Ladies, try to contain yourselves. Jeremy Meeks, chiseled cheek-bones and all, has been released from federal prison after serving a two-year sentence.

We first met the “hot felon” in 2014 when, after being arrestd for gun possession, his mugshot was posted to Facebook and went viral.

After gaining internet fame, Meeks was recruited by a slew of model scouts before ultimately signing with White Cross Management.

Jim Jordan, Meeks’s manager, told the Los Angeles Times, “We have a lot in store regarding Jeremy’s new career.”

But Meeks is not out of the woods just yet. The 32 year-old was greeted by his wife and three children (sorry, ladies) before going to a transitional housing facility where he will remain for a few weeks.

The future model posted a photo of himself and his manager thanking everyone for their love and support as he transitions to a new chapter in his life.
