The reason behind the divorce of Jim and Kate

Well, Jim is recognized for being the first hubby of Kate, an Oscar-winning actress. 

Despite their separation being amicable, the man has been considered the jealous husband by the media. 

The individuals first met during the shooting of Hideous Kinky. The actress confronted her affection towards Jim in those days and how their bond got stronger with time. 

They tied the knot in All Saints’ Church, Reading back in November 1998. But in 2000, their connection was already weak. 

However, Kate says the main reason for their divorce was Jim’s unreasonable behavior. 

Nevertheless, in the media world, it’s said that Jim couldn’t tolerate that he did not have any work which left him no other choice than to be a homemaker instead. 

Financial settlement of theirs is still kept private. 

Good friends with her ex-wife

Jim and his former spouse are good friends despite the split up, added Jim. 

While his ex-spouse was living in a New York apartment with her then-husband Sam, Jim and his wife Julie Vuorinen, a special needs teacher, lived a low-key life of suburban happiness in North London. 

Nevertheless, Jim flies to New York once a month to spend time with his daughter named Mia, the kid of both Kate and Jim. 

Jim praised Kate’s then-husband Sam and shared his joy of Sam being in Mia’s life.

He also brings out the fact that there was the assumption of vitriol between him and Kate for several years. 

But he confronted that there hasn’t been anything like that, and there isn’t. 

Nevertheless, Jim says being on good terms had evolved into a good friendship with Kate.

After the marriage ended with Kate, he began painting

Jim’s married life ended with Kate, which led him to try his hands at painting. Not to deny, but his art exhibitions and paintings also brought him a huge profit indeed. 

Moreover, numerous British tabloids portrayed him as a colorful character which he eventually sued.

Nevertheless, Jim was also nominated for Jonathan Vickers Painting Award and achieved the UAL Research Award in Madrid and Dublin. 

Three children from three weddings?

Nevertheless, the lady prides herself on being a very hands-on parent to her adorable kids. 

She had confronted that she neither had a driver nor a chef or any things around her because she wanted to look after her kids and take on their responsibilities. 

She even says that she can afford all those things, but she doesn’t want to because Kate wants them to remember her chicken soup and packed lunches when her kids grow up.
