The first time he met Gill was when she was moving into James’s mom’s house as a longtime girlfriend with her boyfriend. Their romance started after Gill had split with her boyfriend, and he moved out.
In the White Wine Question Time Podcast, James explained that it wasn’t the easiest start for them as he hadn’t really seen any romantic things. James also added, “I’m not very romantic. I’m like, ‘I love romance,’ but I find certain things romantic, like the fact that we met each other the way we did. It’s like a little fairy tale or something.”
