Robyn Kett, a 33-year-old woman from East London, found love in an unexpected place – with a US prisoner named Deandre Parsons, who is serving a 20-year sentence for manslaughter. Their love story began when Robyn came across a Reddit post from Deandre’s family seeking a pen pal for him due to loneliness.
Despite Deandre not being her usual type, Robyn reached out to him and they “instantly connected”. They have been communicating constantly for the past four months, and Robyn is now saving up to visit Deandre in prison next year. She doesn’t judge him for his crime and describes their romance as “crazy”.
Robyn, a stay-at-home mum who recently lost her partner to cancer, felt that life is too short and decided to take a chance on love with Deandre. She found him easy to talk to and genuine, despite his past. Deandre, who was initially hesitant to discuss his conviction, opened up to Robyn about his past and the circumstances that led to his crime.
Their relationship thrives on daily messages and calls, with conversations ranging from mundane topics to deep discussions. Robyn finds Deandre funny and charming, and she has fallen in love with him naturally. She is looking forward to visiting him in prison next year and hopes for a future together.
While Deandre has a long sentence ahead of him, Robyn remains hopeful as parole could be an option for him in just six years. She is saving money and preparing for her visitation, eager to see where their relationship will lead. Despite the challenges they face, Robyn’s friends and family are supportive of her relationship and encourage her to pursue happiness.
In a world where love knows no bounds, Robyn and Deandre’s story is a testament to the power of connection and the resilience of the human spirit. Their journey together is a reminder that love can blossom in the most unexpected places, and that true love is worth fighting for.
