Later that same year, the former couple’s divorce was finalized.
“It’s sad and heartbreaking. But this time, I went through it and didn’t avoid it like my parents’ divorce, and that’s vital too,” James shared with Men’s Health.
“I was separating not only from my wife but also my kids and the bonds of home and family.

“Those are things you’re painfully reminded of every day. It’s like, s**t, what lesson is this? What’s to come from this?
“When the divorce happened, it was the first time I felt I lost my equilibrium.”
The Jury Duty star added: “It was scary and sad and made me pull everything into focus.
“I needed to focus on what was important. So that’s who I am now because of that. I know regrets can be catalysts for good things.”
How did James meet Lisa?
Sometime in the early to mid-1990s, James and Lisa met through a mutual friend.
However, the pair didn’t start dating because the DAYS alum was in a relationship with a friend of the former’s.
By 1995, Lisa called it quits with James’ friend and they struck up a romance.
