Nearly a year ago - around the same time tattoo model Michelle McGee claims she had an affair with Jesse James - the 40-year-old biker sat down with Howard Stern and gushed about wife Sandra Bullock.
Asked if Bullock, 45, was the "best lover" of his life, James replied, "Absolutely, hands down," on Howard Stern's SIRIUS XM show on May 20, 2009. (The interview will be replayed multiple times Friday on channel Howard 100.)
James said that when he and Bullock began dating in late 2003, "all of her friends, absolutely, like 100 percent, [were] like, 'No way, we're putting a stop to this. This is no good.'"

But James said despite their different backgrounds, "both of us work. And you know we surprisingly live a normal life."
Asked how they handle their finances, James said that "everything’s totally separate ... I pay my bills, she pays hers."

James later added: "If you love someone as much as I love her, nothing’s an issue in that respect. We just handle our own stuff and ... some stuff I pay for, and some stuff she pays for."
Stern grilled him about a prenup, saying it must have been tough to hash one out prior to their 2005 wedding.
But James said "everything about it was totally easy."

He said they are "two people that kind of have perceived success in their fields; we both are strong ... I think when it's lopsided, and you're marrying someone that's like a remora [type of fish known for its clinging behavior], then you're going to be sweating all the details...."

Jesses a big jerk plain & simple. No more excuses (sex addiction). Take responsibility.
Listen to me first. I amnot in favor of Jesse lying, cheating to Sandra to her face and while he sat therein teh awards audinece's andshe praised him for "havingher back, and how whenshe met him, her work got better..." well, she looksreally foolish, silly now. BUT, I REALLY thinkJesse loves her. What he had with these women was aneasy lay. He gave them nothing-no money, time, love, attention, being out with him on his arm, no time with his precious kids, and he even forgot one of them, her anme. They were just an easy lay for him. A hole saying please insert for here for a few minutes. that is what they were. They did him.He could have cared less if they got run over by a train after. I amthinking the same thing about Tiger. He was cheap too. From what isbeing said, he hardly bought them a coke-cola and a bag of chips. One of Tigers ' s kanks did manage to wiggle a Subway sandwich from him. Not just playing and eating with his personal Subway sandwich ,but he bought her a real sandwich. No, he did not give her a Subway sandwich franchise, but just a sandwich. I don'tknowif he srpang for the Subway meal deal. These guys are jokes and their s kanks are jokes. Sandra and Elin , I think are the jokestar if they choose to be.
First jesse how are you going to be able to live with your self sandra loved you and you 'loved' her but cheated on her. I hate you and any crappy guy who cheats. You all need to go to H**l.
sandra will never get over this heartbreak. I have had this twice happen and left both cheaters. She will survive but never trust.
He probably does think she was the best lover, b/c i think he probably does love her BUT he thought he could have his good little wife and then get his freak on too! Wrong! You cant have both!!! I just think it's hilarious that these guys are such morons that they use their real cells and emails and send all these texts!! hello! they deserve to get caught. dumba$$
Sandra has never picked the right man for her. Jesse James is a cronic cheater who will never be satisfied with one woman. Sandra should ask the Millionaire Matchmaker for help.
Sandra probably already knew what was going on and was hoping no one would go public. She is in a horrible spot right now, that husband of hers is a real piece of s**t
We women know EXACTLY what we're getting into when we fall in love with and marry bad boys like Jesse. It is who he is, and Sandra knew it. I have been a victim of the same bullshit she has, but again, I knew exactly what I was getting into with my husband. We just love them & hope we can change them. No crime in loving someone. Lick your wounds and try to be smarter next time.
I find it to be hysterical that all these mistresses hold onto texts/e-mails. If they thought he was single, why hold onto it. Seriously, I think that just shows they were looking for something ($$). Jesse is not even worth the ground I spit on. Sandra is such a sweet and loving and private person, this is such a shame she has to be put through this embarrassment. I hope this doesn't hurt her too bad and she can just forget him and never look back. Such a sad loss since she was a great stepmom to his kids.
Jesse James is over the top, he was cheating when Sandra was in town, out of town, etc. He's a guy who should NEVER be married. The audacity of him to allow her to gush how he has her back. How embarrassing, he's a selfish selfish man.
I know this is terrible "logic" (using the term loosely) but what I can't understand is how freakin' quickly these guys (Tiger and Jesse) cheated on their spouses. I could picture it after 10 or so years of marriage (not condoning) but within just 1-3 years?! Seriously?! Talk about not even trying...
Sandra didn't go for the good, safe archetype. She went for the bad boy. Bad Boys exude an arrogant, macho-istic, â??gangstaâ?? dominance of untamed masculinity, which serves as a type of intoxicating attraction to women who like men who live on the edge. Some sport tattoos, the more tattoos the better. If muscles accompany those tattoos, watch out! The psychology of it all is the challenge of "pursuit and conquer". Women who are attracted to the "bad boy" persona tend to be extreme risk takers or seem to dangerously live on the edge. When you fall in love and commit to a bad boy you fantasize about changing him, making him loyal only to you. Sandra knew who Jesse was when they got together, she took a big risk and now she faces the consequences. It came with a price.
She put her heart out there -- she praised him during her recent awards, and mentioned that he had her back! She said that with such sincerity, and now this! My heart aches for her. I just read an Austrailan article that said she couldn't go back to him, but that she was going to pursue adopting her step-daughter, Sunny, because of her unfit mother and adulterer father. Hold your head up, Ms. Bullock!!! (Hugs) You'll be fine. Your fans adore you! Just tell people that your picker was broken, and give yourself a break for a while to get a lot of "me" time!
I think it's funny, that as soon as one woman says she had an affair with Jesse, everyone else decides to come out. Its going to be the Tiger scenario all over again and the media loves it! I dont think these girls realize that even though they're ruining someone else's life, they still look like tramps and hoes. They must be getting paid some serious money to trash him. I feel sorry for Sandra.
Come on. If you're asked on a radio show if your wife is the best lover you've ever had, are you gonna say no?
It's one thing to be who you are. It's another to go out of your way to shovel such BS publicly. Jesse is a dirtbag. Let this be a lesson in listening to your friends. Friends are with you for the long haul and can see things objectively -- and they want the best for you.
Love is blind and I truly believe that Sandra was blinded by her love for Jesse. You can said that she is naive, foolish, whatever, but I said that she is a victim in the name of love. She gives herself completely to this man and he made a fool of her. He will live to regret it for the rest of his life while she will rise from this and find happiness and love again. My heart goes out to this incredible woman.
Any man (or woman) who cheats deserves to be humiliated in public and be condemned for life. Jesse James is worthless and a waste of life. And not to mention, one f***ing ugly guy. Never knew what Sandra saw in him. Obviously not his looks or fidelity.
My opinion of why the women kinda crawl out of the woodwork once the whistle is blown...I think the women are cool with the affairs and the benefits of hooking up with people like him and Tiger UNTIL the secret is blown. I believe they come forward once they realize the party is over and likely no more benefits so they tell-all for the money. I think that each woman secretly wishes or thinks there actually is a possibility the man is going to leave his wife for her (women like these with no morals and/or self-esteem often think this way). I didn't phrase that very well but you get the gist of it.
