They attended the 30th annual Race to Erase MS Gala. There, James opened up about how he and Atlas had been taking care of each other since Anne's passing.

"We're taking care of each other and taking it one day at a time," he shared. "We still miss her, we miss her every day, love her."

He continued on to share that Atlas wants to make a name for himself, with no desire to follow in either of his parents' footsteps. "He does not want to be an actor," he said. "He is really into tennis, he takes it seriously and plays every day for about two hours."
