More details

Celebrity friends like John Mayer and Ryan Tedder expressed their joy for the union by leaving notes of support on Valentine's Instagram post. On another note, James Valentine has been dating Alexis Novak, the owner of the vintage clothes business Tab Vintage, since at least 2018, when Valentine stated that he was reinstalling the Instagram app solely to wish his sweetheart a happy birthday. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image credit: ET Canada[/caption] At the time, he wrote, "I reinstalled Instagram just to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my gal [red heart emojis] ok deleting now again." Moreover, Valentine referred to her as his "wonderful fiancée" in a Valentine's Day tribute post that year, meaning they got engaged before February 2022. In addition, Jordi, the final album by Maroon 5, was released in 2021. On March 24, the rockers will begin a residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. Meanwhile, Novak's business was highlighted in Vogue last year for being a favorite of celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Willow Smith.
