Charlotte shared this iconic image of Nicole Kidman
The 2001 picture became a viral meme and was used recently by Jenna Dewan following a contentious divorce from Channing Tatum.
Charlotte posted it on her Instagram story without comment after it was reported James had signed up to celebrity dating app Raya.
The 39-year-old started dating Prada model Charlotte, 25, in November of last year.
It's unknown why the pair called it quits, but the meme indicates the split wasn't amicable.
Charlotte was James's first public romance since he and Outer Range actress Imogen, 35, ended their six-year romance.
James's profile on Raya features snaps of the star with a shaved head, which is a new look for his upcoming role in movie Sunny Dancer.
He is yet to comment on Charlotte's dig on social media.
Hollywood stars Nicole and Tom were married from 1990 to 2001 and adopted daughter Isabella, 31, and son Connor, 29.
The Big Little Lies actress recently spoke out about the famous meme, insisting she wasn't celebrating the end of her marriage.
'That was not me,' she said.

'That was from a film. That wasn't real life. I know that image!'
Happy Valley viewers know James, 39, as Tommy Lee Royce in the BBC crime drama.
Earlier this year it was revealed James has signed up to star in the third series of HBO smash-hit House of the Dragon.
He is stepping into the world of Westeros as Ormund Hightower in the Game of Thrones prequel.
A description for the character reveals he is 'Otto's (Rhys Ifans) nephew, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and Gwayne's (Freddie Fox) cousin, and the Lord of Oldtown. He is presently leading the Hightower host in a march on King's Landing to support his house against Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy).'

Prince William and Kate's 'intelligent' plan for Princess Charlotte post-Harry issue
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly crafting a strategy to shield Princess Charlotte from the same challenges faced by her uncle, Prince Harry. Last month, on Sunday, July 27, William and Charlotte were spotted savouring the Lionesses' victory at the Women's Euro 2025 final in Basel, Switzerland. A Royal expert has hinted that Charlotte's attendance at the game may reflect a fresh tactic to tackle a longstanding issue that has troubled Royal siblings like Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and even Queen Elizabeth's late sister, Princess Margaret. The issue centres on the so-called "spare" Royal who struggles with feeling "overlooked and purposeless". Writing for the I, Royal commentator Richard Palmer posited that the Waleses are determined to avoid any of their children feeling less valued, thus circumventing the "spare" dilemma. READ MORE - Jet2 'sorry' as mum and kids 'traumatised' at being refused to flight home READ MORE - Motorist gets petty revenge on 'entitled' neighbour who kept parking on their drive He further explained: "In a Royal Family traditionally focused on the need to create an heir to the throne, and then a spare just in case something goes wrong, the Waleses want their children to have emotional security instead of giving special treatment to the chosen one." In stark contrast to King Charles, the couple is placing their children's needs above Royal obligations. Additionally, insiders close to the Royals told Richard that Charlotte "has inherited her mother's poise and an inner strength and confidence", reports the Mirror. Bringing her along to celebrate the Lionesses' Euros success might be part of grooming her for her future responsibilities within the Royal Family. American Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith has hinted that Princess Charlotte might soon be stepping up to take on official duties for the Queen in the streamlined monarchy, with a possible focus on sports. Speaking to the i Paper, she remarked: "I think this is an intelligent way to do it. I would imagine Charlotte will be part of the picture. I'm not so sure about Louis." The term "Spare" resonates with those following Royal affairs, as it was the title chosen by Prince Harry for his revealing 2023 memoir. In his book, Prince Harry caused a global stir by disclosing private family matters. These revelations are believed to have strained Harry's relationship with his family, particularly with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. Prince Harry famously stepped back from his Royal responsibilities and moved to Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, a former actress, and their children Archie and Lilibet. Recently, there has been speculation that the Prince and Princess of Wales might leave Adelaide Cottage for Fort Belvedere in Windsor's Home Park Estate. Yet, Hello magazine's Royal editor, Emily Nash, casts doubt on these rumours, pointing out that her sources say "they've been very happy" at Adelaide Cottage. She highlighted their current situation: "Enjoying precious time together as a family of five, with no live-in staff and with easy access to Lambrook, the Berkshire school attended by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis." Yet, she didn't rule out the chance of them moving in the future, remarking that William, with his considerable Duchy of Cornwall income, could comfortably afford another home. Emily also mentioned there's a "precedent" for such decisions, referencing instances like the late Queen bestowing Gatcombe Park on Anne, Sunninghill Park on Andrew, and Bagshot Park on Edward.

Aquaman star Jason Momoa admits he gave up smoking after near-death experience
Film star Jason Momoa, famous for his role in the Aquaman superhero movie, has revealed that he experienced a near-death experience while out surfing in the Hawaiian sea Hollywood star Jason Momoa has spoken of a near-death experience at sea - and said it made him quit smoking. The beefcake actor is famous for his role in the Aquaman superhero movies battling to rule the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. But Jason said he faced his own trouble in the ocean with a fight for life when he was surfing in his native Hawaii with three pals. He revealed: "We paddled 13 miles down the coast and you're kind of almost a mile offshore. We're about seven miles into it and my leash snapped. And it's so windy on Maui and so the board just went, I couldn't even see it anymore." It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce's lock screen. Jason, 46, said he was being battered by 10-foot waves crashing down on his head in a notoriously dangerous part of the water surfers dub "s***f***s". He continued: "It pulls you out and you just get hit with these waves. "So I was stuck in this crazy spot and unknown to me I was really on the outer reef and they couldn't see me. I had my paddle and I was waving it and they couldn't see me. "And the waves were so big, it basically took my shorts off it was so f***ing big. I was out there for a while and then I just couldn't see anyone coming to get me. And I couldn't move anymore and my arms and my legs gave up after, you know, I was out there for a while." Jason said he was thinking of his baby daughter, who was just three-months-old at the time, when his friend Larry Hamilton came to his aid. He explained: "He came from behind and I had already given up. My body stopped, like, I couldn't move my arms anymore and I bubbled down. "And then my toe hit the outer reef. Like, I literally gave up and I'm screaming inside and my foot just hits the outer reef. And I don't know if it was a f***ing whale or like it just could have been one rock. But I just reached down, grab it. I jump up. "I get hit by another wave and I dig my feet into the coral. And I'm literally in the middle of the ocean. And I'm just... I could barely put my lips above just to breathe and get a break. But I had already given up. So it's like you've already given up and died and have a second chance at it. "Then I still stayed out there for like 10 minutes. I was hanging on the side of this reef. And I hear Larry come from behind and he's on my board towing his board. And I get on and he's like, 'Are you alright? I'm like, 'No.' I remember seeing him, but I was 10 minutes dead already." Jason admitted to the SmartLess podcast that his fear that he was going to die was so great that he prayed to his ancestors. He also told the hosts - fellow actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett - that the scare prompted him to quit smoking. The Game of Thrones actor said: "I have seven more miles to paddle. My feet are covered in blood. And I'm just literally looking for my ancestors just paddling the rest of this way, head down and we get out. "I do believe in my ancestors. I prayed to my grandmother and my grandfather. I was reaching and I was in a bad position and if you're stuck out there in that kind of waves with no board, you're f***ed and there's just no way to swim in. I don't have that. So it was a bad spot to be in. "And I mean, I could have been trolling, there could be sharks everywhere, but I'm just like trolling this whole f***ing coast. I used to smoke and I used to smoke like two, three packs a day. I couldn't stop for my kids, I couldn't stop for my ex. I couldn't stop smoking. "And the moment I came out, I never smoked again. Like, I just died. Like I tried and tried, but like I couldn't do it again because I just, I gave up. Like, I gave up my life." *The SmartLess podcast interview with Jason Momoa is on general release from August 11.
