A rep for Joe tells us ... his 33-year-old husband, Jorge Marquez Flores, was deported to Mexico on Friday after being released from a Texas prison.

Jorge's deportation comes one day after the "Tiger King" star posted on his social media that Jorge was taken to an ICE Detention Center for his hearing to either stay in America or go back to Mexico. Ultimately, he was sent back to Mexico hours later, we're told.

Joe and Jorge got engaged in October 2024. They went on to get married behind bars in April. "Never been more proud of someone. Meet my husband, Jorge Flores Maldonado," Joe wrote on social media.

In the past, Joe has expressed concern over Flores’ legal status in the United States, revealing they were pursuing asylum for him -- though he said they’d both be heading out of America once they were out of prison.
