The 51-year-old actor from The Notebook was seen looking youthful while enjoying a leisurely stroll with his 26-year-old girlfriend, Frederique Brons, after a casual lunch date. The couple kept it low-key, both wearing jeans and sneakers, with James adding a cream hoodie and a backwards baseball cap to complete his relaxed look as he held his girlfriend’s hand.
The pair has been linked since October 2023, following James’s rumored breakup with model Kelsey Merritt. Despite his successful career, James tends to keep his personal life out of the spotlight.
Previously, the Enchanted and Dead to Me star was married to Lisa Linde, known for her roles in Pacific Blue and Days of Our Lives. They married in 2000, had two children—Jack, now 22, and Mary, 19—and separated in 2011. At the time, a representative for James told People: “This was a mutual decision. They are committed to raising their kids together and remain great friends.”
