Sandra said that Hurricane Katrina led her to consider adoption five years before her divorce from ex-husband Jesse James in 2010.
According to Parenting, the Blind Side actress “did wonder [to herself], “Maybe not,” but she finally decided to adopt when “Katrina happened in New Orleans.” In June 2018, Sandra told the newspaper, “Something told me, ‘My child is there.’” It was peculiar.”
Sandra Bullock adopted Laila Bullock as her second child in 2015, following the adoption of Louis. Later that year, she began dating Los Angeles-based photographer Bryan Randall, with whom she has since raised the celebrity’s gorgeous family.
An insider said in an exclusive statement in May 2021 that “they have actually become one giant, loving family.”
Sandra observed that while her daughter is “unafraid” and “going to do” wonderful things in life, her son has a somewhat different outlook. Louis is known as the Golden Globe winner’s “78-year-old son” for reasons she explained in May 2018.
Lou, she stated, is quite sensitive. “When I see him, I’m reminded of the Jewish Catskills comedian Shecky Greene.” He is intelligent and thoughtful. When they gave him to me, I could see it. He emanated spiritual magnificence. I prayed I wouldn’t mess it up.”
Sandra admitted in a candid interview with Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Willow Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Sandra on Red Table Talk in November 2021 that she sometimes wishes her children had her skin tone.
“I’d want to say that there are moments when I wish our skin tones were the same.” People may approach us more comfortably as a result,” says Bullock. “And I feel the same as a mother of white or brown-skinned children,” she added.
Sandra has prioritized motherhood since Louis and Laila entered her life, so she doesn’t have to worry about how she’s parenting the children. In terms of parenting and their relationship, the long-term couple is “doing better than ever.”
“He is completely dedicated to Sandra and the children, and she is aware of this,” the source said. “The kids have called Bryan ‘Daddy’ for as long as I can remember, and it still makes him smile.” Fortunately for the celebrity, the insider said Bryan adores Louis and Laila!
