Jesse James wants America to love him.
The former Mr. Sandra Bullock has written a new book, American Outlaw, and is appearing on Wednesday’s Good Morning America and Nightline to promote it.
Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Through the Years
Speaking to correspondent Vicki Mabrey, James says that after he and Bullock divorced, he moved from Southern California to Austin, Texas so that his daughter Sunny could continue the relationship she’d developed with stepmom Bullock.
He also wanted to remain in contact with Louie, the baby he and his The Blind Side star wife were in the process of adopting when the split occurred.

"I don't want to try to second guess what she thinks or something like that," said James, who admitted his cheating caused the divorce from Bullock. "I mean, I know why I moved."
“I moved initially so the kids could keep a relationship and I could kind of keep a relationship with Louie, and then whatever else happened besides that."

James, 42, has sole custody of his daughter Sunny, whose mother is Jesse’s second wife, Janine Lindemulder. She was in prison for tax evasion during some of the years James and Bullock were married, and the Sandra developed an extremely close relationship with her stepdaughter.
But James revealed that Sunny has seen Bullock only a few times since the split, even after he moved to her home town of Austin. “There’s been no contact at all for several months,” he said.
He also said that losing contact with Louie, the New Orleans-born infant Bullock ultimately adopted on her own, has been “painful.
"I could only cry so much about him until I have to, like, suck it up and keep a stiff upper lip, and realize, hey, I have three kids that I do have."

I don't think she has cut off ties with Sunny. Looks like Sandra has been busy shooting a movie and other things. It is Kat that needs to be the mom now (go figure). If I had to keep seeing Jesse often I would carry a barf bag with me.

It confuses a child so many stepmoms(Kat&SB)plus her bio mom,especially when SB doesnt live with her & Kat does.who disciplines her?who should she listen to?SB did right in walking away.JJ changed the family's dynamics on SB when he added Kat.

As Valerie Bertinelli once said, u have to love your child more than u hate ur ex. While, Sandra is not Sunny's biological mother, she allowed the child to form a close relationship w/ her. U don't just walk away from that. Many stepmothers don't.

Oh boo frickin' hoo! He and the porno queen have lost a built in babysitter. The kid is just another example of white trash anyway.

It's best this way. Sandra can't make a clean break if she's still connected to this family. Also less confusing for the child when Daddy brings home the next girlfriend he wants to play house with.

Less confusing for the child than having someone bond with them and walk away?? Many stepmothers have the strength / desire to keep up relationships with their stepchildren. Sandra doesn't seem to be one of them.

Jesse no matter how you try to make Sandra look bad, she will always rate higher than YOU and KAT. You
made the choice to go to Austin I'm sure she did not ask you to. Now go back to LA.
