Dillon Passage would support husband Joe Exotic if he finds love in prison

The 'Tiger King' star - who wed former zookeeper Joe in 2017 before he was sentenced to 22 years in prison for plotting to kill Big Cat Rescue CEO Carole Baskin - has revealed he would support Joe if he found love behind bars.

Dillon said: "I don't really worry about it (Joe finding love in prison), but if that's what he needs to do then that's what he needs to do.

"Joe is a very affectionate man, he needs love and support, it doesn't matter where he is. He likes to hold, hug, to cuddle, so if that's what makes him happy when I totally support that."

He also feels that Joe would be supportive if he started a new relationship.

Speaking to the Metro newspaper, Dillon said: "He doesn't want me to be alone and so if I was to find somebody, he would support me in that.

"It is a really tough place where we're at, but at the end of the day, life does go on.

"You can't expect to hold anyone back, not that he's holding me back or that I'm holding him back in finding somebody. I think the main goal right now is just to get him out of there."

The star of the Netflix series has less contact with Joe after his recent move to a Texas prison, having previously spoken to his husband on a number of occasions throughout the day.

He said: "I've only been able to speak with him two times in the last two and half weeks."

Dillon also revealed that Joe is in talks to host a radio show whilst in prison.

He explained: "This radio station here in the US wants him to have his own radio show from inside the prison. So we'll see what happens with that. It's kind of mind-blowing."
