Sandra Bullock Gives Jesse James a Second Chance

By Rob Shuter Posted Jul 21st 2010 03:50PM

It's been no secret that Jesse James has been working overtime to win back ex-wife Sandra Bullock, and now sources tell me all his efforts have -- woh! -- actually paid off.

"Sandra has made it clear that Jesse is the love of her life," a friend of the actress tells me. "She's not the sort of lady that just stops loving someone, no matter what he did behind her back. Sandra misses him and their life together every single day. You have to remember Sandra raised Sunny [Jesse's 6-year-old daughter] as her own for the past five years. Packing her school lunches, brushing her hair, reading her bedtime stories. Sandra even took care of Sunny while Jesse was getting help in rehab."

Sandra and Jesse have been in constant contact since the day in March that Sandra left, however, sources tell me that recently their conversations have been less and less about the children and more about the two of them and everyday stuff.

"Jesse has made her smile again. She can finally have a normal conversation with him again without focusing on the pain and anger," a friend of Sandra's tells me. "She really is the most amazing person you will ever meet. Her heart is big and open; holding onto anger makes you bitter and twisted and that's not and never will be who she is."

Sandra's friend says Jesse has been charming the actress with stories of mundane tasks he's been undertaking at his new home in Austin, which happens to be just 16 miles from her Texas digs.

"She thinks its hilarious listening to him talking about what towels he needs to buy or that Sunny wants to paint the entire house pink! She would always be in charge of looking after the home in the past and knows interior decorating and Jesse is not a good fit."

In her first interview after the split, Sandra made it clear how important Jesse's children were to her, saying, "I don't want to know what life is like without those kids." And now that the court has approved Jesse's petition to let him take Sunny away from her biological mother, Janine Lindemulder, Sandra wont have to.

Jesse and Sunny, as well as his other children, Chandler, 15, and Jesse Jr., 12, will all relocate to Austin, just minutes away from the place Sandra calls home. And with Jesse's new workplace, a motorcycle shop just steps away from Walton's Fancy & Staple, a deli and grocery that Sandra owns, they will be seeing even more of each other.

However, its not just the children that have brought the couple back together. Famed M.D. Keith Ablow explains, "Infidelity is almost never a reason why educated, introspective and forgiving people stay separated or divorced. If other facets of the relationship are present -- including commitment to one's children and an overriding sense that life is more meaningful together than apart -- then marriages can not only survive infidelity, but end up stronger, despite it."

Jesse ex-wife agrees, telling this week's issue of Life & Style magazine, "They want to exclude me. He will do anything to get back in her good graces."

And whatever he's doing seems to be working.

You nailed it . Can't help who you love, sometimes unfortunately. I just cannot believe that she would ever be attracted to someone like J.J. My old grandma had a saying about that. "You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear"

I give her a lot of credit, she has a big heart. I wish them all the best.

By missywissy

my advice to her would be: He will be better for a period of time and then go back to his ways again. They ALWAYS do. Yes, all of them, always. Forgiveness is great, if you don't mind getting your heart broken again and having to learn the super hard way. At least you won't fall for another guy like that once your heart is broken in four instead of two. He is who he is. Either be able to love him through his love of crazy women on the side, or drop him for good.

By bd

have to agree
wish her luck, but give him a little while and he will be up to his old tricks
people do not change their basic character

You are so right, been through this, gave so many chances, people need to remember getting tested for all std's just for sleeping with your spouse. Its sickining.

By god72father

In the immortal words of Mister T " I pity the fool". Once a cheater always a cheater. We are who we are and no amount of therapy can make us happy trying to be someone else. In the final analysis Jesse will ultimately put Jesse first and do what makes Jesse happy. Happiness to Jesse is having a little on the side as it is with most men. If Sandra can accept that then she and Jesse will do fine.

Sandra can now proudly wear the "stupid helmet".

By gobluespartyon

Your dead wrong Nico like always Sandra is pretty & beautiful and she doesn't have the stupid helmet which is a lie. You wear the stupid Helmet Nico plus your a loser that needs to get a life.

OMFG! You are the weirdest troll I have ever encountered. I hope the "pretty and beautiful" Bullock enjoys herself with the racist and disgusting Mr. James.

No your the weirest Troll Nico you don't know what a troll is.

You are such unbelievable hypocrites, for months it was run, sandy, go girl, get away, he is trash, now you think it is so sweet she is back with a racist moron. GROW UP.

By rex

sasha, have you noticed that all those unbelievable hyppocrites are women
just thought i would take the time to point that out

By Toni

Yay Sandy! I think you two are really great together.

By jb

I hope they do get back together and have a stronger relationship. I wish them only the best. I think it is admirable that a couple tries to work it out instead of bailing out. It is their business.

By mark

Sorry to be so harsh Jesse but I cant for the life of me understand what she see's in you. The rest of us see a pig. You can be sure that the world will be watching and you wont be able to even glance at another woman with out Sandra finding out. There are PLENTY of us able bodied men out here who would treat her like gold if given just ONE chance, you have gotten TWO, good luck brother.

By Joe

You knew sooner or later she would forgive him. She misses the "Vanilla Gorilla"

By Frank

This is bad...

By Bill

I didn't know Bullock was that hard up!

By Treena

You don't know what you've got until it's gone - if you can put the past behind then please move forward. When children are involved, there is more to think about than just yourself.

If he is truly sorry and can stop his adultery, and she can live with the facts, I say more Congratulations are in order. I wish them the best.
