Sandra Bullock has said publicly after her divorce that "Nobody can be prepared for anything." After what she considered to be a happy marriage to Jesse James, the movie star found out that her then-husband was having an affair through the media. James’ mistress was the heavily tattooed Michelle "Bombshell" McGhee. Upon hearing the news, Bullock reportedly broke down. "The feeling of shame and sadness that washed over me as Sandy began to cry was almost beyond measure. I didn't touch her. I sat frozen in my chair, watching, as Sandy's small body shook with sobs," James wrote. Worse, the breakup affected the children the couple were raising. Bullock had acted as a mom to Sunny, James' daughter from a previous marriage to a porn star, and so Sunny lost a second mother figure in her life during their permanent separation. Then there was also Louis, the boy that Bullock had adopted and would, for the time being, be raised without a father. Imagine the trauma and ensuing shock of learning that a spouse has been cheating. Now picture that you find out that your husband, who happens to be Brad Pitt, is cheating on you with none other than his gorgeous co-star Angelina Jolie. This is exactly what happened to Jennifer Aniston. After two years of dating, Aniston and Pitt tied the knot in 2000. However, after Jolie came into the picture, a split loomed and the couple divorced in 2005. Since then, the actress has been involved with a string of other high profile actors. After just a year of dating, she and John Mayer called it quits. She dated Vince Vaughn for a year and British model Paul Sculfor for a few months. Also on the radar was Aniston's co-star Paul Rudd, whom she met on the set of 1998’s “The Object of My Affection.” Once engaged to Tate Donovan who was her on screen love interest on “Friends” after three years of dating, she also dated actor Gerard Butler, though the couple never publicly confirmed their relationship.
