It's worth noting that James was previously engaged to Raquel Leviss and later dated Ally Lewber. In recent years, the TV personality has been focusing on his sobriety after being arrested on domestic violence charges. "I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life," he said in December 2024. "I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones."

"Navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me," he added. James called it quits with Ally in January 2025, shortly after the arrest. The two had begun dating in 2022.

The news of James' impending fatherhood is sure to add another exciting chapter to his already fascinating life story. As he continues to grow and learn from his experiences, we can't wait to see how he navigates this new journey as a father. Congratulations to James and his new girlfriend on this exciting news!
