In what can only be described as a roller coaster full of romance and drama, ID’s “Prisoner of Love” revolves around a group of singles as they hope to connect with inmates across the country. Their purpose is not to be pen pals or friends, however; it’s about building real relationships – all because finding a partner in the real world hasn’t been entirely successful for them. Dexter, who has actually found a match in Yolanda, is one of those people embarking on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. So now, let’s find out more about their history as well as their current status, shall we?
Dexter and Yolanda’s Prisoner of Love Journey
When Dexter Matthews first heard about prison dating his son Brey, he thought the concept was just plain nonsense, not least because of the mental and physical risks involved. From lies to deals and scams to murder, his mind went everywhere, pushing him to make it clear that gauging who someone really is from just a screen would be hard to do. However, the more he thought about it, the more intrigued he became due to his own failed connections over the past few years, which led to him meeting Yolanda Benbow through the matchmaker.
By then, Dexter was well aware that the Columbus native was serving nearly 5 years on charges of forgery, burglary and receiving stolen property, but he couldn’t help but be drawn to her beauty as well. than by his conduct. Yolanda’s passion for helping others, as well as her empathy, is what first drew the retired Deputy Fire Chief to her, and their subsequent conversations only made her feel better about reiterating those qualities. . So once she settled into a halfway house, he went from phone calls to video chatting with her.
It was then that Yolanda listed a few items from her bucket list that made Dexter suspicious of being a gold digger – he had been cruelly used before – but he still gave her the benefit of the doubt due to his situation. Therefore, after managing to connect on a much deeper level within months despite their 10-year age difference, he being older at 58, he asked if they could meet soon. Of course, she gladly said yes, and then they started planning their first real meeting, only for things to get worse.
Are Dexter and Yolanda together?
When Dexter Matthews and Yolanda Benbow were about to see each other, the latter was transferred to a public establishment until the effective end of her sentence since she had become a “responsible” after injuring her foot. The incident put an undeniably disappointing damper on their schedule, but the veteran has vowed to stick with the 48-year-old until the end as he is keen to explore where their partnership could lead. In short, he agreed to continue talking to her, meet her in person once she’s out, and then date her in the real world.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that Dexter and Yolanda continue to be, at the very least, on good terms. The licensed cosmetologist was released from behind bars in the fall of 2021 but is currently on parole, which means she can’t leave the state of Ohio for a while yet. On the other hand, the actor and producer (“Coronaman II: One Year Later”) is originally from Florida, which means he would have to travel to maintain their relationship. That said, given their history and the fact that they follow each other on Instagram, they likely still have an ongoing involvement.
