The Brit, who appeared on US reality series Prison Brides, met her husband Curtis back in 2021, through a prisoner pen pal service.
Emma became interested in Curtis' story, as he was serving seven years in prison for carjacking, which she thought was a lengthy sentence given that in the UK, the maximum jail term for this kind of crime is two years.
However, romance soon blossomed between the pair, and they began to regularly chat on the phone.
After eight months, Emma jetted off the US to finally meet her man, and set herself boundaries, such as to not send Curtis any money.

As their relationship continued to grow, Emma became increasingly proud of Curt, and decided to share their relationship on the Prison Brides' TV show.
"Curt could not read or write when he went to prison, and now he's got a Master's degree in business," she told the Tamron Hall show.
"I'm not proud of his situation, but I'm extremely proud of the man he's become."
Keen to make their relationship work, Emma moved across the Atlantic to be with Curt, and the couple even tied the knot behind bars.
