James is married to his long-time girlfriend, Diana Issa. But Diana is not his first wife, she is the second one. Before Diana, James married a woman named Callie. Things were not right between Callie and James and hence on 7 June 2014, Callie filed a case of domestic violence against James, but on 30 June 2014, this case was dismissed as Callie failed to appear in the court. After that, they filed for divorce and separated their ways.
