Key Takeaways

  • Jeremy Meeks shared a provocative Instagram photo with his hand on Luenell’s backside, captioning their joint post, “Don’t mind us.”
  • The photo prompted one commenter to joke that Al B. Sure had become “Al B. Damned,” though Luenell has explicitly described her relationship with the singer as exclusive.
  • Luenell said her romance with Al B. Sure grew from roughly 15 years of friendship, and he has publicly thanked her for supporting him through serious health struggles.

Luenell might be locked in with Al B. Sure, but apparently, the "Hot Felon" didn't get the memo.

Jeremy Meeks, the former inmate whose viral mugshot launched a modeling career, recently shared an Instagram photo featuring himself getting very comfortable with the comedian. In the picture, Meeks stands behind Luenell with one arm raised against a wall covered in signatures and his other hand firmly planted on her backside. Luenell, meanwhile, leans against the wall in a colorful outfit, seemingly playing along with the provocative pose.

"Don't mind us ............ 🤫 @luenell 😘," Meeks captioned the joint post.

And while the picture was enough to get people talking, one Instagram commenter delivered a punchline that practically wrote itself.

"Al B Sure done turned to Al B Damned after seeing this!!!!!" wrote @makeupmadnessbycherry.

The 42-year-old Meeks became an overnight sensation in 2014 when his mugshot went viral following his arrest in Stockton, California. Dubbed the "Hot Felon" and "Prison Bae" by internet admirers, Meeks subsequently served time in federal prison on a firearms conviction before trading his prison uniform for designer clothing.

Following his release in 2016, Meeks established himself in the fashion industry, walking international runways and appearing in magazines. He also pursued acting, appearing in projects including the True to the Game franchise, and published his memoir, Model Citizen: The Autobiography of Jeremy Meeks, in 2024.

As for Luenell, the comedian has been anything but shy about her relationship with Al B. Sure.

During an appearance on Angela Yee's Lip Service, Luenell revealed that she and the R&B singer had been friends for approximately 15 years before their relationship turned romantic. She also confirmed that Al made the first move.

"I think it's a great thing when a friendship can blossom into a relationship," she explained.

And when the conversation turned to whether she was seeing anyone else, Luenell made her position unmistakable.

"If I'm dating Al B. Sure, I'm exclusive. I mean, what the f*ck?" she said.

She also said she's been wearing a ring she bought herself more often since getting together with the singer, explaining that she wanted "to make it clear that I'm taken."

The couple first attracted widespread attention in January when Luenell shared photos and a video of herself kissing Al B. Sure. The singer subsequently called her his "BooBooKitty" and publicly acknowledged the support she provided during his serious health struggles, including when he was in a coma.

"I just appreciate you. I honor you," he told her during an affectionate social media exchange.
