He and Vanessa Williams Met in Egypt in 2012

Jim Skrip and Vanessa Williams are still married and living together happily as husband and wife in New York. The couple met in 2012 in Egypt, and according to Jim, their meeting was unexpected. Meanwhile, Vanessa had previously been married two times before meeting Jim.

So, having been married and divorced two times, the actress was busy channeling all her time and energy into her career as well as raising her children when love came knocking at her door for the third time.

 

Talking about how they met on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Vanessa recalled that it was her Egyptologist tour guide who talked her into starting a conversation with Skrip. Jim and Vanessa were both on a holiday vacation in Egypt and while Jim was alone, Vanessa was in the company of her daughter Sasha. Interestingly, she noticed that Jim’s t-shirt had the name of her mother’s hometown (Buffalo) on it, and that drew her attention.

The actress approached Jim and asked if he was from Buffalo, to which he replied in affirmation, after which other friendly chats followed, and their conversation ended up lasting for about three hours. On the same day, Vanessa invited Jim to a dinner party in her hotel’s restaurant, and they had a much longer talk which she described as ‘unbelievable”.

From there, things started happening so fast for them, having developed mutual feelings for each other. On 26th September 2014, Williams announced during her appearance on The Queen Latifah Show that she had gotten engaged to Jim. Details about their relationship did not come to light until she made the revelation of her engagement, as they agreed to keep their relationship totally away from the media.

The Couple Got Married in New York in 2015

They had a lavish Egyptian-themed private wedding ceremony that had only their close friends and family in attendance. During a Live interview with Seacrest and Ripa, Vanessa said that Jim is her third and final husband.

This shows that, apparently, the Desperate Housewife star has found what she’s been looking for in a man, and fans hope that their love sure lasts forever. Today, it’s been 8 years since they tied the knot, and are still going on strong.

After their union, Jim Skrip assumed stepfather duties for Vanessa’s four children from her two prior unions. Devin, Jillian, Melanie, and Sasha Fox are their names. Skrip and Williams are not parents to any children. Jim is in his second marriage, although this is Vanessa’s third. However, nothing is known regarding his prior union or the existence of any offspring.

What Does Vanessa Williams’ Husband Do For a Living?

Vanessa Williams’ husband, Jim Skrip, is an accomplished accountant and financial officer. After graduation, he moved to Dallas and took his first job as an accountant at Аrthur Аndеrѕеn, an accounting firm. He worked there for a while and then decided to venture into the real estate business. He took a job as an assistant controller in a real estate company in Dallas and has since experienced massive growth in the field.

From Dallas, Jim moved to San Francisco, where he worked as a chief financial officer for a software company. Fully returning to real estate, he landed a mouth-watering opportunity to work as a director of assets management in a real estate company that was at that time controlling more than 5,000 apartments in multiple cities.

Currently, Jim Skrip works at The Harvey School as Director of Finance and Operations. His primary responsibility is to look after the day-to-day activities of the school accounting, cash flow, construction activities, etc. From his real estate career, Skrip earns decently, as his net worth is reportedly $10 million.

Meanwhile, it is no news that Skrip only came to public recognition as a result of marrying the celebrity actress Vanessa Williams. Hence, some part of his life is kept under wraps which is the reason some information about him is not ascertained. Conversely, his wife, Vanessa, is a public person and has most of her life in the limelight.

Over the course of her career, Vanessa Williams has achieved a great deal in both singing and acting and has also taken home a few prestigious honors. The couple is successful in their own right, although not enjoying the same level of renown. Whatever the case, it is reasonable to conclude that Vanessa Skrip is both richer and more well-known than her husband. Her estimated net worth is $25 million, more than double that of her spouse.
