So far he has served ten years of his 24-year sentence.

Oquendo shot two men in a gangland hit, and played a part in three armed robberies.

The pair first got in contact when she was a trainee counsellor, looking to become a mentor.

After writing, the couple exchanged phone calls and quickly fell in love - and the pair wed in a jailhouse wedding in August last year.

They had their first face-to-face meeting in July and Naomi described how her husband grabbed her face and gave her an "intense kiss”.

But now she has revealed to her TikTok followers that she is ending the relationship.

She said: "I believe whole heartedly, he is my soulmate, he is my other half, and we are made for each other.

“However, sometimes love is not enough. I had reached a point where I was pouring everything I had into fixing and helping him that I completely lost myself.

"I believe in a partnership, things should be equal, and as much as you give, you should receive, and I didn't feel like I was getting that anymore."

"I'll forever love him & hold his last name.”

Naomi previously started a petition to have her incarcerated husband granted clemency for his crimes.

The petition on Change.org recieved over 5000 signatures.

It reads: "I believe Victor should be granted clemency, not only because his case was unjust but he's also a 30-year-old man now who has learnt from his mistakes and wants to be given a second chance at life.

"He is extremely remorseful for that act he committed, he has already served 11 years in prison.

"If the good behaviour act is approved he will serve an extra six or seven on top of that.

"I believe that he has done his time and paid his debt back to society and should be given a second chance.

"He is a completely changed man, he is 30-years-old now, he's not an 18-year-old boy who is in a gang he really wants a second chance at life and to give back to society."
