Bullock to continue motherly role

SANDRA Bullock will continue to co-parent Jesse James' children.

SANDRA Bullock will continue to co-parent Jesse James' children.

The Oscar-winning actress - who has filed for divorce from the Monster Garage host following allegations he cheated on her with at least four women - says she still wants to play a role in the lives of Chandler, 15, Jesse Jnr, 12, and six-year-old Sunny though she's no longer with their father.

She told People magazine: "I don't want to know what life is like without those kids. Whatever we need to do, in the healthiest way, we are going to be co-parenting."

On Wednesday the 45-year-old beauty announced she and Jesse had adopted a three-month-old baby boy, Louis Bardo, in January but she would now be raising him as a single parent.

Bullock filed for divorce on April 23 in Travis County district court in Austin, Texas, after the marriage became "insupportable".

Papers obtained by Access Hollywood stated: "The marriage . has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate end of the marriage/relationship and prevents any reasonable expectations of reconciliation."

Speaking about the legal separation Bullock said: "I'm sad and I'm scared."

James, 41, has also spoken out about the divorce, saying losing Bullock is the "hardest" thing he has ever faced and is devastated she will now be the sole guardian of Louis.

He said: "My whole life has been full of hard decisions.

"The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest.

"The love I have for Louis cannot be put to words. Not having him around to love and hold has left a huge hole in my heart." - Bang
