In 2010, he married his second wife, Kimberly Brook, and the pair have several beautiful children. The couple regularly post photos of their little ones on Instagram, and James even revealed that he let his kids watch his classic Varsity Blues (spoiler: they weren't fans). While James and Kimberly have a beautiful family with their six little ones, they have had a fair share of struggles.
