Pulliam and James began dating in 2019 after meeting on the set of Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta. According to the Beauty Shop actor, she and James were immediately drawn to each other. She said about their first meeting, “Honestly we just hit it off. We had a lot of downtime; there was a lot going on filming that project. So there were times where we would all be sitting in the cast seats or the van just talking.” The pair then exchanged numbers and, of course, they are now in a dedicated relationship.
Both Pulliam and James have been married before. As the Cosby Show alum explained, the fact that they have been married before makes it clear that they were meant for each other. Pulliam explained, “I think it’s better when you’ve been married before because you’re very clear in what you don’t desire. It makes it so much clearer when you see what it is you do want.” James may be best known for portraying the role of Todd in Tyler Perry’s sitcom For Better or For Worse. He has also appeared in Netflix’s Outer Banks and on the UMC series A House Divided.
As for Pulliam, in addition to getting her start as a young child on The Cosby Show, she has appeared in productions such as Madea Goes to Jail and House of Payne. Just as she mentioned to PEOPLE, she was previously married, as she wed former NFL star Ed Hartwell in January 2016 just weeks after getting engaged. However, the two split months after their wedding. Their divorce was finalized in April 2018.
