Aussie model Jessica Hart finally confirms split from American race car driver fiancé James Kirkham after months of speculation - as she eyes move back Down Under

Jessica Hart has confirmed her split from her fiancé, months after chatter about the end of their relationship first emerged. 

The Australian model casually admitted on Sunday that she's called time on her romance with American race car driver James Kirkham. 

The 40-year-old, who is based in the USA, made the comments while discussing the possibility of moving back home to Australia with her two young kids. 

'Bringing the kids to Australia is always in the back of my mind,' she told the Daily Telegraph. 

'I think eventually I'll end up back in Australia but, for the moment, the kids are in school here and, since I'm not with their father, I understand at their age taking them to Australia is a bit too far for them to maintain a relationship with him.'

Jessica and NASCAR driver James share two children: Baby-Rae, five, and Glorious, four.

'The dream would be to live six months here and six months there, but current schooling systems don't allow for that,' she said.

Jessica added: 'I really want them to have Australian influence... Australia will always be my home.'

Rumours of a split emerged last year, after the pair had an almighty row inside their $368,000 Mercedes-AMG G-Class in early 2025.

The Daily Mail obtained photos showing the fallout at the time. 

The couple were seen having a heated argument while driving back to their Hollywood Hills home.

Jessica eventually pulled over and turned on the hazard lights. 

James then wildly gesticulated in the air, before burying his head in his hands, seemingly in despair.

According to an onlooker, their vehicle was briefly blocking traffic until James exited the car. 

Jessica then drove off without him, prompting him to run after the car. 

A day earlier, the Aussie Victoria's Secret stunner was seen without her engagement ring, looking visibly distraught as she took a phone call. 

The pair have since unfollowed or blocked each other on Instagram, and had not been pictured together since the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, in October 2024 – until exclusive photos of their confrontation emerged. 

Jessica almost married Greek shipping scion Stavros Niarchos III before bonding with tattooed single father James over their shared love of fast cars in 2019, accepting his proposal at her baby shower for their first child.

Weeks later their daughter Baby-Rae Kirkham was born, and seven months after that Jessica revealed she was pregnant with son Glorious, born in February 2022.
