Sandra Bullock

In 2010, Sandra Bullock adopted newborn baby Louis Bardo while married to TV personality Jesse James. The two began the adoption process four years earlier but only got the call in January 2010, right in the middle of the Oscar season, when the actress was up for an award for her appearance in The Blind Side.

Even when she and James decided to go their separate ways, Bullock was just as happy to be raising Louis on her own. She even welcomed another child named Laila in 2015, who was previously in foster care. The Miss Congeniality star seems to be wholeheartedly embracing single parenthood. She credits her son for “spearheading this whole journey” of adding Laila into their growing family. Bullock takes her job as a solo mom very seriously, just as she does with all her movie projects.
