The duo first stepped out as a couple in August: making out at a Las Vegas museum exhibit and then holding hands in Fredericksburg, Tex.
The fellow reality stars met about six years ago. "He had his show on Discovery," she said in a radio interview. "That's how we met. I was looking for some advice when I first started Miami Ink."

Tell Us What You Think
83This is a total disaster in the making.. but oh well. Let the temporary happiness thrive.
Ohhh what a match made in heaven. He's probably already cheating on her. Cheaters can't change. It's an illness =p They'll be broke up in a few years, once she's fed up. She'll hide it for a while and pretend everything is okay and then BOOM. She'll tell us all what we already know. He's a cheater, and always will be.
Thank God!! keep the trash together!!
wow tanya, so sandras the "girl" and kat von d is the "woman"?? i would have thought the opposite
I would just to add that Kat Von D HAS been married before. Her ex husbands name was Oliver.
Has Kat gotten plastic surgery? I just started watching the first season of LA Ink and she seemed so much prettier back then.... And now her face looks all outta wack. Maybe I am just seeing things.
Once a cheater, always a cheater.....look out Kat
best of luck--to them--- kat is cool-- love your perfume
My my...we sure have a lot of hateful hags on here today (Scottland Sandra Cannon). Maybe Sandra was too busy being the good girl and he felt he deserved a WOMAN... and in comes Kat Von D. Hold on to your husbands, you stepford wives. You may be next to be replaced lol.
Well, the majority here has already said anything I could about this disgusting couple, may they both rot in hell, James for being a low life snake in the grass and Von D for being such a dumb cu**. KARMA BABY! Cant wait to see this one come around and bite BOTH of you in the a$$, in the meantime, Sandra is doing just fine and has shown nothing but class thru this whole humiliating ordeal. Hands down, Sandra is a Lady, Von D is a lady of the night.
It's good Sandra got out! Who knew that Jesse could stoop that low! Stinki PU
He went from classy to trashy, good ridance Jesse. Nasty a$$.
I thought it was Brad and Angelina!
they deserve each other. good riddens to bad rubbish!
Perfect match.
What an idiot. Sandra is SO much better off without him. Anyone she dates is a hell of a step up than this loser.
It will NOT last. If he can cheat on someone as beautiful (inside and out), classy, elegant and silly as Sandra is. Kat doesn't stand a chance. He will do the exact same thing to her. Jesse is an a$$.
Stupid stupid girls loving bad bad boys.
Why is everyone so down on Kat? She's not the one who broke up his marriage. It was that nasty, porn person who helped him do that.
Kat was married before to Oliver Peck. Do your research Us!
