   Sandra Bullock found out about her husband’s affair from her publicist, report argues

Sandra Bullock has reportedly moved out of the house after she learned that her husband, Jesse James, cheated on her with a tattoo model, with whom he had an affair for about a year. The news left the Oscar winning actress devastated because there were no signs of cracks in her marriage – but also because she learned of James’ infidelities in the media, PopEater has learned.

According to the e-zine, Sandra did not even know what hit her: she believed that her marriage to Jesse James was near perfect and thought she had nothing to worry about. When her publicist was contacted in relation to an upcoming cover story in InTouch magazine, she laughed because she was never the one to pay much attention to rumors. Still, when she heard the mag had the story straight from the woman with whom James had allegedly been with, she realized there might be some truth to it, the report says.

“By all accounts, it was a regular Monday morning at Sandra Bullock and Jesse James’ Hollywood mansion. That was, until Bullock’s publicist called with the devastating news that could potentially change the Oscar-winner’s life forever. ‘In Touch magazine had called Sandra’s publicist Monday morning to let her know the magazine was going to print an explosive cover story... saying her husband was cheating,’ a source at the magazine told me. ‘At first, camp Sandra dismissed the story until they understood that the magazine had the alleged mistress, tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, on the record telling all’,” PopEater writes.

“By the end of the day Monday, Sandra had moved out of the mansion in California and pulled out of her London event to promote ‘The Blind Side,’ feeling blindsided herself. ‘Sandra had no idea that all of this was going on. Not a clue,’ a friend of the actress tells me. ‘Now she is with family hoping for privacy. It’s bad enough for any woman to find out that her husband has been cheating on her, but to find out from your publicist and then have it on the cover of a national magazine is heartbreaking’,” the same report further states.

We were also telling you earlier today that, in light of everything that’s been said in the media, Jesse James has publicly apologized for his behavior and for putting Sandra and his children through such hard times. He did not admit though to cheating on his wife and only said that he’d like personal matters like this one out of the media, if possible.
