“I think that’s the best,” she said. “When you can just genuinely get to know people without all the pretense, without all the pomp and circumstance. Just get to know and love the core and the heart of the person you’re dating.”

The couple’s personalities appeared to complement each other, which made falling in love quick and easy. Like Pulliam, James had starred in televisions and films in the past, such as “Marry Me for Christmas,” “Prisoners,” and “Superstition.”

PULLIAM’S DIVORCE

Pulliam shares Ella with her ex-husband, Ed Hartwell, whom she divorced in 2018, citing adultery and maltreatment. The former NFL star was also said to have taken medication that messed his ability to rationally decide for his child.

Filing for divorce began in 2016, shortly after the actress announced her pregnancy with their first child. However, Pulliam later revealed that their marriage had been on the rocks for a while.

When the divorce was finalized, Pulliam won primary custody of their child, while Hartwell was allowed visitation rights and had to pay $3,007 for child support monthly.
