Sandra Bullock has revealed that she went to extreme lengths to shield her newborn baby from paparazzi and keep him a secret at the height of her then-husband’s cheating scandal.<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old recently chatted with Jennifer Aniston for a new profile, reflecting on the whirlwind story that engulfed her life in 2010.<\/p>\n

At the time, Sandra’s<\/a> five-year marriage with Jesse James imploded after revelations emerged of his infidelity with model Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee.<\/p>\n

Sandra had secretly adopted her newborn son Louis in 2010 and recalled how she had to put him in a hockey bag to hide him from nearby photographers.<\/p>\n

She laughed as she told Interview magazine<\/a>: ‘I was just cleaning out the closet, and I found these hockey bags for stuffing clothes in for travel. Child Protective Services, do not come after me…<\/p>\n

‘When the poop hit the fan for me, when we know what that is, I realised I had to get out of the house because the paparazzi were going to descend, and no one knew I had a newborn.<\/p>\n

‘So I put him in his car carrier, put it in the hockey bag, and zipped the hockey bag around him. Then I carried the hockey bag to the car, as though I was just carrying any random hockey bag.’<\/p>\n

Sandra explained that high-profile celebrities ‘have to operate like the CIA’, before revealing that someone near her recently ‘broke’ her heart by selling information about her.<\/p>\n

Sandra also spoke about how she puts her career to the side to prioritise Louis, who is now 16, along with her 13-year-old daughter, Laila, whom she adopted in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Practical Magic star<\/a> added: ‘If the kids can\u2019t be with me, I\u2019m not going. The older they get, the bigger their schedules. And their schedules are more important than me telling a story, period.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sandra Bullock has revealed that she went to extreme lengths to shield her newborn baby from paparazzi and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":["post-620229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
