Sandra Bullock’s First Adopted Child Was ‘Not Planned’ — She Hid Him for 3 Months

Sandra Bullock, Hollywood’s leading actress, never considered settling down and starting a family of her own for a long time. Until disaster hit, she was satisfied with her decision.

Sandra Bullock had spent the majority of her adult life devoted completely to her successful acting profession.

Because of her ambition to achieve anything, the Hollywood starlet stated that she scarcely remembered huge portions of her life.

“I don’t remember significant portions of my life because I was on a mission,” Bullock explained. When it came to getting married and raising a family, the producer expressed her dissatisfaction with marriage.

The California native had the idea that after she married, she wouldn’t be able to do the things she used to do before becoming someone’s wife:

“I always imagined marriage as a death sentence, with a ball and chain and the words, ‘You need to stop doing these things and become a decent little wife,'” she says.

That’s not to suggest she wasn’t dating throughout that time. Bullock had a high-profile romance with “Love Potion No.9” co-star Tate Donovan, with whom she co-starred in 1992.

Her next relationship was with Matthew McConaughey, with whom she co-starred in the 1996 film “A Time To Kill.” When asked how she would do things differently in her late thirties, the Academy Award winner stated she would do everything the same way but with less concern.

People claimed she was unlucky in love, but the star of “The Proposal” was unconcerned since she was pleased with the joy and love she had at the moment.

Bullock visited West Coast Choppers in Long Beach, Los Angeles, with her then 10-year-old godson. The child was always talking about motorcycles and “Monster Garage” host.

As a result, she had her staff contact the host, Jesse James, and arrange for him to show her godson around his store. Bullock discovered James had called when she returned to the office.

She told her colleagues not to give James her phone number and instead give him her email address, saying she would ignore him. James sent her an email, and she politely declined. He emailed her again, this time with a list of 20 questions.

Bullock was taken aback by his provocative interest in politics, race, and life. She was also taken aback by the fact that he enjoyed jazz and classical music. Bullock learnt more about James during their conversation, even though she had no intention of dating him:

“It was not something I desired, required, or sought.”

Bullock, on the other hand, opted to take the risk and allow James to pursue a love connection. Before making their relationship public, the couple dated for two years. They married in a lovely ceremony in California on July 16, 2015.

When the Golden Globe winner married the auto mechanic, she became a stepmother to his three children, Chandler, Jesse Jr., and Sunny, whom she adored. During a news conference in 2007, she discussed being a stepmother:

“But here’s the thing: I have kids. I married into a family. I adore those kids. As a co-parent, my concern and love for those children is no different than if I had that child biologically.”

After four years of marriage, Bullock and James were granted full custody of his daughter, Sunny. After a months-long custody struggle with James’ previous wife, Janine Lindemulder, with whom he shares his younger daughter, the triumph was finally achieved.

According to rumors, when Sunny’s mother was sentenced to six months in prison for tax evasion in late 2008, the “The Lost City” star was there to assist raise her.

When Lindemulder was freed from prison in October 2009, a new custody battle over Sunny erupted. Despite this, Bullock supported her husband. Everything appeared to be in order at the moment.

During a June 2018 interview on “TODAY,” Hoda Kotb questioned Bullock if she realized she would never be a mother in her forties.

She agreed and stated that she had resolved not to have children. The “Ocean’s 8” star became tearful when she claimed that the natural calamity of Hurricane Katrina had changed her mind:

“Katrina hit New Orleans, and I was there. I had a feeling my child was around. It seemed strange.”
