Their wedding didn’t seem anything short of a spiritual moment as they exchanged vows in Tel Aviv in front of “close friends and teachers.” Kimberly must have been pregnant at that time as almost two months later; she gave birth to Olivia on September 25, 2010.

James and Kimberly must have felt so happy to be parents that they couldn’t stop producing children after children. In around two years’ gap between each child, they would go on to birth four more children.
