The husband of actress Sandra Bullock has broken his silence on reports that he cheated on his Oscar-winning wife, telling People magazine he used "poor judgement" and asking his family to "forgive me."
Jesse James, a custom motorcycle manufacturer and reality TV star who married Bullock five years ago, says he takes responsibility for his actions but has stopped short of admitting that he had an affair with another woman.
Bullock, 45, who won her first Oscar last week, has pulled out of the London premiere of her hit movie The Blind Side after US celebrity magazine In Touch Weekly published claims by a model that she slept with James last year.
"It's because of my poor judgement that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way," James says in a statement to People.
"This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
Celebrity media late Wednesday reported that Bullock had moved out of the home she shared with James.
She is the latest in a long line of actresses whose relationships have fallen apart shortly after they won an Oscar.
Recent previous winners afflicted by what has come to be known in Hollywood as the "Oscar curse" for best actresses include Hilary Swank, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts.
British actress Kate Winslet, who won the Oscar last year for her role in the The Reader, announced this week that she and her film director husband, Sam Mendes, had separated.
