Sandra Bullock's children
Like some of Angelina Jolie's six children, Sandra has opted for adoption when it comes to parenthood. The star has two children, a son, and a daughter, who she adopted as a single parent. Her son Louis Bardo Bullock is 12 years old and was born in New Orleans in January 2010.
Sandra planned to adopt her son with her ex-husband Jesse James, but after the pair split and divorced, Sandra continued the adoption as a solo parent. Louis was adopted by the Hollywood actress when he was just 3 months old after the actress saw the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina and felt that her son was there.

Sandra told Today, "Katrina happened in New Orleans, and I knew. Like, just something told me that my child was there. It was weird. It was very, very weird."
Like Louis, Sandra's daughter Laila Bullock was also adopted in Louisiana. The youngster was born in 2012 and is now 10 years old, she was adopted by Sandra in 2015 after spending the first three years of her life in foster care.
Sandra Bullock's relationships
Sandra Bullock has previously dated actors Ryan Gosling, Matthew McConaughey, and Tate Donovan, plus footballer Troy Aikman.
The actress was also married to Monster Garage host, Jesse James, from 2005 to 2010. Their marriage hit the rocks when various women revealed that they had had affairs with Jesse during his marriage to Sandra.
Jesse responded to these rumors and told People, "The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment."
"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 continued to say, "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."
After this scandal erupted and Sandra was forced to postpone her promotional appearances for the movie The Blind Side—a film in which Sandra's performance won her the Academy Award for Best Actress—their relationship ended with a divorce in 2010.
The actress has been in a relationship with professional photographer Bryan Randall since 2015. An inside source told Closer, "They don’t talk about their relationship status that much, but it’s pretty clear what they have is a very special bond.”
"Sandra and Bryan consider themselves a solid, committed, family unit,” another source added. “There’s no doubt that he’s Louis and Laila’s dad.”
