James previously penned a heartfelt tribute to Leah for Valentine's Day earlier this year. He wrote at the time on Instagram: "Happy Valentine's Day [Leah]. You have the biggest heart and the biggest smile. You never fail to make me laugh every single day and you brighten up every room you walk into. So many amazing memories already and I feel like we're still just getting started on what's to come."
Leah also celebrated the romantic day on her own account, writing to James: "My love, Happy Valentine's Day. Our 3rd Valentine's. You're such an incredible person with the warmest heart, generous soul and you have so much love to give. Forever grateful for everything you do for me. [...] Ps I can't wait to have your babies."
