Sandra Bullock files for divorce, adopts son

Sandra-BullockImage Credit: Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.comSandra Bullock has broken her silence about husband Jesse James’ betrayal and how she’ll handle it: “Yes, I have filed for divorce,” she tells People in the issue hitting newsstands Friday. “I’m sad and I am scared,” she added.

The cover story also reveals that Bullock and James started the adoption process four years ago and finally brought home a baby boy born in New Orleans in January. They wanted to keep the new addition to their family private until after the Oscars. And then news of James’ infidelity broke. Bullocks tells People she’ll now finalize the adoption of 3½-month-old Louis Bardo Bullock as a single parent.

    I love you Sandra and I wish you and your son the best.

    So glad you got rid of that fool – the only way from here is up.

    • Moe

      Sandra, you are not good looking and you are aging FAST! Stay with Jesse because after him, no one would have you.

      • Trina

        Wow, aren’t you ugly?

      • GetSomeMoral’s

        Hey Moe, your a poor excuse for a woman as is McGee & the others. Sandra is a beautiful person insdie & out, too bad the same can’t be said about you & the other prostitutes!

      • holly

        would love to see what you look like Moe…
        stop wasting your time on putting down other people and find out what is missing from your own life…loser….

      • Joan

        Moe, you are obviously one of Jesse’s “ho’s” because NOBODY in their right mind would say Sandra is not good looking and nobody would want her. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, the entire world knows that and any man would give his right arm to have a chance to be with her. You’ve done a great job of making yourself look like the total jackass that you are.

      • Macedon

        I’m pretty sure Moe looks like Bombshell McGee’s afterbirth.

      • Jim

        Moe, I think your CRAZY, out of line and stupid for calling her not BEAUTIFUL. I think Sandra is so BEAUTIFUL that I would die and do anything to be with her. Moe, i would love to see who you think is beautiful! **** I can tell you, go look in the mirror at yourself and you will see who it is.

      • Larry

        I’ll take her. Pretty soon she’ll be on the market looking for someone to nibble her poonanny and service her arseloch with his mighty missile of love.

      • Alba

        Lets see your picture!!!!

      • Sina

        Sorry Moe, just because she’a getting older and you think she isnt’ that good looking doesn’t mean she should stay with jesse. She adopted a Black baby. A Nazi can’t raise a Black baby. She’s doing right leaving him.

      • Leila

        You must be blind. And an idiot.

      • Matt

        I’d have you, Sandra! I loved you in Speed!

      • mary q contrary

        Though I know I am just fueling your fire by commenting, which is exactly what you want, let me point out this: Sandra Bullock could buy you and your entire family, and use you for toilet paper.

      • Sue1

        Moe is a troll, a happy one I’m sure because trolls feed on attention, even if it’s negative.

      • justwatching

        Moe,Moe,Moe
        Iknow what you look like and believe me,you couldn’t shine Sandra’s shoes.You already look 10yrs older than you are!

      • Jorjie

        Good luck Sandra..love is not always true love. But love for and from children is always rewarding.
        You give true love and it flourishes to true love.

      • alexkenji

        shut up moe your a HO!

      • jan

        YOUR STUPID1

      • JACQUELINE BREW

        you fool sandra is one of the most beautiful women in the world she was doing james a favor I am glad she kicked him to the curb

      • Tam

        Moe:
        Your comment about Sandra, was inappropriate. It shows that you are an unhappy person. A person can be beautiful on the outside, and not beautiful in the inside. Sandra, is beautiful inside, and out. You are the one that is not beautiful.

    • LOL

      Is it too early to call her? I’m just sayin’…

      • alice

        do you have her phone number?

    • Leila

      I’m so happy that she has her baby to love and focus on. It will make it much easier for her to get over her loser ex.

      • Syifa

        This is getting a bit more suvebctije, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    • Celia

      Sandra is gorgeous and I wish her and her BEAUTIFUL son the absolute best.

    • Terre

      It’s unreal how nobody even the press remembers how she helped Jesse FIGHT for his kids – WHAT SANDRA YOU FORGET THEM NOW THEIR DAD’S AN IDIOT – JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER LOSER WOMEN YOUR NO DIFFERENT TELL THE STEP KIDS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM TILL THE DADDY DON’T LOVE YOU ANYMORE THEN JUST WALK OUT OF ANOTHER CHILD’S LIFE WHO NEVER EVEN ASKED YOU TO LOVE THEM – YOU DID FOR THE DADDY SHE MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!HOW COME JESSE’S KIDS WEREN’T IN THE PICTURES WITH THE BABY?? SANDRA YOUR JUST AS GROSS AS THE MAN YOU CHOOSE TO LOVE

      • alice

        1. writing in all caps is annoying
        2. you are an idiot
        3. both sandra and jesse have said multiple times that she will remain in his kids lives

    • John

      I am so sorry your marriage has ended.Jesse was wrong and the world knows it.I only wished I could have had that same opportunity.I could have made you happy.I wish you and your new son well.

  • oh

    oh momg

  • wakeforce

    Sandy, what took ya so for long?

    • jonathan moore

      What do you mean what took her so long? It’s none of our business.

  • Tim

    Im very sorry to hear that she is getting a divorce. I had hoped that somehow they could have worked things out. But I am very happy that she has a new baby. She looks so happy being a mom and I know she will do a great job.

    • Sheesh

      He’s a Nazi. You don’t work things out with a Nazi.

      • pov

        Don’t be an idiot. Ideas like that insult all the people who were hurt/killed by actual Nazis. James is no more a Nazi than the people wearing habits in porn are nuns.

      • stuffwehate

        He is a Neo-Nazi, yes.

      • Cheila

        Oh, good grief. We’ve elected a POTUS who chums around w/ domestic terrorists. A drunk Hollywood idiot in a costume stupid enough to say, ‘Take a picture of this!’ is the least of our concerns.

      • Blaaaake!

        We’ve also elected Presidents who chum around with international terrorists (Bush Sr. – Osama Bin Laden in the 80s, or did we forget that we trained and armed that idiot to fight in Afghanistan against the Russians?) and GWBush (chum with the Bin Laden family who were flown out of the US right after 9/11 even though we had a no flight policy for all Americans yet he flexed his political muscle to get his favorite terrorist family out of the US and into Saudi Arabia safely).

        What exactly is your point then?

      • Ulriche Gurnblatt

        Blaaaake! is a perfect example of how liberals take facts and twist them to fit their agenda. Sad…

      • me

        And you Ulriche Gurnblatt are a perfect example of someone who have never understood what a fact it is.

      • you’re kidding right

        Deception and manipulation of fact falls along a partisan divide? Why not go a small step further and say democrats are evil, republicans are good, and a single party system without dissent is the only way we can have a true democracy?

      • tbaby

        Not to mention irony of her adopting an african american baby… And she was married to a “secret” (or not so secret??) NAZI… How was that going to work out, anyway???

      • dan w.

        people shouldn’t be so cavalier with their mouths. it is obvious by their choice of a son to adopt that he is not a nazi.

      • mere

        Um… You’re a moron.

      • hr

        I love how some conversation about a celebrity divorce, turns in to some political discussion- LMAO at you douchebags!

    • Dntbstpd1

      I for one applaud her for NOT ‘standing by her man’. A divorce is always painful, but I would never ‘hope’ that someone would ‘work it out’ with someone as obviously trashy as Mr. James.

      • DTC

        took the words right out of my mouth!

      • Lala

        You took the words right out of my mouth too. And I wish her all of the happiness in the word, WITHOUT him in it.

    • rush

      the fact is that he cheated on her with several women, “addiction” or not that is base for her to leave him.

      though divorce might be hard, sandra had shown that she always pulls through, and with this new baby boy i think she definatly will pull through.

      Go Sandy, all the best of luck to you and your little boy!!!

    • Lilo

      Worked it out? Are you serious? How is she supposed to work things out w/a loser like that? Womanizer, liar, & now, a nazi-sympathizer? Give me a break!!!!

    • LAJackie

      It’s bad enough if your partner cheats on you with one person – but multiple partners? How can you possibly rebuild trust after that?
      And I’m sick of those skanks coming out and apologising to her. They knew he was married. They shouldn’t have had sex with him in the first place.
      I sincerely hope Sandra can move on and that her new baby helps her in her healing process.

      • Leila

        Even if he had just cheated on her once… The fact that he was hanging out with a skank of that degree would be enough for me to be disgusted with the guy for the rest of my life. Plus would make me concerned re: STDs.

  • Sandy L

    Good for you Sandy, you have everything it takes to be the awesome parent I know you’ll be. Best of luck to you and little Louis.

  • Marie

    the little boy is sooo cute. i’m sure he’ll be the one man who makes her happy.
    and i’m glad she filed for divorce. she deserves better.

  • JC

    Why do i get the feeling this is a bad idea

    • Jenn

      The baby or the divorce?

    • ed

      You opening your mouth? Probably a bad idea.

    • JC

      I think she should have stayed with her husband so that child could grow in a real nuclear family…. and screw yourself ed

      • wakeforce

        JC, what decade do you live in, the 50s?

      • @JC

        if she’s financially able to raise a child on her own and she wants to, there’s no reason why she can’t do it, nuclear home or not. so what YOU THINK is irrelevant.

      • Jenn

        Right, because a father nails a bunch of skanks on the side is a great role model.

      • Cheila

        Great idea…wait until the kid is 11, 12 and old enough to watch Mom and Dad fight over the skanks Dad is doin’. Or watch Mom die of the HIV/Aids Dad brings home. You know, a nice ‘parting gift’.

      • VickiH

        Oh please, that is absolutely ridiculous. So she should stay with someone who keeps cheating on her, what a great role model for her son.

      • orville

        Or the other “nuclear family” that James had going on with his porn star ex. She’s a huge mess–that must have been one stable family situation for those kids. I feel sorry that they’re probably going to lose the stablizing influence that Sandy brought to their lives.

      • petuniafromhell

        I’m giddy happy for Sandra, good for her!

      • Joan

        JC, your way of thinking is soooo not true. And yes I am speaking from experience. I once stayed in a marriage 10 years for the sake of the children, I finally ended it because it just didn’t work and I wanted my children to grow up to learn what it was like to be in a family that the parents were full of love and showed that love. I remarried and they finally were able to see what real love is all about.

      • Angel2480

        You can’t be serious! Stay with him?? If she stayed, she would basically be giving him permission to run around again, she would be teaching his daughter that she should accept being treated that way when she is an adult, and she would be teaching the boys that running around on their wives is no big deal and perfectly ok.

      • Juneau

        I think this is way past any kind of nuclear family. He’s got kids from two different women and now one with Bullock. Funny, I don’t remember that scenario on Leave it to Beaver.

    • Are you for Real?

      Seriously JC. A “nuclear” family. You mean an unhappy family is better than a single parent? I am the product of a single parent and a large extended family. I support her decision totally! This beautiful young child is better to have this divorce happen now then 5 years from now when the press breaks even more stories and his family is yet again in turmoil. I agree that family is important but that doesn’t mean it is necessarily two parents! I am sure Sandy has great friends and family and little Louis will be well loved and supported! Give me a break–”nuclear” family. You are also probably someone who thinks that successful long-term gay parents shouldn’t be allowed to be loving parents. I agree–what decade are you from?????

      • Are you for Real?

        The term “nuclear family” as you are using it is more similar to a “nuclear bomb” then a good situation. Have you seen the pictures of Bombshell McGee? Again–I say give me a break!

      • cameobrooch

        Nuclear families are not all they’re cracked up to be. We need to return to the extended family model

  • vanessa

    I am amazed that it was able to be kept private for as long as it was. He is so adorable, and is very lucky, because Sandra seems like she will make an amazing mother.

    • llevinso

      I know right? I can’t believe this wasn’t leaked to the press somehow! But congratulations Sandy on the new addition to your family! I think she’ll make a great mom. I’m sure the divorce will be hard but she’ll come out stronger in the end.

    • amj

      Absolutely agreed! Good for you Sandy! He is precious looking and you look very happy on the cover of People! At my household we are pulling for you and love you dearly. A Sandra Bullock feature is always on our Netflix queue! Your fans support you and are happy for you and your new son!

    • M Weyer

      I get the feeling Sandra wanted to keep it quiet during the Oscar season for fear it might seem like a blatant attempt to garner votes. She might have announced it afterward but sadly, things have gone badly since. Hope this helps her out.

  • Stacie

    Shows what I know. I thought she already had kids.

    • Dntbstpd1

      No, all of the kids in their family were his from previous relationships I believe.

      • info

        They are all Jesse’s kids from previous marriages.

  • Ambient Lite

    Wow, I can’t believe they managed to take that baby home privately and keep that aspect of their lives out of the press. Good for her, I hope motherhood brings her some joy.

  • Belle

    Sandra you will be a great loving mom. Your son will give you the unconditional love that Mr. James obviously could not. In some way, I truly do believe Jesse did love Sandra unforunately he thought more about getting his next sex fix with the nearest skank available. Look in the dictionary under F-Up and there is a photo of Jesse.

    • sharsie

      and Tiger!

      • Mia

        and John Edwards!

  • Marianne

    This is probably one of the best PR moves (and life upgrades) ever for a much loved celebrity like her.

    • graeme

      I just love how well Sandra is playing the press. How the heck did she keep this a secret? Well done. She’s got a great team around her.

  • Stevex

    Good luck with your ugly, tattooed Nazi-wannabe skank, Jesse. You’re clearly the front-runner for 2010′s Poo-for-Brains award.

    • stuffwehate

      cosign with @stevex

    • Jim

      Jessie has shxt for brains. Too bad the Bad Boy lost his two pride and joy’s.

  • choncho’s mom

    Anyone wondering why this who Nazi thing broke, and they adopted an African-American child? What a sh*t storm for everyone involved…

    • margo

      If you read the story you would know that she adopted the baby before the “Nazi thing broke.”

      • choncho’s mom

        I realize that they adopted the baby in January…just saying, is this a coincidence? Someone is really TRYING to make a big deal out of this Nazi thing with him… it just can’t get any weirder…

  • Juice

    Wow, another white Hollywood elite adopting a black baby. I think I’m going to have to get one of them black babies myself.

    • pov

      Since ethnicity is such an issue for you how about you just pass on getting any baby at all. It’s not about white/black or whatever it’s about people interacting and, more importantly, kids having a loving home.

    • pov

      Since ethnicity and other things (“elite”, etc) are such issues for you – how about you just pass on getting any baby at all. It’s not about white/black or whatever it’s about people interacting and, more importantly, kids having a loving home.

    • mandy

      Most of the kids available for adoption in the US are African-American. Anybody who adopts without regard to race in the US is more likely to receive a black child than a white one. Sandra Bullock isn’t the one paying attention to race; you are.

    • wakeforce

      So, you would rather have one of those black babies sitting in an orphanage waiting to be adopted? If more black folks would step up to the plate, or could afford to raise these kids. Instead of adding another baby mama or daddy, go out an adopt a black child!

      • Say what?

        That’s over reaching. Black people aren’t the only people having babies out of wedlock or that give them up for adoptions.

    • Angel2480

      And if she had adopted from another country you would probably be the first one here screaming that she should have adopted in the United States.

    • Tam

      I hope not because the baby will not be loved.
