The Associated Press is reporting that the marriage of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James is officially over. After accounts of infidelities were widely reported in the media, Bullock filed for divorce from James in April, citing "discord or conflict of personalities." A court in Texas finalized the divorce on Monday.
Bullock and James met in 2003 and were married in 2005. Bullock was experiencing a career high last spring. She won a string of awards for her starring acting role in "The Blind Side." Ten days after she won an Oscar for that role, reports surfaced in the tabloids that James had been unfaithful. She had thanked James during awards show speeches for helping her with her career and "having her back," only to find he allegedly had had affairs while she was away filming the Oscar-winning film. James publicly apologized to Bullock and his three children from a previous relationship, for who Bullock had been a devoted stepmom.
Bullock disappeared from the limelight while the marriage problems, possibility of divorce, and alleged mistresses were speculated about by media around the world. In April, Bullock appeared on the cover of People magazine and announced in an interview that she was divorcing James and had adopted a baby boy. The couple had begun the adoption process together, but Bullock said she now planned to raise her son as a single mother.
