They are two frauds in a pod!

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah are seen for the first time in exclusive DailyMail.com photos chatting together in the jail yard where they’re both serving time for fraud. 

Dressed in their matching prison-issued khakis, Holmes, 40, could be seen smiling down at petite Shah, 50, as they walked outside with fellow inmates at Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas.

The high-profile pair have formed an unlikely friendship during lock up, with the Bravo star becoming a workout instructor and the multi-million dollar pharmaceutical scammer attending many of her classes.

Holmes has even been taking maternal advice from Shah – and the pair of convicts have been helping each other ‘get through’ their incarcerations, sources claim.

Shah is said to be a 'motherly' figure in the federal prison for Holmes - who gave birth to her second child just months before she was locked up. The Real Housewife has even held Holmes's daughter Invicta during family visits

The low-security prison is a far cry from their opulent lifestyles back in Salt Lake City, Utah and San Diego, California. Instead the millionaire inmates share four-person rooms with bunk beds in a dormitory-style set-up.

Holmes left her blond hair down and wore glasses, opting not to wear a jacket as Shah did.  

The fraudster friends caught up just before visiting hours Sunday, when Holmes’s husband, kids, parents and friends came by to celebrate her 40th birthday. 

DailyMail.com photos showed the entrepreneur beaming as he held her two-year-old son and packed on the PDA with husband Billy Evans, who traveled from their $9milion San Diego home. 

Holmes is nine months into her 11-year sentence for fraud and conspiracy over false claims she made to investors about her revolutionary blood-testing methods that used tiny volumes of blood, such as from a finger prick.Shah started her six and a half year sentence in February 2023 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. 

Her telemarketing scam conned thousands of people and went on for nearly a decade. She was was ordered to forfeit $6,500,000 and 30 luxury items.

Shah’s longtime manager Chris Giovanni previously told DailyMail.com that she is ‘doing amazing and has been successfully rehabilitating during her time at FPC Bryan.’

He also revealed that she has been dubbed ‘Jen Fonda’ for creating a 30-to-60 minute ab workout class – branded ‘Shah-mazing’ – and said Holmes is a regular attendee. 

‘Jen gets all the ladies together and they rally behind her while she teaches them fitness moves, and Elizabeth has been there right along with them,’ he said.

Federal officials have also confirmed that Holmes is eligible for release nearly two years ahead of schedule for good behavior. 

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons currently projects that Holmes will be released on December 29, 2032 –  115 months, or slightly more than 9.5years, after she began her prison sentence.
