However, the life of an attorney was not satisfying enough for the versatile Jamie. Thanks to an incredible turn of events and her go-getter attitude, she changed professions – perhaps encouraged by appearing in a Burger King commercial during her teenage years – and eventually ended up working as an anchor and a news reporter for CNN.

“Strange Inheritance” and her other projects

Nowadays, Jamie works as a news correspondent for Fox News Channel (FNC), as well as being an anchor for the same company. Prior to that, she worked for some smaller local TV stations, and even for CNN.

Divorce

Marc was 20 years older than Jamie, but this difference in age did not seem to pose a problem for the couple. However, Marc soon developed a heart condition, and they even wrote a book together called “Back to Life After a Heart Crisis: A Doctor and His Wife Share Their 8-step Cardiac Comeback Plan”. In the end, they divorced in 2011, and it seems that Jamie is still looking for the next big love of her life.
