In 2022, James opened up about how becoming a parent has changed his life.
He told InStyle, “It definitely changes you in an amazing way. It’s discombobulating at first. Especially with your first child because your whole life changes, but ultimately it makes you — definitely for me, at least — a much more solid person.”
He also shared how having kids shifted his priorities in a way that eased his overall stress.
“Obsessiveness, worrying about X or Y — it does calm that kind of outlook on life because it makes you realize that certain things are a bit more important.”
Theo and Ruth tied the knot in 2018 after meeting at the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in England.
