‘Life After Lockup’: Which Couples Are Back for the 2025 Season? </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-3_61″>Three years ago, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/love-after-lockup-season-4-justine-michael-still-together-expecting-baby.html/?swcfpc=1″>Justine and Michael</a> said “I do” while he was still behind bars. He’s since been released, and they’ve been busy building their life together – and growing their family. As they settle into their routine as a family of 11, Justine is making plans for her and Michael to reaffirm their relationship in a second, more elaborate wedding. </p>

<p id=”par-4_34″>“Justine and I got married while I was in prison,” Michael explains. Though it wasn’t a traditional wedding, Justine has told him “how special” the day way. But both feel like something was missing. </p>

<p id=”par-5_54″>“I feel like, me being incarcerated, all I did was wait to be called, went down, had a ceremony, went back to my cell,” he says. That, on top of Justine’s high-risk pregnancy with their son, Milleon, has him feeling that he “owe[s] it to her” to give her the wedding of her dreams. </p>

<p id=”par-6_14″>But does Michael realize what he’s getting into by agreeing to wedding No. 2? </p>

<p id=”par-7_19″>“If I’m going to do a wedding, then I’m going to do a big wedding,” Justine tells her husband. </p>

<p id=”par-8_17″>“This is what confuses me,” he says. “[You say], ‘Oh, I’m content. I love our jail wedding.’”</p>

<p id=”par-9_25″>“I did,” she replies. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want something more conventional than quick ceremony followed by a bouquet toss outside the prison. </p>

<p id=”par-10_18″>Michael wants to know how much Justine thinks it will “realistically” cost to pull off <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/dwts-derek-hough-hayley-erbert-wedding-surprise.html/”>her dream wedding</a>. </p>

<p id=”par-11_15″>“I mean, $60,000?” she says. Michael is speechless. “I thought that was low-balling,” she adds.   </p>

<p id=”par-12_7″>Needless to say, Michael has some concerns. </p>

<p id=”par-13_22″>“If we’re going to be doing this wedding, we’ve got to figure out how we’re going to save some money,” he says.  </p>

<p id=”par-14_32″>In an interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet ahead of the <em>Life After Lockup </em>season premiere, Justine doubled down on her belief that her projected wedding price tag was not out of line. </p>

<p id=”par-15_60″>“I feel like if you’ve watched me in past seasons, me saying a $60,000 wedding, that’s true to Justine, that’s me,” she said. “I still don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, personally. Honestly, when I said [$60,000], I had to ask my mom. I was like, ‘Mom, I felt like I was coming in low.’ She’s like, ‘You are.’”</p>

<p id=”par-16_5″>But Michael was still skeptical. </p>

<p id=”par-17_20″>“Her mother and my father are not the ones to take advice from when it comes to money,” he said. </p>

<p id=”par-18_20″><em>Life After Lockup, </em>premieres August 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on We TV. Episodes also stream on ALLBLK and AMC+.</p>
