"There are a multitude of offers on the table. Jeremy is humbled and grateful and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers for him and his family.Meeks will be spending the next few weeks in transitional housing "before he is completely free to start his new journey," Jordan said.In an Instagram post today, Meeks thanked his family and fans for their support while he was in prison, adding that he's "ready" for what lies ahead.Last year, Meeks told ABC News in an interview from prison that he was working on getting ripped in preparation for his modeling career."I eat healthy. I do a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, dips, burpees, and I stay very active," he said.
