Chris Watts has developed intimate and possibly sexual relationships with other younger make inmates behind bars, it has been alleged.
The murderer, who was sentenced to life in a Wisconsin prison for the killing of his pregnant wife Shanaan as well as his two daughters, four-year-old Bella and three-year-old Celeste, has reportedly been forming some new friendships in his penitentiary.
New rumors about Chris Watts surface
Watts is reported to have slept with his wife just hours before he strangled his three family members to death, and his motive - as he himself admitted - was that he wanted to start up a new sexual relationship, with his colleague and mistress Nichol Kessinger.
There were others, too.
Amanda McMahon, a hairdresser , told Daily Mail that she met Watts on dating app Tinder years before he murdered his family, and said that the pair had ‘aggressive’ and ‘animalistic’ sex.

Still, despite the atrocities he has committed, he reportedly receives many letters from women which he reads from his cell.
He even had a fiancée for a while, Lizzie Henderson, although that was later broken off by Watts himself.
However, there is now speculation that he’s been up to other things during his lengthy sentence to pass the time.
The Mail has now alleged that Watts is having same-sex romantic relationships during his time behind bars, claiming a source that is ‘well-placed’ said that Watts was even recently kept apart from another male inmate because of suspicions of an ‘inappropriate’ relationship.
The source told them that Watts, now 41, has a gaggle of younger inmates who compete for his affection.

They said: "They follow him around, want to talk to him, want his attention,
"And he's generous with his commissary, so he [gets] things for them, gifts, [or] whatever it takes for them to like him.”
A lot of the other inmates in Dodge Correctional are younger men, often in their 20s, according to the source, and Watts has been said to write them letters and make ‘bonds’ with them.
"Chris will see them all day and then at night write a long letter and hand it to them the next day. It really does make them feel special,” the prison employee said.
So much so that the men have developed ‘crushes’ on him, as the source added: “It's pretty clear that Chris is flirting back.”
"There have been times where it's pretty obvious something happened.
"When I say these guys will do anything for him, I mean anything.
"There is some thinking among guards that these relationships are too intimate.”
Incidents from 2018 and 2020
In 2020, Watts was disciplined after his underwear, petroleum jelly, baby oil, and other things were found in the cell of one such inmate, Dylan Tallman.
There was widespread speculation that the pair enjoyed more than just a close friendship, and Tallman - who denies that fact - told the Mail that: “Nothing surprises me anymore, a lot happens in prison.”
However, that relates to the latest allegations.
Tallman was released in 2021 and has since broken contact with Watts.
"Chris is just super friendly, too nice for his own good being in prison,” he said.
In 2018, another inmate said he had a 10-month-long homosexual relationship with Watts, before the murders were even committed.
Trent Bolte said he met Watts in a cabin and hotel rooms, though the FBI never proved that.
Watts denied ever meeting Bolte.
