Tiger King, 62, Marries Inmate, 33, Wanting U.S. Asylum

The notorious Joe Exotic will be living out the rest of his sentence with his sixth beau.

The Tiger King, aka Joseph Maldonado, has found love for the sixth time—and has tied the knot with a fellow inmate. Joe Exotic, 62, the infamous Netflix star locked up for attempted murder, said “I do” Tuesday to 33-year-old Mexican Jorge Flores Maldonado, who is in jail for immigration violations. Although Maldonado is almost 30 years his junior, the convicted felon was overjoyed to show off his new hubby in a photoshopped Instagram post. The two posed with matching white hats and boutonnières. Exotic is currently serving a 21-year sentence for his role in a murder-for-hire plot targeting Carole Baskin and 19 counts of animal abuse. He said last October that he was working on “getting [his now-husband] asylum or we be leaving America when we both get out.” Exotic tagged President Donald Trump in his post: “All I pray to God for is Trump will allow me to enjoy a little life outside with him before it’s too late,” likely referencing his recent prostate cancer diagnosis. The viral zookeeper was previously wed to 22-year-old Dillon Passage after meeting him during karaoke night at a safari-themed bar. The two split up in 2021.
