Stephen Bear’s girlfriend reveals their WhatsApp messages as shamed star is moved to prison isolation unit
JAILED Stephen Bear’s girlfriend has revealed their WhatsApp messages as the star is moved to a prison isolation unit.
Jessica Smith took to her Instagram stories to show off their messages from when they “first started dating”.
The former reality TV star’s partner shared the messages from Stephen, 33, who was jailed for 21 months just weeks ago.
It came after he was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
The shamed reality star had filmed himself having consensual sex with Towie star ex Georgia Harrison and uploaded the clip on OnlyFans.
Bear had captured the footage on CCTV in his garden, and is estimated to have made at least £40,000 on the X-rated site.
Judge Christopher Morgan said a jail term was the “only appropriate” punishment for the sick crimes.
In addition to jail time, he was put on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and slapped with a five-year restraining order banning him from contacting Georgia.
Despite this, his new girlfriend Jessica, 28, has continued to stand by him.
And now, she’s shared intimate messages from between the pair, discussing “wedding” plans early on into their relationship.
“Just found mine and Stephen’s conversations from when we first started dating, look at this,” Jessica penned to her fans on Instagram.
“Knew we was going to get married from the beginning, my soul mate.”
The messages from Stephen included a photo of his hand, with the letter J drawn in a spot on his “wedding hand”.
It comes after Jessica filmed herself going to visit her beau in prison in a TikTok post, writing: “Come with me on a visit to see my boyfriend.”
The social media star filmed herself popping the kettle on and feeding her three dogs before glamming up in a long sleeved, long legged romper.
From outside the prison, she recorded the door and said: “Lots of waiting around” then once inside said: “Checked in.”
While showing off a fresh set of acrylic nails designed with the initials S.B, for her fiance, she panned the camera to the HMP wristband.
Then the short clip cuts to after the visit, captioned: “So good to see him but sad because I can’t see him for another two weeks.”
The Ministry of Justice has said Jessica only filmed in the vistors’ area, which she is allowed to do, and would not have been able to take a phone inside the prison.
Stephen has since been moved to a “isolation unit” after being labelled “vulnerable”, as staff at HMP Chelmsford “keep an eye” on him.
This comes after Jessica claimed the pair will get married in 2024.
In a post on her Instagram on Monday, she shared a video clip filmed last year in which Stephen kissed her on the lips and said: “We’re going to get married one day.”
“Hopefully,” Jessica replied, which Stephen added: “We’re going to be together forever.”
Bear quickly proposed to Jessica at the Moulin Rouge in Paris before his sentencing.
However, at sentencing, Judge Christopher Morgan said a jail term was the “only appropriate” punishment and said Bear “deliberately lied” when he told Georgia he had deleted the video so he could “exploit the economic value” of it.
Speaking outside court, Georgia said she was “happy and relieved” the matter was over.
“Today’s sentence is a vindication of what I’ve been put through and sends a clear message that the police and the courts take this matter very seriously,” she said.
“I want to let all other victims of this crime know that I stand in solidarity with them and I have absolutely no regrets in waiving my anonymity.”
And the brave 28-year-old has said she nearly died fighting Bear for two-and-a-half years — and will now sue him for her loss of earnings.
