Jim devoted his entire life to his career and still, he took out time for his family. When you are so focused on something, you expect support from your loved one but Anne stopped supporting his career.
Many people are wondering about why does that happened but Anne didn't say anything about the reason for divorce.
When the couple was summoned to the court, both of them didn't even look at each other's eyes. Jim grew teary when he was asked to say something about the divorce.
Reason for the divorce
He revealed that his wife used to follow her around the country when he was traveling for his job, but gradually she lost interest and stopped going with him.
He also said that she did not even attend the award function where he won the "Man of The Year" award.

We can truly understand how devastated he must have been after winning the prize but not able to spend the moment with his wife.
She also didn't allow him to put his oil painting that he received while winning the award.
Jim stated that he was also chosen to be the host of the CBS Early Show but he turned down the offer due to his wife disagreement.
If we carefully analyze all the incident that he stated we can clearly make out that his wife didn't like his work.
After being alone even with a wife, he decided to take action and filed for a divorce. The couple got separated in 2009, and the reason for the separation would be his wife's lavish spending habit.
She spent at around 1 million dollars a year during their marriage and it proved that she was just using Jim's hard earned money and satisfying herself to the extent.
Divorce Settlement-Backfired
The judge Howard Owen gave his decision after hearing from both sides and the decision was pretty much against Jim.
He has to pay 916,000 dollars a year as alimony to his wife plus child support to his daughter Carolina who stays with her mother.

He also had to give his two Connecticut homes and Country Club Membership of his wife that costs around 70,000 dollars a year.
Though the Judge found both sides not guilty but, in the end, Jim was the one that had to take the hit for the divorce. He has to pay the alimony and child support until his ex-wife remarries or dies.
New Life New Marriage
Shortly after Jim decided that his marriage is dead, he started dating Courtney Richards in 2008. They first met when Jim was promoting a book that he wrote about his father in May.

It seems that Jim went to IMG to promote his book but end promoting his relationship. He proposed her in 2010, while they were holidaying on his close friend George H.W Bush's mansion at Maine.
After being in a relationship in 2010, the couple decided to take it further and got married on 9th June 2012.
The couple exchanged vows in Pebble Beach, Monterey County, California. It was a golf pitch and Jim decided to marry her in the same pitch where he started his reporting career.
Many big golfers, close friends, and relatives were also invited there.
Bringing Two New life forms with Courtney
After their marriage in 2012, the couple welcomed their first child together, a girl named Finley Cathleen Nantz on March 14, 2014. She was the first mark of love between the couple.
As the happiness they received after the birth of their first child, the couple welcomed their second child, a boy named Jameson Nantz on February 1, 2016.

During the birth of his second child, Jim was very stressed about it due to the fact that he had to host the AFC Championship Game, but he also wanted to witness the birth of his son.

Even luck was on his side as he called the game on Sunday and his son was born on Monday. Though he had to take the most stressful 77-miles drive to home just thinking about the condition of his wife and if the child is born or not. But he made in time.
The couple is living very happily together and will do so for many years to come and it Jim is very happy with his new family and want to live like this forever. We pray for the family's good health and happiness.
