2010 was the year of the scandal, with the Tiger Woods debacle carrying over to ring in the year closely followed by Jesse James’ massive betrayal of Sandra Bullock, which broke in mid March. Bullock handled that scandal with more grace and class than anyone could have imagined. She emerged six weeks later with an adopted baby that no one had any clue about, proving that she was able to keep the most important thing in her life an absolute secret at a time when she was all the tabloids were talking about. Sandra and Jesse have since divorced, with Jesse of course moving to Austin with his kids to be closer to her. According to In Touch, Sandra is planning for her former stepchildren to spend Christmas with her and her adopted son Louis, almost one. She’s even invited Jesse. In Touch has run exclusive interviews with Jesse’s ex Janine Lindemulder, so it’s possible this news is coming from her.
Sandra Bullock is planning to spend the Christmas holidays in Austin, Texas with [Jesse James]. And it’s all for the benefit of her adopted son, Louis, and Jesse’s three children, Chandler, 14, Jesse Jr., 12, and Sunny, 6.
“Sandra is making plans for a Christmas reunion for Louis and her former stepkids, so they can spend time together and bond,” a family insider tells In Touch. “And she’s agreed to allow Jesse to come, as well…
“Sandra wants to make sure Louis grows up knowing Jesse’s children, so she is willing to put the past behind her for the sake of the kids.
“Sandra knows that having Jesse’s family in Louis’ life is good for him… so she’s opening her home and her heart to the children, inviting them to visit at Christmastime.”

It sounds like Sandra is keeping it friendly and civil for the sake of her young son and the kids she grew to love. I wonder how much of an ass Jesse feels like when he realizes what he threw away.

she seriously can do no wrong. i’ve always liked her in movies but she’s the epitome of class and good grace in the face of adversity which makes me like her as a person, as much as is possible with someone you’ve never met!
thats nice, i guess
No way in hell I would invite his skanky ass. I would take the kids and enjoy Christmas and leave him at home.
But that just shows you what a classy woman she really is.
This is the highest of the high roads. I even applaud Jesse for keeping family first. Understanding and accepting the fact that a relationship is over is no reason to walk away from or disrespect the life long responsibilities that relationship produced.
She should seriously be nominated for sainthood!
Bet they still get back together!
And I’m guessing KVD will parade along with Jesse as their new stepmom, barf.
Such an amazing woman!!!!
Bet they still get back together!
word
No human is this saintly. I say they end up back together. GROSS.
Jesse is manipulating Sandra with his kids just to get back together with her. Don’t fall for that trick Sandy!
i think these two are sleeping together again…….not such a good idea.
@mala…KVD and Jes broke up awhile back. Didn’t you see th stories where she threatened producers of her show to make sure there was no mention of him, since she was back with someone else?
I love Sandra wants to be with those kids. for all intents and purposes, Sunny is practically her daughter-not bio, but she raised that girl. kudos Sandra.
I want her hat!!
She is so classy. She seems to have handled this situation with such grace and maturity.
I agree with Rita. And that little baby is so totally cute! I’ll bet she loves playing with his little fluffy hair.
She seems way smarter than that. She maybe will allow him to drop the kids off?
God bless her for adopting, because lord knows it’s hard enough with your own child, but she needs to hire a hairdresser to do that baby’s hair. I went through my childhood with a mother who had no idea how to handle my tight curls…so I’m speaking from experience!
Awww, Louis got a little Steiff lamb, how sweet!
I sometimes wonder how Sunny has been doing since the divorce, Sandra was very close to her. But of course JJ not only didn’t think about hurting his wife, but also his kids. What a scum!
Love Sandra and wish her the best!
Agreed @jenny. Maybe not a hairdresser but his hair does need some oil. African American hair gets so dry and it looks like his hair is very dry. She could rub some baby oil on her hands and then rub through his hair. That would bring it back to life!
Personally, I wouldn’t want a racist azzhole around my young son, and I wouldn’t want to explain to my son years later why I allowed a racist azzhole near him. But that’s just me. I think she’s a better person than I am.
Let me get this straight. She wants to expose her son to a man who is known to hang out with racists, have swastikas tattoed on them, has done the Nazi salute and publicly cheated on her. Being nice is one thing, but her son should be her first priority.
@benny….nah, she just wants to get laid again
Wny doesn’t she invite Keanu instead?
C’mon Sandra, use your head. Jesse disrespected her like nobody’s business and does not deserve any niceties from her. Inviting the children is one thing, although I wonder if they should be spending Christmas with their biological parents instead, but inviting the douchebag himself is not necessary. Stay far, far away from him Sandra!
there is a thin line between nice and pathetic….sandra has crossed that line. Hope they mean he will drop the kids and leave.
Good for her, you divorce your spouse but not the kids. She helped raise those kids for 5 years, she can’t just walk away and punish them for the faults of the parents, that would be horrible for the children. Jesse is a (*&^$#&$%#&^%$#%$#$% and then some, but he seems to understand that she is important to the children and they need her in their lives.
Oooh, I hope Jesse has enough sense not to show up. He can drop the kids and come back in a few hours.
Jesse-What a loser! I really think he put her on a pedestal (from what I saw at the Oscars), and then he compartmentalized his big (and little) brain so he could get down and dirty with the tattoo chicks.
That guy is not a good influence for her son, but it is admirable that she’s keeping her step-children in her life.
High road? Classy? Try door mat, pathetic. Just move on…. O’ yeah I forgot, it’s all about the kids, sure.
I’m surprised that people are bashing Sandra for wanting to remain close to the kids. She loved and helped to raise the kids. She can’t and shouldn’t turn those feelings off. Also if she was so in love with Jesse, Sandra wouldn’t have divorced him.
Sandra has put Jesse behind her so it does not bother her IF he comes or if this is even true. Jesse was at Kats book signings in Texas. I’m sure there will be pics this weekend of Jesse & Kat now that she is back in CA.
That would suck to marry someone who you think is your match then find out he’s a dog screwing every bitch around. I’m sure her ego and heart are still hurting even though the little boy has helped keep her busy. The child was meant to have a different upbringing, as part of a family unit, with a strong man at the helm. How do you move beyond that in such a short time span? Money does not buy love or happiness.
I still dont believe that she had no idea about the nazi stuff and that grosses me out. I think she divorced him to save her career, sorry, I am not buying the saint act.
@Jojo (#33)- I think you’d be surprised how well some people can hide aspects of themselves. Even from those they love and live with. It’s entirely possible that his tendencies are something he’s always kept to himself, especially if he knew what Sandra’s reaction to it would be.
She’s gone through this entire mess with grace and dignity. Her willingness to tolerate having Jesse there just proves to me how much she *loves* those children.
She isn’t allowing her anger or pain to deprive the children of positive bonding experiences, and happy family get-togethers. I believe she’s doing everything she can to make things work in that regard, which means inviting Jesse as well. Though I would *hope* he’d opt out for her sake.
@Hakura But that is it though, he had a surf board with hitler on it in his office for all to see and from what I have heard he has quite the collection of nazi garbage he is proud of and that is not something you can hide. hitler murdered millions of people, if someone had a charles manson “memorobilia” collection, they would be considered a complete freak. I dont want to upset people by bringing it up but I have a hard time understanding this. I hope the Babs Walters interview with SB coming up clears some things up!
I think it’s great that she’s still involved in Jesse’s kids’ lives. She really loves them and provided maternal stability in their lives for years. I just hope she’s not getting Jesse peen on the side, though; that would be a TERRIBLE idea. Dude’s toxic.
she is horny for his dong….. Poor woman
Jennfer Aniston should take a lesson from Sandra Bullock, Sandra isn’t fooling me she is going to get back with Jesse just watch, JA still loves Brad Pitt should have fought for him could have been a middle-age crisis, years afterwards instead of using marraige counseling like a mature adult she uses a drunken coke seems crazy and immature.
