressing his involvement. Meanwhile, Kaleigh planned on building a future with Hunter. Kate, on the other hand, was completely in the dark about Hunter's blooming romance.

Love After Lockup fans who watched the episode took to X to comment on Hunter's love triangle. While many claimed the consequences of his decisions would cause drama, others criticized Kate for encouraging him to get on the website.

"He's the one for me" — Love After Lockup star Kaleigh reflects on her relationship with Hunter

The episode saw Kate speak to Hunter and ask him to break up with the Write A Prisoner girls, reprimanding him for getting "too comfortable" with them. However, Hunter expressed difficulty detaching from them because of their relationship dynamics. When the Love After Lockup star revealed that one of the women had his initials tattooed on her leg, Kate wondered why.

Hunter's other partner, Kaleigh, told her friend that she got Hunter's initials tattooed on her leg because he was the "key" to her heart.

She added that she intended to marry him. Although her friend expressed concern about getting involved with an inmate, Kaleigh remained unbothered.

"There's just something about our connection that I just can't quite describe, like, just intuitively, it just feels like him and I are supposed to be together and there's not a doubt in my mind that he's the one for me," she said.

When Kate asked Hunter to sever ties with the women, he promised to "cut the cord" and move on by next week. However, while speaking to the cameras, the Love After Lockup male cast member revealed that he had no idea who he would shut down. He added that he knew "doomsday is coming."
