Lyle Menendez is making headlines again, and this time, it's not about another documentary on his life. The convicted murderer, who is currently serving a life sentence, has reportedly found new love while behind bars. Lyle, 56, is reportedly dating Milly Bucksey, a 21-year-old woman he reportedly met through a Facebook fan group.

Lyle Menendez, one of the main subjects of the Netflix documentary series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, has been married before, to Rebecca Sneed, a magazine editor, in 2003. His new prison romance has also ignited rumours of a cheating scandal; however, Rebecca has now cleared the air with a Facebook post.

Who is Milly Bucksey?

Milly Bucksey is a 21-year-old British student, currently pursuing a degree at the University of Manchester. She reportedly met Lyle through a Facebook support group for him. Ironically, the group was created by Lyle's wife Rebecca as part of her ongoing advocacy for his freedom.

Bucksey, who lives in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, travelled thousands of kilometres to visit Lyle in San Diego more than once. ¡°Lyle adores Milly,¡± a source told the Daily Mail. ¡°And she refers to him as her boyfriend even though he¡¯s married.¡±

How did Lyle and Milly meet?

Lyle Menendez reportedly initiated contact with Milly under a pseudonym earlier this year, eventually revealing his true identity. Their online exchanges allegedly evolved into a romantic connection, with Milly visiting Lyle at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego in September, where he is currently serving his sentence.

Despite the significant distance between them, Milly's considerable effort to travel 5,000 miles to see Lyle confirms the pair's transatlantic connection is serious than internet imagined.

How did Lyle keep in touch with Milly?

The Daily Mail reported that Lyle Menendez has allegedly used contraband phones to communicate with Milly while incarcerated. Lyle is going all out for his new ladylove and is not afraid of authorities. When one of his phones was confiscated, Lyle reportedly obtained another device to continue their conversations.

Is Lyle cheating on his wife with Milly?

Lyle has been married to Rebecca since 2023, and she has been at the forefront of leading campaigns advocating for the release of the Menendez Brothers. The new reports suggested that Lyle is considering breaking up with his wife and going official with Milly amid rumours of cheating on his part.
