Sharon and Jim divorced in 2017 – neither of them has married since then, and Sharon is currently not dating anyone, and claims to be enjoying her single life, while Jim has been seen with several women in the building which he lives in, and claims to also be enjoying his single life in his own way.

Jim Acosta

Jim was born in Washington D.C. US on 17 April 1971, which makes him around the same age as Sharon. He is best known for the work he does for CNN, while he gained additional media attention after his incident with Trump in the White House as he asked him a question about refugees which Trump refused to answer and told him to sit down.

Jim’s father was born in Cuba and came to the US as a refugee when he was 11, just three weeks before the Cuban Missile Crisis – Jim’s mother is of Irish and Czech ancestry. Jim matriculated from Annandale High School in Virginia in 1989, and graduated from James Madison University with a bachelor’s degree in mass communication, with a minor in political science. While he was in high school, he worked for WXJM, which is a radio station run by students, and also as a reporter for WSVA local radio station.

Jim’s career started when he got his first job in radio for WMAL in Washington D.C. – he began working on television in 1994 when he landed his job with WTTG-TV as a desk assistant. Just a year later, Jim became a reporter and an anchor at WBIR-TV in Knoxville, Tennessee and stayed there for the next four years. In 1998, he got a job in Dallas where he worked as a reporter for KTVT-TV until 2000, when he moved to Chicago to work for WBBM-TV. From 2001 to 2003, Jim was a correspondent for CBS News’ Newspath service, which was based in both Dallas and Chicago so he was able to choose where he wanted to be. In February 2003, he began working as a correspondent for CBS News in New York, and later in Atlanta – he stayed with CBS until March 2007. During this time, he covered some important stories such as 2004 campaign of John Kerry, the Iraq War in Baghdad and the havoc caused in Florida and Louisiana by Hurricane Katrina. Jim Joined CNN in April 2007, and in 2008 covered the campaigns of two Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, while he also worked as an anchor of “Ballot Bowl” the CNN weekend political program. He became part of the “American Morning” CNN program as a correspondent, and made a large contribution to its coverage of the 2010 congressional election. He was promoted to a national political correspondent in February 2012, later on to senior White House correspondent, and became the chief White House correspondent on 9 January, 2018.

Jim came under a lot of attention after he attended the press conference at the White House on 7 November, 2018 and got into a verbal fight with Donald Trump. Donald called him ‘a rude, terrible person who shouldn’t be working for CNN’ while he also called CNN a ‘fake station’ with ‘fake news’ during his past press conferences; this was in response to Jim’s question about immigration and the Trump TV advertisement which was characterized as racist. Jim was then accused of putting his hands on a young woman who was working at the White House as an intern which wasn’t true, as people who were there saw what happened. Jim’s press pass was suspended, but later reinstated.

According to authoritative sources, as of early 2019, Jim’s net worth is estimated to be over $4 million.
