Twisted family killer Chris Watts has found love while serving life in prison — and is already planning to get married, according to a report.
Watts, 41, is in a relationship with Lizzie Henderson, 39, and the smitten Ohio realtor has already relocated to Wisconsin to be closer to her murderous beau, the Daily Mail reported.
Henderson confirmed she was in a relationship with Watts, admitting it could be seen as “weird,” and giving few details on how she met the prisoner, who claims to be a born-again Christian.
“How things began is between me, him and God,” she told the Mail.
Henderson applied to change her name to Lizzie Watts last September, taking the last name of a man who murdered his pregnant wife, Shanann, 34, and their daughters Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, in August 2018, according to court documents seen by the outlet.
The realtor was photographed proudly wearing a ring on her wedding finger — and has submitted a marriage request to prison officials, according to her former stepfather.
Asked how she felt about Watts’ unthinkable crimes, the smitten new love said, “He knows. He knows how I feel. I don’t know all the people involved, but I would want to respect them.”
Henderson visited Watts 20 times in 2025, spent Christmas Day with him in 2024, and was spotted having a steamy makeout session with the mass murderer just one day after the seventh anniversary of the killings, according to the outlet.
Watts and Henderson were seen canoodling during a visit last August by Lisa Johnson, who was visiting a loved one at Dodge Correctional Institution (DCI) in Waupun, WI.
He was clutching a Bible as he spoke with Henderson, who was “googly-eyed” and “really excited to take a picture with him,” Johnson, 39, told the Daily Mail.
At DCI, inmates are prohibited from any physical contact with loved ones until the end of the visit, when they are allowed 10 seconds to embrace, while conjugal visits are not allowed.
“They hugged their whole ten seconds while they were kissing,” Johnson said, adding that the pair also said they loved each other.
Prisoners in Wisconsin can submit requests to marry, but only if they meet strict criteria and receive formal approval from the warden.
Watts is serving five consecutive life sentences for the annihilation of his family eight years ago.
The petroleum industry worker strangled his influencer wife Shanann, who was 15 weeks pregnant with the couple’s first son, at their home in Frederick, Colorado, after the pair had sex.
He then put her body in the trunk of his car and drove his two girls an hour outside of town to the oil field where he worked, before smothering them with their blankets and disposing of all three bodies in wells.
Watts repeatedly lied about what he had done, pretending to be a concerned husband before finally coming clean.
He told police he felt trapped by his marriage and wanted to start a new life with his colleague Nichol Kessinger, with whom he was having an affair.
Watts has continued to have a string of pen-pal girlfriends and female admirers behind bars.
