Everything We Know About James From ‘Married At First Sight’
Matched with Frankston barber Joanne Todd, wealthy groom James Susler is sure to make us all feel extremely poor this season.
James is a 44-year-old successful Brunswick businessman and father of three, who has been single for over 12 months following his divorce. Speaking to 9Now, James said that he’s still on good terms with his ex-wife. “We’re best friends, we really are. But we just grew apart over the years. Three kids makes a lot of strain in a relationship, and we’ve got twins as well,” he said.
“It was hard, but it doesn’t mean I don’t love her. She loves me, I love her. We’re just not in love anymore.”
As the owner of a prestige car company, James has a love of luxury cars and designer clothes. He made his first million in his late 20s, and now owns a fleet of fancy cars including Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Porsches, and Rolls-Royces. James even owns a Rolex Yacht-Master watch, which typically costs between $20k and $60k. (Seriously, just check the time on your phone like the rest of us.)
According to the Daily Mail, James lives in a two-storey mansion in Brunswick that boasts its own cinema and is worth $1.4 million. James also appears to be an avid sailer, with a pic of himself steering a yacht on his Instagram.

James has high standards when it comes to the women he dates. “If you meet someone and you think they’re not the perfect person for you, then I’ll not even engage in that relationship or end it quite early,” he told 9Now.
The businessman admitted that he often hides his lavish lifestyle when he first starts dating someone new, so that he can attract the “right type of woman”. James added that sexual intimacy is a huge part of what he needs from a relationship. “I like to always feel connected with my partner. It could be holding her hand, a brush of the knee. Sex is one of the most important things in a relationship. That’s the ultimate way to connect with someone. You can’t get any more connection than that,” he said.
I truly hope there’s no cameras in the bedrooms this season.
