Chris Watts, the convicted murderer serving life sentences for killing his pregnant wife and two daughters, has a new romantic interest named Lizzie Henderson. Watts met Henderson while imprisoned, according to reports.
Background of the Crime
On August 13, 2018, Watts murdered his family, driven by an affair. He confessed and accepted a life sentence without parole to avoid the death penalty. His victims were his wife, Shanann Watts, aged 34, and daughters Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.
New Relationship Details
Henderson, reportedly from Cleveland, Ohio, relocated to Wisconsin where Watts is held at Dodge Correctional Institution. Both have applied to marry within the prison system.
Henderson’s Perspective
In an interview, Henderson expressed awareness of the gravity of Watts’ crimes. She noted her intention to respect those affected by the murders. Henderson previously worked as a real estate agent but is not currently employed at the Milwaukee-area Keller Williams Realty office where she was once listed.
Further Developments
In 2025, records from Racine County, Wisconsin, indicated a confidential application for a legal name change filed by someone named Lizzie Henderson. This has raised further interest in the ongoing developments surrounding Watts and Henderson’s relationship.
