Eight years after the murder of his pregnant wife Shanann and their two daughters, Chris Watts is serving five consecutive life sentences at the Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin. Reports indicate that he has started a new life behind bars and may soon get married.
Chris’s family continues to discuss the case publicly. His mother, Cindy Watts, recently stated that she does not believe her son killed his daughters, despite his confession. Chris was convicted of the murders that occurred in August 2018, when Shanann was 15 weeks pregnant with their third child. He pleaded guilty on November 6, 2018, to avoid a trial.
At the Dodge Correctional Institution, Chris has reportedly become a born-again Christian. He has been seen with a Bible during visits and is actively involved in his faith, meeting with a new partner, Lizzie Henderson.
Lizzie confirmed her relationship with Chris and stated that they are planning a wedding. She moved from Ohio to Wisconsin to be closer to him. In September 2025, she filed a petition to change her name to Lizzie Watts. Henderson also sparked wedding rumors when she was spotted with a ring on her ring finger, and her former stepfather reported that the couple applied for a marriage license in prison.
Cindy Watts continues to contest part of the charges against her son, claiming that he could not have killed his daughters. She expressed a desire for the case to go to trial so Chris could state that he killed Shanann but not the girls. Chris’s father, Ronnie Watts, also expresses doubts and wants to know whether Chris acted alone or had an accomplice. Chris’s sister, Jamie, noted that the family does not have clear answers about what happened.
