There was a kid who at 12 was already writing his own songs and recording them with famous bands like Cue the Drama, Moonlight Drive, Emerald Skye and Save Arcade. That kid was James Arthur who would go on to win the 9th series of The X Factor at the age of 24. Here are all the interesting details about his wife. Maybe what people say about his sexuality being gay is true, find out.
In 1988, on March 2, JamesArthur was born to a Scottish father named Neil Arthur, to his English wife Shirley Arthur, in Middleborough, England. The love that once reigned between his parents left them when James was 2 years old. They not only divorced, but quickly settled in with their respective new partners, as if smothering each other as husband and wife.
Their infant son, however, still had his life ahead of him to live. He was enrolled at Ings Farm Primary School, Redcar, North Yorkshire, to begin his elementary education. Later, at the age of 9, he moved to Bahrain with his stepfather and mother, where he continued his education at the British School of Bahrain. After some time, his mother separated his stepfather and the young boy returned to England to complete his education at Redcar School in Rye Hills.
James Arthur’s interest in music beganmanifesting when he was 15 years old. This saw him write his own songs and work with some popular bands at the time. James auditioned at The X Factor talent hunt, after which he became one of the top 12 contestants. He would later become the best of the best on December 9, when he won the most votes against Jahmene Douglas.
After this victory, James Arthur’s winning song Impossible was released as a charity single and it went on to record 5 million sales worldwide, which clearly made its mark as X Factor’s best-selling single.
The singer and songwriter went on to produce and release many more songs, including You’re Nobody Until Someone Loves You, The Truth You Won’t Let Go, Inner Safe, and May I Be Him. So far in his young career he has two studio albums James Arthur and Back from the Edge.
All the singers and/or songwriters who started when James Arthur did, his career realized what the young Brit has in store. His music career has already seen a total of 8 award nominations starting in 2013, among which he won 3 awards, namely Best International Song for Single. Impossible, awarded by Los Premios 40 Principales in 2013, International Breakthrough of the Year for the same song in the same year awarded by NRJ Music Awards and Pop International awarded by Radio Regenbogen Awards in 2014. As he continues to make more songs and develop his career, James Arthur is someone who has championed his exceptional talent in the industry and so we should see him earn more accolades.
The English man is said to have a net worth of around $5 million, much of it coming from his music career.
Being a celebrity certainly has to do with your fans wanting to get to know you inside out, and James Arthur is no exception. He met his girlfriend Jessica Grist at The X Factor 2012 show where she was a dancer.
The two had things going well for them until a time came when they had a relationship hiatus. However, they got back together and have been strong ever since. James revealed that Jessica was with him the whole time he was nursing an injury inflicted on him by known thug Chris Revell, accusing him of having a night out with his ex-girlfriend Gemma Iveson in 2016. The thug has since been imprisoned for 5 and a half years as James Arthur and Jessica Grist continue to grow stronger in their relationship. The two aren’t married yet, but they are known to be engaged to each other.
James Arthur is certainly not gay as we know him to have a girlfriend. However, for a homophobic slur he used in a rap, he called out Lucy Spraggan, a gay rights activist and singer. Lucy shared a message he sent her on Twitter using words that were offensive to someone who isn’t straight. To this, James later issued an apology stating that he was sorry and that in fact he had many gay friends. Also, he added that in raps/fiefdoms, the lyrics he uses often have a different meaning.
The singer and songwriter stands at a height of 188cm (6ft 2in).
