How Namia became James’s life partner, from a dancer
Written by: LondonAge Desk | 23 Oct 2025, 11:36 PM
In June 2023, James and Namia Amin met after a concert in Los Angeles. From that fateful evening, a closeness gradually developed between them. Although Namia returned to Bangladesh after James’s US tour ended, she was drawn back by the pull of her heart and travelled again to be with him.
A year after their first meeting, the couple tied the knot on 12 June 2024 in an intimate ceremony in Dhaka. They then began living together at a residence in Banani.
From Dancer to Life Partner
Namia Amin is a dancer who was largely raised in the United States. Her parents, Nurul Amin and Nahid Amin, are currently settled permanently in America.
From dance to romance, and then suddenly becoming life partners—hers is a story that feels almost like a modern-day fairy tale.
Parenthood and New Responsibilities
Within a year of their marriage, the family was blessed with more happy news. On 8 June 2025, at 3:35 a.m. local time, their first son was born at Huntington Hospital in New York. The child has been named Jibran Anam.
James said, “By the infinite grace of Allah, we are doing well… please keep us in your prayers.”
This is James’s third marriage, bringing with it new circumstances and new responsibilities.
Past Relationships and Family Life
Before this new chapter, James’s life included earlier chapters:
His first wife was actress Rathi (married in 1991, divorced in 2003).
His second wife was Benazir Sazzad (married in the early 2000s, divorced in 2014).
From his first marriage, he has one son and one daughter; from his second marriage, he has a daughter.
Now, with a new family, James is stepping into a fresh phase of life.
Friends say this new family, new responsibilities and new emotions could mark a turning point in his life. These feelings may well add new colours to his creativity—new songs and new ideas.
James himself has already hinted, saying, “It’s been a long time since a new song was released… but new music is coming very soon.”
