Chris Watts has remarried in jail and he and his new wife have ‘steamy visits’ in prison

Lizzie Watts described his crimes as ‘something harsh for anyone to experience’

Chris Watts has got married in jail, and his new wife is in the process of legally changing her name, it has been reported.

As part of a series published on MailOnline, it’s been reported that the killer has married a woman named Lizzie, who has spoken to the publication about their relationship, and what he did.

In 2018, Chris Watts killed his pregnant wife Shanann Watts, and their two young daughters, four-year-old Bella and three-year-old Celeste. After his family went missing, Watts pretended he was a concerned father and husband, and did public appeals for information.

But, he was the one who had killed his family. He had been having an affair, with a woman called Nichol Kessinger, and has seemingly confirmed his motive was to start a new life with her.

On August 21st 2018, Chris Watts was charged. He then pleaded guilty to all nine counts against him: Five counts of first-degree murder (including two additional counts for his daughters because they were children under 12), one count of unlawful termination of a pregnancy, and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body.

Chris Watts is jailed at a maximum-security prison in Wisconsin. There is no way that he will ever leave jail, as he has been sentenced without any chance of parole.

Now, it’s been said he’s remarried. MailOnline has spoken to his new wife Lizzie, who is a real estate agent. She relocated to Wisconsin, in order to be closer to Watts.

According to the report, Lizzie has already started calling herself Lizzie Watts, and has applied to marry Watts within the prison system. Photos show her wearing a wedding ring, and logs have confirmed she visits the killer in prison frequently.

The couple are said to have “got physical” in visits, with one witness describing a “steamy makeout session” one time Lizzie was at the jail. This is said to have happened just one day after the anniversary of the killings.

MailOnline said on the phone Lizzie Watts confirmed their relationship, and admitted it could be seen as “weird” that she wants to be with him. On how they met, she added: “How things began is between me, him and God.”

Lizzie was also asked about the disgusting crimes Watts committed, and she replied: “How I feel about it? He knows. He knows how I feel. I don’t know all the people involved but I would want to respect them.” She described the killings as “something harsh for anyone to experience.”

The chilling story of Watts’ crimes was told in American Murder: The Family Next Door, which first aired on Netflix in 2020.
