Jamie was an overprotective dad, and he always tried to protect Corinne.
He tried to give her the best life financially and took her to great places.
However, Corinne was not happy with those things. She wanted Jamie's presence in her life, but Jamie was busy with his work schedule.
Jamie's relationship started getting nasty with Corinne, and there was a time when both of them even went to therapy.
On the therapy, his daughter told him to his face that she didn't like him.

Jamie Treats His Children Like Adults
Jamie gave an interview on Jimmy Fallon's late-night show where he talked about his book Act Like You Got Some Sense.
He wrote that book inspired by his grandmom as she used to tell him to act like he got some sense wherever she took him and he used that to raise his daughters.
In the book, he mentioned that he had always treated his daughters like adults and not kids, since they were small.
As a father, he feels that a father should have open conversations with his daughter, mainly about dating things.
As a boy or man himself, he knows what and how a guy could be, so he just wanted to make his daughters clear about it with proper conversation.
Jamie Didn't Care About His Life
Jamie is a well-known actor and comedian for his heroic performance on screen.
But what made him a real hero outside the screen was his generous act of saving someone's life.
In 2016, Jamie saved a truck driver's life. The truck driver, Brett Kyle, was driving under influence, which got his truck crash.
It happened outside Jamie's house, and when he heard the crash, he immediately came out and saw the truck was burning.
Jamie had a quick instinct and went straight off to save the driver's life without thinking about himself.
He managed to save the driver from dying. The truck driver later visited Jamie and especially thanked him for saving his son's life.
