Courtney Lozada’s relationship with Wade Wilson seemed typical at first – a connection made through the dating app Plenty of Fish. They met in late 2018, and their first date was full of laughs and lighthearted conversation. Lozada described Wilson as “really attractive, really good looking, really tall,” and the chemistry was undeniable. He presented himself as a man with charm, wit, and a voice that caught her attention. But little did she know that just months later, Wilson would be responsible for one of the most horrifying acts of violence.
Their relationship unfolded quickly, and though Lozada suspected that Wilson was cheating on her with another woman, Kelly Matthews, he insisted she was just a “roommate.” Despite the early signs of trouble, Lozada moved with Wilson to the Florida Keys, but the living situation was short-lived. Wilson soon moved out and stopped communicating with her altogether.
What Lozada didn’t know during their time together was that Wilson had allegedly been violent with Matthews before moving in with her. In October 2019, Lozada was devastated to learn the truth when Wilson made headlines for the brutal murders of two women, Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, in a single day.
The revelation left Lozada in shock. “I never saw his violent side,” she said, reflecting on their relationship in the Netflix series Worst Ex Ever. Despite Wilson’s dark past, Lozada had no idea what he was truly capable of until it was too late.
As she reflects on her past, Lozada’s story is a sobering reminder of how appearances can be deceiving, and how the most seemingly charming individuals can harbor dark, hidden secrets.
