‘Love After Lockup’ has had its fair share of dramatic love stories, but perhaps none as chaotic as the rollercoaster romance involving Michael Simmons, Megan Nash, and Sarah Simmons. The saga unfolded in seasons 2 and 3, weaving a tangled web of deceit, multiple engagements, secret marriages, pregnancies, and even a stint behind bars for Michael. As viewers were introduced to the personalities, little did they know they were about to witness the series’ only three-person love triangle, with Michael juggling between Megan and Sarah. This tale of love, betrayal, and unexpected twists captivated audiences, leaving them eagerly anticipating the resolution of this tumultuous affair.
The Love Triangle Of Michael, Sarah and Meghan on the Show
The unsuspecting center of this love triangle on the show was Megan Nash, who was saving herself for a special man. But she didn’t know that Michael, serving a two-year sentence for a parole violation across the country, was not only engaged but already married to Sarah, the mother of his young daughter. As Megan enthusiastically planned her wedding to Michael, blissfully unaware of his double life, the truth began to unravel. Shockingly, Sarah and Michael weren’t just engaged—they were secretly married. Michael managed to spend time with both women without them discovering each other’s existence. To make matters worse, he impregnated Sarah again.
Michael, torn between the two women, couldn’t decide whether to choose Megan or stick with Sarah, with whom he had a six-year history. Even his mother, privy to his dual relationships, urged him to prioritize his wife and daughter. Eventually, Michael seemed to lean towards ending things with Megan, but fate took an unexpected turn when he was sent back to prison for four months due to a parole violation during a visit with Megan. Sarah, in a moment of revelation, discovered Michael’s affair by checking his phone while he was behind bars. The confrontation was explosive, and she vowed to divorce him, expressing disbelief at enduring years of deception.
Seeking closure, the season concluded with both declaring they were done with Michael, who remained incarcerated, and Sarah expressing her desire for a divorce. Viewers further witnessed at the end of the season that Michael relocated to Miami after his release, moving in with his new girlfriend, Maria. However, their relationship crumbled, prompting Michael’s return to New York, where he spent time with his daughters and attempted to reconcile with his estranged wife, Sarah. Amidst this chaos, Sarah also briefly dated Malcolm.
