Convicted family murderer Chris Watts has reportedly submitted an application to marry from behind bars. Nearly eight years after pleading guilty to the 2018 murders of his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, the 41-year-old is serving multiple life sentences at Dodge Correctional Institution in Wisconsin.
Reports reveal that Watts is in a relationship with 39-year-old licensed realtor Lizzie Henderson. Henderson, who previously resided in Ohio, relocated to Wisconsin to be closer to the maximum-security facility. Visitation logs confirm she has visited Watts dozens of times, with family members confirming that a formal marriage request has been submitted to prison officials. The Chris Watts prison marriage application Lizzie Henderson story has drawn intense outrage and disbelief across social media platforms.

Court records indicate that Henderson has already filed to legally change her last name to “Watts” and has been spotted wearing rings on her wedding finger. However, Wisconsin Department of Corrections policy mandates that any prison marriage request undergo a strict official review by prison leadership before a ceremony can take place.
