0:00
People judge me because I have a husband and a fiancé in prison
0:04
In November when he was in the county jail, he was flexing, making me laugh and stuff
0:08
And then after I had stopped recording, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him
0:18
My name is Kira. This is my partner, G, and he is in prison
0:22
I speak to G every day, like six, seven times a day. I get anxious anticipating his call
0:27
He's definitely my favorite person to speak to every day. He got six years, five of them, which he already served in the county jail
0:34
G will be released on September 4th of 2025. So I met G through a mutual friend
0:40
I was nervous. I was scared a little bit, honestly, because I'm not used to all those tattoos on his face
0:45
But his voice is very, very sweet. So me and G started off talking on FaceTime around 2023, and we just had an instant connection
0:54
G has spent thousands of dollars on my jewelry. My most special gift that he got me was this chain
1:00
I love it when G spoils me, but I also spoil him too. This is just a collection of what I've bought him
1:06
while he's been in the jail system. I've gotten him teeth, which is diamond cut, a money bag
1:12
and I just ordered G a new chain. He's calling. I miss all y'all so much, baby
1:18
I know. What are you most looking forward to? Coming home to you and the girls, just being free again
1:25
I'm just waking up with your breath in my face. With my breath in your face
1:32
Me too, me too. G is very romantic when he wants to be
1:36
I bailed him out for $20,000 cash, so he wanted to show his reciprocation of love for me
1:45
Oh, my gosh. I miss you so bad. So the proposal was kind of ghetto, I'm not going to lie
1:51
In November, when he was in the county jail, He was flexing, making me laugh and stuff
1:56
And then after I had stopped recording, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him
2:02
I said yes. I thought it was cute. I felt excited but nervous
2:07
because I was already married at the time, you know? So I seen how one marriage happened, and I get scared
2:14
I have a husband who's doing 25 to life in prison, and we are separated and no longer involved
2:19
I met G through my husband's ex-girlfriend. Me and my husband are in the process of a divorce
2:25
All right, baby girl, I'll talk to you later. I love you so much. I love you more. Give me a kiss
2:30
People tend to judge me and G's relationship based off his tattoos and our situation
2:36
I come with two little girls that are not biologically his. Today, I'm finally going to break the news to my mom and sister
2:43
that G is also married. Kira has definitely been with some interesting people
2:48
throughout her dating history. Yeah, that's about as nicely as I can put it
2:53
I'm worried she's going to get hurt. I'm just praying that it's not a game to him
2:57
What was your first impression of G? The first time I seen him, I was like, oh, hell no
3:05
Tattoos all over his body, face, just me mugging. But on the other hand, when I watch him interact with you, it's different
3:13
So, and at the end of the day, like I said, he's not for me, he's for you. He wasn't my type at first either, but mine and his, like, connection level was completely different
3:23
Like, we clicked. How do you feel as far as, like, me going from one situation to the other and them both having to do time
3:31
If it was me personally, I would rather see you with somebody who is able to be with you every day, not have you sitting here by yourself lonely
3:39
I know. Sometimes I wish that, too. I'm not going to lie. I know G will be home soon, you know, so I don't really trip about that anymore
3:45
as long as he stays here. I think he will. I think this time in jail has really showed him
3:50
this is not what he wants to do as far as, like, being away from the girls and stuff
3:57
So... That is one thing I'll give him, too. You don't ever treat your girls no different
4:01
Like, in that aspect, I am glad that he's a part of my niece's life because, ultimately, their father isn't going to be able to be here
4:08
for quite a while. So you really think, like, once you and your husband get the divorce
4:13
like you and G are gonna get married I think not right away like it's not you
4:19
know no girls that's gonna pop up or no like hitting stuff I don't this actually
4:25
leads to like what I wanted to talk to you about is the why I called you over
4:29
can you sit up just tell me so um G's married yeah he's definitely
4:43
married. I found out G was married when we were arguing actually. One day I just seen
4:48
his phone ringing and it said a wifey and I asked him, are you
4:52
married like for real? And he was like, yeah. I'm like, what? Why didn't I know
4:56
But I didn't care because I'm married. I'm going to cry. I hope
5:00
she's not with him. Oh no, no, no. She's in a whole relationship and
5:05
I'm in a relationship with him. He's definitely married though. He'll be
5:08
alright. I mean, if that's how it is. I'm going to cry. Please don't
5:15
I don't want to see you hurt again No, trust me, I don't allow certain things to hurt
5:20
You're a principal baby girl Thanks You guys are both willing to work through it
5:26
And get there I think you guys will make it Thank you, I appreciate you proof
5:32
I always going to have My little worry about you You approve of this message I approve of this message I feel like everybody in your life isn going to like or love your significant other
5:46
But again, it's not for them to like. It's about what makes you happy
5:50
What would you say to people who judge your relationship? It's not your relationship to love or like
5:55
He gets me my mood swings. I get him his mood swings. He's really my best friend
6:00
He's nuts. I'm nuts. We understand each other. Hi, my name is Sonali
6:09
I'm a stand-up comedian and a TV personality. Today, I am going on a blind date
6:14
and I have a huge secret to reveal to my date. The farthest I've gone is just the first kiss
6:20
In fact, I've only kissed five guys in my life. I'm looking for my one and only, my forever man, my soulmate
6:27
That is why I have decided to save myself for that special name. Hello
6:31
Hi. Will you give me a hug? I am still a virgin. I was still a virgin and I am still a virgin
6:39
How do you think it's going so far? Growing up in New Jersey was interesting
6:46
My parents are from India, so that makes me Indian-American. At home, it was the Indian culture. At school, it was the American culture
6:52
And it was quite interesting growing up with the two different worlds. I have decided to save myself for my special man because I believe that sex
7:01
which I don't call sex, by the way. I call it making love. It's a very special and sacred act
7:06
and I can't just give my body to any man. It's hard to date as a virgin
7:11
but on the flip side, I don't have to worry about UTI and STD
7:14
or an accidental pregnancy. So I'm protected. And you know, prevention is better than cure
7:19
So... Hi, my name is Carlos Vega. I am 39 years old
7:24
I'm an actor originally from Chicago, Illinois. My type is somebody who has a good sense of humor
7:30
somebody that doesn't take themselves too seriously, but somebody that really is straightforward, honest
7:37
somebody who just has a really positive energy about them. Hello. Hi
7:43
I'm Carlos. Sonali. Sonali. Nice to meet you. Very nice to meet you
7:47
Let me be a hug. I'm a little wet. It's okay. Very nice to meet you
7:52
So where are you from, Carlos? I am originally from Chicago. Oh, okay
7:56
I was born and raised in New Jersey. What brought you to LA? I'm an actor, so my career
8:02
I was acting in Chicago for a while. I came here for the weather. Not this weather
8:06
Right. Yeah, I mean, that's definitely another reason for sure. What's your cultural ethnicity, your cultural background
8:13
Yeah, my parents are both from Mexico. Do you speak Spanish? I do, yeah
8:18
Me llamo Sonali. Yeah. Tengo hombre, tengo beber. There you go. Me gusta bailar
8:23
Yo también. Salsa, merengue. Bollywood. Bollywood. Do you know what Bollywood is
8:29
Of course. So what made you decide to come to this blind date today
8:37
Conventional dating methods haven't worked for me. Sure. And also, in my culture, there's something called arranged marriages
8:45
where your parents choose who you're going to end up with. Yeah
8:49
And I'm very much against that. I think it's very old fashioned and it's not for me
8:55
You know, arranged marriage, I understand and respect the benefits of it, but I've realized it is not for me
9:02
Arranged marriage is your parents choosing who you're going to be sleeping with. My parents never talked to me about sex
9:07
That to me is just gross. Ew, no thank you. Hard pass. Cheers
9:13
Cheers. Here's to our health. So tell me a little bit about the work you do
9:19
What is it that you do for a living? I work at Equinox Fitness Club
9:23
Okay. Now I work as an operations manager. Awesome. And then besides that, I also do stand-up comedy
9:29
Awesome. Very cool. I kind of fell into that by accident. I mean, that's all we can do, right
9:35
I have been a stand-up comedian for a little over a year. I am damn proud to be a prude
9:41
In fact, just like how there's a pride flag, I have a prude flag
9:46
See, here it is. I kind of fell into it by accident. People have told me I'm funny over the years
9:50
so I guess I've been sort of a stand-up comedian all my life
9:55
I found just leveraging my hardships in life and putting a positive spin on it
10:00
has provided tons of material for stand-up comedy. Carlos, if you'll excuse me, I need to use the ladies' room
10:06
By all means. I'll be right back. Absolutely. Honestly, he's a bit dull personality-wise
10:15
He's intimidating-looking and he has a dull personality. What am I supposed to do with that, huh
10:20
Oh gosh, what am I gonna do? I'm screwed! Quite honestly, I want to bounce
10:27
I think that he will be very shocked when he finds out that I'm still a virgin
10:31
Oh, welcome back. Thank you. Yeah. Have you had much success on the dating apps
10:42
For me, honestly, I actually don't date. No? Dating is a life skill
10:48
I was actually forbidden from developing that skill growing up. I mentioned my parents are immigrants
10:55
They're from India. Dating doesn't exist traditionally in the Indian culture. So anyway, for me growing up, even though I was born and raised in America
11:02
I was raised as if I was in India. So I wasn't allowed to date growing up
11:07
Gotcha. No dating, no socializing, no sleepovers, no prom, and no dorming in college Got it Absolutely the way I was raised has had a profound impact on my adult dating life You know dating is a life skill and I was not allowed to develop that skill as a teenager and
11:25
so even now as an adult at age 36 I have no idea how to date and it's been difficult absolutely
11:33
it's been challenging. Frustrating if you will. What specifically are you looking for in a partner
11:38
I am looking for what Priyanka Chopra has with Nick Jonas. Okay
11:44
Are you familiar with them? I mean, yeah. Yeah, no, for sure
11:48
It seems like they have a really awesome partnership. From a woman's perspective, she really does have it all
11:53
When was the last time you were in a relationship with someone? I have been eternally single
12:02
Look, if I don't laugh about it, I'll cry. So that's why I'm giggling like a little girl
12:08
Incomplete transparency. I've actually never been in a relationship, short-term or long-term
12:16
I'm 36. I've only kissed five guys in my life. Each guy, that's the farthest it's ever gone
12:23
I am still a virgin. I was still a virgin and I am still a virgin
12:28
I'm the kind of girl who needs a ring on my finger. Sure. In order to go all the way
12:33
Yeah. Whenever these guys have ghosted me, I've been through emotional hell
12:37
if you will. Thank you, Juan, for sharing that. That's, you know
12:41
incredibly vulnerable of you to share. How do you feel about that? About me still being
12:45
a virgin at age 36? I think that that's just the path that you have been on in life
12:51
and that's no fault of your own. I feel completely fine with it. It doesn't really affect me one way or another
12:58
So you mentioned that you enjoy Bollywood? Yeah. How about you? Do you like dancing
13:03
Yeah. I mean, I'm, you know, Mexican. It's kind of in our blood to
13:07
As soon as we hear music, your hips are already swaying. So. Right
13:12
What is your favorite dance style? It's Bollywood fusion. Would you like to show me a little move or two? Okay
13:20
There's a lot of hip movement and hand movement happening at the same time. Okay
13:24
And the hips are connected to your feet. Right. So you go one, two, three, four
13:37
That's amazing. So that's Bollywood for you in a nutshell. Bollywood dance moves
13:43
Why don't you teach me some Mexican dance moves? We start here
13:47
I'll have my hand here. Yeah. Hand on the shoulder. One, two, three, four
13:55
But a lot of it has to do with just maintaining eye contact with your partner
13:59
Right? I'm just looking at our feet because I don't want to get stepped on
14:03
I don't want to step on you. No, no, no. You're fine. You're fine. This is all new to me. oh wow okay
14:14
it was great meeting you snale likewise yeah no i really enjoyed talking to you today so
14:21
thank you so much for meeting me today thank you for coming thank you how did the date go i had a great time uh you know i was obviously
14:32
So you're an amazing person. It's been great meeting you and learning about your culture as well
14:38
Thank you. The highlight of the date for me was the dancing
14:42
Yeah, no, I've got to agree. How did the date go? I know, listen, I'm very grateful for this opportunity, for this experience
14:54
I know I've shared how difficult conventional dating methods have been for me given that
14:59
I still have my V-card and that I also don't want an arranged marriage. And yes, I know what you're thinking
15:04
Vigors can't be choosers. But in all honesty, this date? No. I don't see any future with him
15:12
I did not feel any sort of natural connection with him. This blind date experience has taught me to just be open-minded to different experiences
15:20
with different people. I'm London and I'm going on a blind date, hoping someone can accept me for my career and who I am
15:33
I grew up in what most would call a fundamentalist religious group
15:38
So it definitely made my career choice seem a bit extreme. So tell me more about your occupation. Why is it so, I feel like I had to dig a little bit for it
15:48
I used to hide what I do for a living. I think it was a fear of judgment from others, maybe, or being accepted
15:57
So I'm curious as to what he'll think. I try to come with no expectations, but I just hope he's friendly and nice
16:08
I'm Marcus. I'm 30 years old, and I'm a photographer. This is my first blind date. I've been on many dates, but not many blind dates
16:16
Big turnoff. Negativity, negativity. I mean, I'm always half full of guys
16:20
so no matter what the situation is, we can make it work. So my date is almost here
16:25
I'm nervous, but I'm so excited. Let's do this. Hi. How you doing
16:33
Good, how are you? Marcus. Linda. Nice to meet you. It's a good sunny day out here
16:38
Yeah, it's beautiful. It really is beautiful. You're beautiful. Oh, thank you
16:42
OK, you came out full first today, huh? Oh, thank you. Wasn't playing. No, wasn't playing
16:46
Where are you from? I actually from Kansas but yeah far from home Yeah you are But I live here in LA OK how long you been here Four months Four months Yeah Oh you new baby huh Very new Yeah I been working in LA for a while but yeah
17:03
living four months. How do you work? I work in film. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, me too. So I work in like
17:09
a specific genre of film. I am in the adult film industry. Oh. I have been in the adult
17:18
entertainment industry for goodness, like 12 or 13 years. I started working at a strip club and having sugar daddies
17:26
and then just kind of kept branching out from there. I have had bad reactions when I tell people what I do
17:33
There's a lot of negative connotation to adult entertainment, and I think that has a lot to do with it
17:40
People have a perception before they actually get to know somebody in the industry
17:45
What sign are you? I'll give you a hand. Okay. I was born in September. That's not a hint
17:50
That's the whole answer. Is that a Sagittarius? No, I'm a Virgo
17:55
A Virgo. Oh, that's so funny. What are you? A Leo. A Leo
18:00
Yeah. You know Virgos and Leos get along? Do they? I've never heard that
18:04
Oh, no, they are today, though. Oh, cheers. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. It's been great meeting you
18:10
This is going better than you. Respect me, huh? Do you mind to buy Rino Burt to the ladies
18:17
It's going good. I think it's going better than I thought my first blind date would go
18:22
I told him what I do for a living. He just was like, oh, you know, that's cool
18:31
Hey. Hey, sorry to keep it waiting. So, um, so tell me more about your occupation
18:36
Why is it so, uh, I feel like I had to dig a little bit for it
18:40
Oh, um, yeah, because I guess it's just kind of taboo for a lot of people
18:44
It's way more acceptable. Yeah. You seem like a normal, everyday person
18:48
Yeah, I do. So it kind of gives me this, you know, mystique that, I mean, you guys aren't different people, you know
18:54
Yeah, that's the thing. We aren't, we're just like normal people, but dating relationships, it can get hard
19:00
I have a hard time, like, looking and meeting civilians is what we call them
19:05
If you try to go on dates, sometimes guys will think that they can profit off of a relationship
19:12
I haven't really dated anyone in probably like seven years. Seven years
19:18
Yeah. Like bad luck. Yeah. Just not even an effort. Yeah. Yeah
19:23
No effort, huh? I've got good friends and yeah. Would you say I'm like the most effort you put in recently in dating
19:31
Yes. You are the most effort. Definitely. Feel special. I don't have any kids
19:38
I have maybe 40 nieces and nephews, but I don't have any kids
19:43
Do you want kids? I have a kid. You have a kid? Yeah. I have a son
19:48
He's 12. Home and work is very, very separate, but yeah. I'm sure there can come a time where it could be an issue maybe, or I don't know
20:00
We'll wait and see. So, Ladi, tell me about your upbringing. I guess it really wasn't normal. My parents, probably when I was like five, converted to a really fundamentalist belief system
20:19
I grew up in what most would call a fundamentalist religious group
20:24
We kind of wore like little prairie dresses, no music, no TV, no dating
20:31
um so very sheltered i'm thankful for it but it definitely made who i am now in my career choice
20:42
seem a bit extreme compared to that so when i chose my career my parents didn't take that well
20:51
my mom called me and she said what is it like being a and i said it's wonderful thank you for
20:59
asking. It's a big deal to have your parents disown you. That was hard. I didn't just
21:05
lose a mom and dad, but I lost siblings, I lost friends
21:09
I wouldn't imagine. I couldn't imagine. I'm glad you made it through. You made it out
21:13
Yeah, thanks. Yeah, I mean, it gave you a different perspective, huh? Yeah
21:17
definitely. But I definitely, like, yearn for, like, that family. I think it's
21:21
just about creating your own family. I have a family. It's just one that I've created
21:26
A chosen family is just as good as anything else. So, uh, you ready to go
21:31
I am. Thank you for a great first date. It was a nice date
21:38
When he first walked in on the date and I saw him, I thought, oh, this is great
21:43
Like, I think they matched me well and, you know, just based off of looks
21:47
But once we, like, had conversations, we could stay. Like, I feel like we both had things to say
21:53
I think she was so very honest. It was easy to talk to. London, I'm up to Utah
21:57
We can obviously do your clinic. How do you feel you reacted to it? Oh, just very casual, so I think that was good
22:03
So it's very common these days. It's not really something that's too crazy
22:07
Did you guys come see each other again? Yeah, I think so. Possibly, yeah. So why not
22:11
It was fun. I had a good time, and I should try this more often
22:17
Maybe not blind dates, but just dating in general. Thank you
