Sandra Bullock's personal life pretty much fell apart in 2010, just days after she took home the Oscar for best actress thanks to her role in The Blind Side. In early March, several women claimed to have had affairs with Sandra's then-husband, motorcycle builder and reality TV star Jesse James. He later responded to the rumors with a public apology to Sandra, saying, "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me," and asking for forgiveness for the "pain and embarrassment" that he caused. He subsequently checked into rehab to "save his marriage," but Sandra filed for divorce weeks later.
Sandra and Jesse had begun the process of adopting a child while they were married and brought their son, Louis Bardo Bullock, home from New Orleans in January of that year. After their split, Sandra announced that she would be raising the baby as a single parent.
In 2013, Sandra opened up about the devastating breakup, saying that she felt "permanently broken," adding, "You don’t think it will pass when you’re in the middle of it, but it does. I’m so lucky to have what I have. I have a beautiful child and friends and family I adore. I’ve got everything I want, and it couldn’t be sweeter, better, or more fulfilling."
