Tia Torres is a 61-year-old woman who runs the Villalobos Rescue Organization, which is a Pit Bull Center based in America. Other than her love for animals, Tia has also tried a hand at television and writing. She is a star on the Animal Planet show, Pit Bulls & Parolees. Tia also documented her life as an animal lover in the book, ‘My Life Among the Underdogs: A Memoir.’
The Villalobos Rescue Center boss was formerly married to a man named Aren Marcus Jackson. Recently, Tia Torres talked about her divorce from him. Read what she said right here.
Her marriage to Aren Marcus Jackson.
Tia reportedly met Aren while she was tracking down the rightful owner of a dog she had found. Her investigation led her right to Aren, who was serving a 14-year-old sentence in prison.
He had been convicted after firing several rounds at Orange County Sheriff deputies. After their initial first meeting, the two kept in touch, gradually developing a relationship with each other.
After Aren became a free man in 2006, he and Tia made things official the very same year. They walked down the aisle on October 31st, 2006. Unfortunately, a wrench was thrown into their marriage after Aren was arrested again. The two tried to make things work while Aren was behind bars; in essence, it was like a long-distance relationship.
On the 15th of March 2020, Tia revealed that she and Aren Marcus Jackson were no longer together. In the post, she revealed that the two had been divorced for several years now. It must have been a while back because Tia went on to add that she couldn’t even remember the exact date they split up.

What she does remember is that it was a relatively smooth process, absent tears, and drama. Tia has since moved on with life; she doesn’t even know whether Aren is still in prison or not.

Aren is a convicted felon who is reportedly in his early 50s. His claim to fame was his relationship with animal activist and reality star, Tia Torres. Like most people who find themselves on the wrong side of the law, Aren had a difficult childhood growing up.
He was exposed to a life of crime, which in turn, led to lengthy prison convictions. Most recently, he has had to live out a 15-year prison sentence that dates back to 2007. He had been slapped with 11 different charges at the time, ranging from grand theft to attempted murder. There is no clear reports on Aren Marcus Jackson’s release date.
