'Love During Lockup' is gearing up to introduce a new lineup of explosive couples, each facing challenges that go beyond the struggles of having an incarcerated partner. Among them are MJ and Willie, who share a common cultural background as Tongans and have known each other for years. Interestingly, their romantic journey only began after both divorced their former spouses. Willie reportedly reached out to MJ after he found himself behind bars. Despite the physical distance, their bond grew stronger, and they eventually started dating.

However, their relationship has not been without its share of obstacles. One significant hurdle was when MJ cheated on Willie with her ex-husband, an incident that could understandably cause a rift between them. While the couple seems to have stayed together, questions remain about MJ’s intentions. She is heading back to her hometown, which is closer to her ex, which could rekindle her feelings for him. However, she could also remain committed to Willie. As of now, it's unclear if MJ and Willie are still a couple, as neither has confirmed their relationship status on social media or in interviews. 'Love During Lockup' will reveal more about their relationship as the season unfolds.
