James and his wife Kimberley Van Der Beek recently shared their emotional toll due to miscarriages, which almost claimed Kimberley's life, as she had experienced pregnancy losses twice within two years.

Kimberley, 39, almost lost her life when she suffered a fourth miscarriage in November 2019 and the fifth in June 2020, but all thanks to people who donated blood, she was revived through blood transfusions.
