JAMES: ‘I HAVE TO LET BULLOCK GO’
SANDRA BULLOCK’s estranged husband JESSE JAMES has been left with a "huge hole in his heart" after his wife filed for divorce - but insists it wou ld be "selfish not to let her go".
The Oscar-winning actress walked out on James last month (Mar10) after tattooed model Michelle McGee went public with claims of an 11-month affa ir with the TV mechanic.
Several other women also came forward with allegations of affairs with James, prompting the disgraced star to issue a public apology to his wife and check into rehab to deal with his personal issues.
Bullock has now confirmed the marriage is definitely over, telling Peop le magazine she has filed legal papers to end the union.
The actress also revealed to People that the couple adopted a baby boy from New Orleans, Louisiana shortly before news of the scandal broke.
James, who has three children from previous relationships, has revealed his wife will now continue the adoption on her own, and he won’t be a pa rt of little Louis’ life - and he is devastated to miss out on the chance to raise a baby with Bullock.
He tells People magazine, "My whole life has been full of hard decision s. The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoptio n of Louis on her own, has been the hardest. The love I have for Louis ca nnot be put to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart.
"Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go." James also blames his marriage breakdown on an "addiction" - fuelling r umours he was treated for sex addiction during his recent stay in rehab.
He adds, "Right now it is time for me to beat this addiction that has t aken two of the things I love the most in life.
"I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four c hildren, and the mate Sandy deserves, and realise that this is an incredi ble mountain to climb. But I believe that the steps I have taken in the l ast 30 days are the foundation for making this happen. The lifelong commi tment I am making is what being a real husband and father is all about."
