Lyle Menendez is reportedly having a secret affair with a British university student he met online while incarcerated.
The convicted felon, who has been incarcerated for 35 years, is allegedly so captivated by 21-year-old Milly Bucksey that he has mentioned wanting to divorce his loyal wife Rebecca Sneed, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Lyle married Sneed in 2003 – coincidently just one month before his new secret lover was born.
An insider told DailyMail.com: "Lyle adores Milly. And she refers to him as her boyfriend even though he's married."

Lyle's romance with the University of Manchester student reportedly began earlier this year when Lyle spotted the college student on a Facebook group run by his wife.
Sources close to the situation say he first contacted her using an alias before revealing his true identity.

Their romance has since flourished, and Lyle was even caught talking to Milly with a contraband cell phone at the high-security Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California.
The incident, filed in late October, was documented in the resentencing memo of former Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.
It outlined how he was found with the phone on March 15 in a cell he shares with several other inmates.

Lyle, however, has since obtained a second unauthorized cell phone to communicate with Milly.
In a true fit for love, Bucksey has also traveled 5,300 miles from her home in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, to San Diego to visit Lyle. The two were photographed together during his time in prison.

One photo showed them posing affectionately in front of one of the prison's murals, while another showed Milly sitting on Lyle's knee.
The time stamp on the snap showed it was taken on Saturday, September 14 – a date that lined up with the prison's visiting hours and happened to be just days before Milly's return to University.

In mid-November, Milly even changed her Facebook cover photo to a picture of Ocean Beach in San Diego – a possible ode to her new lover.
Lyle's affair is nothing new for the 56-year-old, who was previously caught cheating on his first wife. His marriage to Anna Eriksson ended in 2001 after she caught him sending love letters to another woman from behind bars.

D.A. Gascón announced he was recommending a resentencing for the brothers in October, saying they had "paid their debt to society".
However, Gascón was voted out and replaced by Nate Hochman, who has put the brothers' bid for freedom at risk by announcing plans to review Gascón's decision.
He is set to take over on December 1.

California Governor Gavin Newsom declined to offer the brothers immediate clemency this week and is instead waiting for the outcome of Hochman's review.
The resentencing hearing, currently set for December 11, will most likely be pushed back.
