Tiger King Joe Exotic's ex-husband John Finlay marries woman of his dreams after finding real love

Tiger King star Joe Exotic's ex-husband John Finlay opened up about finally finding real love with a woman.

John was portrayed as Joe's husband in the dramatic docuseries and even had a three-way wedding to Joe and Travis Maldonado during the show.

Now, the 37-year-old revealed he is happily married to a woman and said the series' wedding was actually 'fake'.

"My wedding was the happiest day of my life," he explained.

“It kept being delayed because of the pandemic, so in the end, we said ‘screw it’ and went to the courthouse. I didn’t want cameras there because it was only for us."

The star added to The Sun : “I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. I had no idea what it is like to marry your rock, your soulmate, the person you spend every minute of the day with.

“Stormey completes me and we are deeply in love.”

John insists that his marriage to Stormey was the first time he was legally married.

Meanwhile, Joe - who is serving 22 years in prison for the murder-for-hire plot of Carole Baskin - and his husband Dillon Passage recently announced they broke up.

The 58-year-old, who rose to fame in the hit Netflix documentary series, married Dillon, 22, in 2017.

The pair had tried to make their relationship work despite Joe's imprisonment.

Dillon even attempted to get Joe a Presidential pardon from Donald Trump, which didn't succeed.

Joe later fired a scathing comment towards his partner online in March claiming that Dillon "no longer cared about him" and the pair announced their intentions to divorce.

Despite the public break up, the Tiger King insisted the two will stay married.
