In 2018, Jamie confessed to Sunday Life that Taylor, now roughly 26, was following in his footsteps to “become a floral designer.”

A few years later, the TV star was linked to now-fiancé Ameka Jane in 2020 after being spotted on a romantic getaway in the Blue Mountains. Jamie was head over heels for Ameka as he shared snaps from their romantic dinner and horseback riding adventures.

“Beautiful stay at the One and Only with my One and Only,” he wrote on Instagram.

While the couple haven’t confirmed how their paths cross, it is believed Jamie met Ameka in LA, where she was based at the time and he spent half of his time visiting his daughter Taylor.

“She said YES! Thrilled to announce our engagement. Thank you to my beautiful @amekajane for turning my life upside down,” he wrote. “I couldn’t be happier. Magic night for a magic girl.”

From their love grew a family as Jamie and Ameka welcomed their first child together in July 2022, little Beau Durie.

“My heart is overflowing ❤️,” he captioned the announcement post. “We are thrilled to introduce you to our beautiful baby girl… Beau Durie. Words can’t describe how proud I am of my girls.. Thank-you my beautiful Ameka for bringing so much joy into our lives.”

The new parents were basking in the joy of having a baby around the house, but it wasn’t much later when they welcomed Nash David Durie in February 2023.
