Alexandra and Jim worked together as anchors of the 7 PM Eastern hour of Weather Center on The Weather Channel. There was a spark between the co workers as they enjoyed working with each other and each other’s company. The duo was often spotted making a lot of fun each other during their shoots. They had a flirty vibe and it was obvious to the crew that they got along really well. They were believed to be often close and spending a lot of time together even after only knowing each other for a month. Since they were co workers, they wanted to keep things professional. They did not want the world to criticize them for getting involved with fellow employees. They didn’t want to put pressure on the producers of the show in case the relationship didn’t work out and one of them had to be pushed off the show. They felt the best move would be to keep things quiet and private between themselves.
Some say that Jim just needed a decent reason to get out of his marriage and allowed rumors about him with Alexandra to spread. Since his wife was sick, he wanted a way out but didn’t want to look like a bad person for leaving his wife. If he allowed the rumors to persist with Alexandra without denying them, he could test the idea of him dating again and see how what kind of feedback he would get from people. It was speculated he wanted a divorce because he could not put up with his wife’s medical conditions and his children’s medical conditions that were transmitted from his wife. He once mentioned that he did not know about his wife’s medical condition until his children were born. Even though that was sort of a cruel thing for Jim to say, it represented his reality. He saw his wife’s condition as a burden that he wouldn’t allow to hurt his love life anymore.
