When asked if James is "The One" for her, Kat answered, "I believe he is, so yeah."

As for James, when asked if he was happy, he replied, "Yes."

As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, James's Oscar winning wife Sandra Bullock officially divorced the West Coast Choppers owner this past June, only a few months after she learned her husband had been involved in a string of scandalous affairs during their 5-year marriage.
