Jessica and James have shared custody of their five-year-old daughter since their split in 2015.

James and Jessica fell in love on the set of Packed to the Rafters in 2009 – he played the role of tradesman Jake Barton, the love interest of Jessica’s character Rachel Rafter.

The pair were together for four years, announcing their engagement in October 2010, before welcoming daughter Scout in May 2012. 

The couple split in 2015 and James wrote in his Sunday Life column: ‘Our relationship didn’t work out because I think hearts go in different directions eventually’.
