Branwin Jones is one of the stars of the reality TV show ‘Love After Lockup’, which follows couples who fall in love while one of them is in prison. Branwin spent 11 years behind bars for aggravated identity theft, and during that time, she missed out on a lot of her daughter’s life. Her daughter, Arienne, is 19 years old and works as a dancer. In this article, we will explore how Branwin and Arienne reunited after years of separation, and what challenges they faced in their relationship.
The First Meeting
Branwin met her husband, Chazz Harbison, online two years before she was released from prison. They decided to get married even before they met in person, and had a quick ceremony at a park when she got out. However, Branwin had to spend the final four months of her sentence in Portland, Oregon, while Chazz lived in Kentucky. They had to wait until she was allowed to move to be together.
During that time, Branwin also got to reunite with her daughter, Arienne, for the first time in two years. According to PopCulture.com, the mother and daughter had an emotional hug outside of the strip club where Arienne worked. Branwin was proud of her daughter, who looked like a mini-me of her, but also worried about her exposure to drugs and alcohol. She also wanted her to meet Chazz, who was nervous about making a good impression.
The Awkward Encounter
When Chazz came to pick up Branwin and Arienne from the strip club, things got a little awkward. Arienne was not impressed by Chazz’s appearance, and commented on how short he was. She also did not know what to say to him, and felt that he was not the type of man her mom usually went for. She told the camera that she was interested to see how their relationship would work out, or if it would work out at all.
Branwin tried to make her daughter and husband get along, but she also had her own issues with Chazz. She was anxious about being intimate with him, since she had never been sober during sex before. She also had trouble adjusting to life outside of prison, and felt overwhelmed by the changes. She preferred to spend time with her daughter and friends, rather than move to Kentucky with Chazz.
The Current Status
Branwin and Chazz’s relationship did not last long, as they reportedly broke up shortly after the show ended. According to The Cinemaholic, Branwin accused Chazz of cheating on her with multiple women, and claimed that he was abusive and controlling. She also said that he lied about his age, and that he was actually 62, not 52. She filed for divorce in June 2022, and moved on with another man.
As for Branwin and Arienne, they seem to have a close bond, despite their past struggles. Branwin often posts photos and videos of her daughter on her Instagram account, and praises her for being beautiful and smart. She also supports her daughter’s career as a dancer, and says that she is proud of her. Arienne also appears to be happy for her mom, and wishes her the best in her new relationship.
