James being devoted to his family got frightened that he would lose them which eventually led him to quit. James added how fear was an excellent motivator as he had abandonment issues; he has had one family that disintegrated (his parents got divorced, and mother died due to cancer) and he didn’t want another one to fall apart too. James also said how he and Francesca went through more complicated things but only came out stronger. If that wasn't enough, the singer confessed that the moment he met her, James knew she was brought to help him get out of the hell hole.
As of now Francesca and James are living a happy married life with their children.
