Jesse James Reacts to Divorce, Bullock's Adoption

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 28th 2010 10:12AM

Sandra Bullock dropped a bombshell when she revealed to PEOPLE that in January she adopted a boy from New Orleans and is divorcing husband Jesse James. Now, Jesse James is finally opening up about the news, telling PEOPLE he has a "huge hole" in his heart.

"My whole life has been full of hard decisions. The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest. The love I have for Louis cannot be put to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart," James said.

She and James began the adoption process four years ago, before becoming parents earlier this year. The couple decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars.

Bullock was on top of the world when she won her first Oscar for her role in 'The Blind Side.' But just eight days after her victory, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee revealed she had been having an affair with James. Eventually, several more women stepped forward. Rumors suggested that at least seven women were involved with Jesse during his marriage

"I ask that you please do not judge Sandy for the things I have done. She has done no wrong. She played no part in any of this. She has been an amazing wife, mother and best friend for the over 6 years we have been together," he said.

According to HollywoodLife.com, James relinquished his rights as a parent to Louis in the divorce papers, allowing Sandra full custody in what experts call an unusual move.

Bullock says she is now adopting as a single parent and is divorcing her husband. "Yes, I have filed for divorce," she told the magazine, adding that she is "sad and scared" about it. This is only the second time Bullock has spoken out in the aftermath of her husband's sex scandal, which broke in mid-March.

The West Coast Choppers mogul publicly apologized to Bullock and his three kids and recently returned home after a 30-day stay in a treatment facility, where he sought help for "personal issues."

"I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four children, and the mate Sandy deserves, and realize that this is an incredible mountain to climb. But I believe that the steps I have taken in the last 30 days are the foundation for making this happen. The lifelong commitment I am making is what being a real husband and father is all about," James added.

Sandra Bullock fell in love with Jesse James because he was a "MAN" in every way. She is a strong woman with alot of drive and she chose a man with the same qualities. Unfortunately, when men are strong and driven and successful they also tend to get bored easily, need to have their ego stroked often and their always looking for "something". This can mean other women. Sandra this is not your fault. Jesse truly does love you and I am sure he is devestated that you will not give him another chance. He knows the wrongs he has done. Should you give him another chance? Be his best friend, share parenting duties, keep him in your life. He will be the best friend you ever had, but, don't take him back as a husband. He won't want to, but he probably would hurt you again. He just can't help himself. Being alone obviously is not his strong suit and you can't stop your life to take care of his. My ex-husband is a "Jesse James". He is one of my best friends and we talk weekly. We hardly ever see each other, but I know I can call him about our grown children, a broken down car, a bill I can't pay, whatever and he is always there for me. He has been married again and divorced and he has cheated on every woman he has been with. Just in his nature. Take my word for it though he will always love you and you are the only woman he will ever respect. Keep you head up Sandra, life does go on.

"The only woman he will ever respect"?? If he respected her, he wouldn't be where he is now! ALONE and begging for forgiveness. The thing about that is, they beg for forgiveness, then turn around and forget all about the begging and go right back to whoring it up. My ex-husband begged for forgiveness every time he cheated, but notice I said EVERY TIME? If he was serious, there never would have been a second time, and the fact that there was a FIRST time is proof that he may "love" his wife (although I doubt he is capable of love beyond love of self), but he damn sure doesn't RESPECT her!! And all this goes for JJ, too.

By JD

I wish there was really a way for you to write this to Sandra and that she could actually see it. Very well put

By GK

One of the most honest and intelligent posts I've seen on this subject. There are reasons for everything' even if we don't understand or agree with them. People are who they are and weaknesses don't always make them evil. I hope they both can agree to stay friends and that their family and friends accept their decisions.

By bb

thats a fantastic piece of advice. i think you are right...

By Liberty

Please do not advice people to do what you did. If a person lacks self esteem, they allow other people to define them by the way they treat them. It's disgusted to be cheated on and still want to be around the cheater. If one's heart is pure and not cheating too, it's hard to forgive such betrayal. Sandra, you are still beautiful inside and out. Let him go, you can do 'good' all by your self; you go girl! I am proud of you Sandra.

I'm having a hard time understanding why anyone would want a best friend who betrays your trust and confidence, disrespects the person you are, lies to you, flagrantly cheats on you, and still does't take responsibility for the severity of their behavior and actions. I'm all for forgiveness and civility,especially in families where children are involved, however, I expect more from someone who calls themselves a best friend and Sandra deserves that too.

...left a huge hole in his heart....
Hmmm... That prospect never occurred to you when you were being a selfish pig and skanking around, did it, Jesse? The pain you say you feel now is exactly what you deserve.

By Shaa

What does he mean LET, his wife end their marriage..." I dont think it was your choice buddy, lol...It wasnt a hard decision for her I bet!

By Gabs

That just means he isn't contesting the divorce legally.

By spear401

Awww, poor Jesse. Mean, old Sandra...she wants a life, without him. LOL!

By Robin

Good for Sandra! She will make an excellent Mom! You don't need a man to be a loving parent!! You go girl!

By gamesetmatch

Now as to Michelle "bombshell", please do look in the mirror and then look at the picture of Sandra and her beautiful baby boy. Do you see superior?? I thought not. Right now, I would have to reconsider your whole moral outlook on life.....wait no..don't. What you are deserves no explanation. Trash has an expiration date also and if I were you, I would head to a dumpster and not wait for a call from Sandra. She has joy to embrace. Your just misery.

By Colin

Why Jesse would even touch such skanks really bothers me. I guess he doesn't have any discretion.

By MJ

How sick and pathetic is this man. To have the whole world at his fingertipsand blow it for some skanks. To go ahead with the charade and adopt a baby with Sandra knowing he was sticking it to anybody he could find ( my space? really) and then look so lovingly at her during the academy awards? He is a real sicko and good riddance.

you guys are soooo weird, who cares about either one of them?

By Mz Gibbs

You said who cares, obviously you do because you took the 3 mins out of your life to respond.

I do think he did love his wife and family. The questions why would he risk losing everything? Don't people think the will get caught? And the women that would hurt these families are just out for their 15 minutes and money. It makes me sick. I know if the men/women didn't want to do this they wouldn't and it takes two. I just don't understand.

By Nancy

I am always amazed as to what people have to say about someone they don't know. The name calling is something my mother taught me not to do. Sandra and Jesse say NOTHING bad about each other yet strangers have nothing good to say, amazing. I wish them both happy times ahead.

As to why someone cheats, I am sure someone you know has cheated, you just don't know.
