Sandra Bullock has dropped a different kind of bombshell than her estranged husband, Jesse James.
The Oscar-winning actress reveals to PEOPLE that in January she adopted a boy from New Orleans.
Her newborn son, Louis Bardo Bullock, is three months old. She and James began the adoption process four years ago, before becoming parents earlier this year. His name was chosen because Bullock heard Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World' when she first met the baby boy.
The couple decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. "I did not want him brought into a world that would not have been too sincere to him as I wanted. I wanted to be alone with him as long as I could then we had to tell his story," she said, MSNBC reports.
Unfortunately, just days after Bullock took home her trophy, James' many affairs came to light. The actress says she is now adopting as a single parent and is divorcing her husband, according to PEOPLE.
"Yes, I have filed for divorce," she told the magazine, adding that she is "sad and scared" about it.
James' reaction to the divorce has left a "huge hole" in his heart especially because Bullock has chosen to adopt son Louis as a single mom. "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 told PEOPLE.
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 first was in a statement to deny that a sex tape of the two of them existed. ("There is no sex tape. There never has been one and there never will be one.")
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, everything shattered when Michelle "Bombshell" McGee revealed she had been having an affair with Jesse James.
The 'Monster Garage' host apologized to his wife and children after Bombshell's claims surfaced.
"There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way," he said in a statement at the time. "This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
Eventually, several more women stepped forward, including stripper Melissa Smith, who recently wrote a letter to Bullock, apologizing to the 'Miss Congeniality' star, Brigitte Daguerre, Merilee Gerth and an anonymous woman who refused to tell her story. Rumors suggested that at least seven women were involved with Jesse during his marriage.
McGee herself has offered to sit down with the actress to discuss her relationship with James.
Bullock quickly moved out of the home the two shared together, and has stayed mostly quiet, while James entered rehab for sexual addiction.
There is a black football player and his wife that adopted a white baby. Kids name is Mariah. I think it took them 4 years because they were waiting on a white newborn, then she just wanted a newborn. JMHO
That's such crap now that every time someone has an affair (or multiple affairs) suddenly they have a "sex addiction". My soon to be ex husband tried to pull that same stunt until we got into court, then suddenly he's not one any more. Why can't people just own up to their selfishness instead of every little thing being an addiction??
I am so happy for her and the new baby. I wish her all the love and luck in the world. You are a beautiful person and you deserve to be with someone who loves and respects you back. Good luck with the Louis. He is a very lucky child to have you as his mom.
yes, they have. I know of a black couple that adopted an Asian child as well. Josephine Baker (google it) adopted children of all races well before Angelina Jolie
Divorce the bum, i was upset when you married him anyway, i was hoping that would be me. However, good luck with the kid, and thank god you adopted from the US of A. you go girl, FU Madonna. LOL
All you tabloid employees should be thrilled to death about this news of her divorce, and even more thrilled to hit the rest of us over the head with it. Sheesh...
Illbootengotti: Question for you...would Jesse James be a schlub or a schmuck. Anyone out there who has a better understanding of Yiddish than I do, could you help on the word usage. Would Putz or Poyer be better?

This is what happens when A-list actors go slumming for D-list reality TV schlubs.
