The couple has one son.

In the biggest surprise of the year came the announcement that Sandra Bullock, award winning actress who just her first Oscar for The Blind Side, had separated from her beloved husband, television actor Jesse James amidst rumors of infidelity.

Actor Charlie Sheen and wife number 3, Brooke Mueller, a real estate investor, have signed an agreement in their divorce proceedings. Details of the agreement can be found on TMZ.
