Things seem to be working out just wonderfully for new couple Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, a new report suggests. He’s already friends with her son, Louis and even helps out with changing diapers.

After she filed for divorce from cheating ex Jesse James, Sandra announced, early last year, that she has adopted a baby boy from New Orleans that she would be raising as a single parent.

Fans must know that she and James had initiated adoption procedures before the cheating scandal, and Sandra decided to move forward with it even when it became clear she and Jesse no longer had a future together.

Now, she’s reportedly with Ryan Reynolds, with whom she’s been on very good terms for years. In fact, they were very close friends, which is how they came to be lovers as well: they leaned on each other for support, post-divorce.

PopEater reports that Ryan is already close to baby Louis – and even helps out when Sandra needs a hand.

“Things between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are heating up. In fact, the new couple have become so close that the actress is letting her ‘Proposal’ co-star get closer to her son, Louis,” PopEater writes.

A source confirms this for the e-zine, saying Sandra is actually happy of the new bond, since she believes Louis needs a good role model in his life – and Ryan is just perfect for it.

“Sandra loves the idea of Louis having a good male role model in his life. They play together for hours, and Ryan even helps out changing the little fella’s diaper,” a friend of Sandra’s says for PopEater.

The fact that Ryan has always wanted to become a father is only making the relationship evolve naturally.

“Ryan loves children and has always wanted to be a dad. He would have loved to have had a baby with Scarlett, but work always came first. Having a little baby around has made Ryan realize that life isn’t about making movies and money. It’s about surrounding yourself with love,” says the same spy.

Adds another: “They all just fit together so well. Like one happy little family.”
