  • Chloe Green and Jeremy Meeks announced that they have a new baby boy, Jayden.
  • Green gave birth last week, according to Instagram posts from the couple.
  • Green, the daughter of a retail tycoon, is an unlikely match for Meeks, who became famous when his mugshot went viral.
  • Since getting out of prison he has become a high-profile model and has found love with Green.


Chloe Green, the 27-year-old heiress to the Topshop fortune, has had a baby with her partner, "hot felon" Jeremy Meeks.

Green posted a picture of her new son on Thursday morning and said that they had decided to name him Jayden Meeks-Green.

It showed Jayden's tiny baby hands gripping two grown-up hands, presumably Green and Meeks. Jayden is Green's first child, while Meeks, 34, already has another son from an earlier marriage.

According to a similar post on Meeks' account, Green gave birth just over a week ago, on May 29. His post was tagged as coming from Monaco, which is where Sir Philip and his wife Tina Green live.

The two have had quite the relationship so far, and are a pretty unlikely couple.

Green found fame as a the daughter of British retail tycoon Sir Philip Green, who owns fashion brands including Topshop, Miss Selfridge, and Burton.

Meeks, by contrast, ended up in the limelight after his mugshot was published on Facebook by a California police department in 2014, and the internet fell in love with it.

Despite his arrest on weapons charges and link to criminal gangs, Meeks gained a second life as the viral "hot felon."

He did jail time for the weapons charge, but got out in 2016 and was offered modelling work. Here he is at New York Fashion Week last year:

It was through this he met Green, reportedly at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Meeks later filed for divorce from his then-wife, and got together with Green.

The two have been dating for around a year. Some reports have suggested they plan to marry.
