Nathan and Skylar Rackley, stars of 'Love After Lockup', spent a substantial amount of their relationship behind the prison. Surviving a long-distance romance was certainly not an easy undertaking. Clearly, the two were in prison at separate times. Nathan, on the other hand, had big ideas for their future. However, it appears that the pair has recently had numerous ups and downs. Skylar's intransigence and Nathan's envy cause many problems between them.
Nathan Tracy's jealousy was on full display recently as the pair went on a date. Skylar received a video call from her male friend while they were both eating. The star answered the phone and spoke briefly with her pal. Nathan, on the other hand, seemed to have had enough and departed the restaurant. Though the pair eventually left the place together, this episode convinced Skylar that she needed to reassess her relationship. Not only that but there have been several incidents in the past.
