   Sandra Bullock is photographed without her wedding ring for the first time since cheating scandal broke

It’s been many weeks since tattoo model Michelle McGee went with her tell-all story of how she had an affair with Jesse James to the tabloids. Since then, Sandra Bullock, James’ wife, has made no public appearance, save for an outing presumably on business purposes. The star seems to be starting to revert to her old lifestyle, Entertainment Tonight reports.

According to the glossy publication, the actress went hiking this past Friday – and it has photos to prove it. Moreover, Sandra was not wearing her wedding band, which would make this the first time ever she’s spotted without it. This, in turn, could mean that she’s finally coming to terms with her failed marriage, while also being a confirmation of sorts that she did, indeed, decide to divorce her cheating husband.

“In an Entertainment Tonight exclusive, we have obtained the worldwide rights to the first photo of Sandra Bullock without her wedding ring since her husband Jesse James’ affair scandal broke. The Oscar winner was out last Friday taking a hike in Northern California. In our photo – drinking coffee and wearing a hat, with a scarf around her neck – the star looked somber despite the occasional smile, wearing barely any makeup,” ET writes. The photo in question has not been made available yet, but chances are it will surface online any minute now.

“Sandra’s left hand, in plain sight, was undoubtedly unadorned, with no sight of her vintage French platinum band along with intertwining diamonds. This is in contrast to happier times when she proudly wore her wedding jewelry. Even on Oscar night, despite wearing minimal jewelry, she did wear the diamonds on her wedding finger. It’s been 33 days since Jesse’s alleged affairs made headlines, and the actress has not shown her face in public until now,” ET further writes.

Meanwhile, Jesse James is in an Arizona rehab facility, seeking help for a condition that has not been revealed to the press. His number-one alleged mistress, the aforementioned tattoo model, is already cashing in on the entire scandal, having been offered to host the celebrity version of the reality show “Cheaters” (called, naturally, “Celebrity Cheaters”), together with one of Tiger Woods’ alleged mistresses, Jamie Jungers.
