Monster Garage's Jesse James & Alexis DeJoria Split After 7 Years of Marriage

Jesse James and Alexis DeJoria are calling it quits.

The reality star and mechanic – who hosts Monster Garage – announced he is parting ways with the professional drag racer on Instagram on Tuesday (March 17).

“I know a lot of you have been asking if I will be attending the NHRA races this year to work on Alexis’ funny car,” Jesse wrote. “Its with an incredible amount of sadness to let you know Alexis and I have decided to end our marriage.”

“We spent close to seven amazing years together,” he continued. “Working on her race car for five of those years was one of the highlights of my life. Also a highlight was trying my best to be a good dad to her daughter. Something that will leave a huge hole in my heart forever.”

“Unfortunately at the end of the day our lives were just headed in different directions,” he added. “Creating a distance that was insurmountable. I wish her the absolute best in her racing and life. I hope you can respect our privacy in this tough time. Thank you.”

Alexis DeJoria is Jesse James’ fourth wife. He was previously married to Karla James, Janine Lindemulder, and Sandra Bullock (hear what he had to say about his split with Sandra).
