In 2008, the athlete walked down the aisle with Allison Jayne Raski, whom he shares two more children with, his son Landon and daughter Sutton.
They finalized their divorce shortly before he married Meghan King in 2014. They share daughter Aspen, five, and four-year-old twin sons Hayes and Hart and finalized their divorce in 2021.
The marriage marks the first time Kortnie, who became Instagram official with Jim back in April 2020, has tied the knot.
The couple first entered the public eye in January 2020 when Meghan revealed she and Jim had a threesome with a friend during their marriage. That third partner was later revealed to be Kortnie.
Kortnie announced their engagement in August 2021 with a photo of her massive diamond ring.
‘Dear Diary, A month ago, Jimmy asked me to marry him in the most intimate and personal way,’ she began her caption. ‘I said yes! Love, Kortnie.’
