She plays an unlikely bride in summer’s must-see romcom The Proposal and has admitted that she was ‘petrified of marriage’ in real life. Now, at 44, Sandra Bullock is a devoted wife and stepmother, and says she’s ‘in for the long haul’. So what made her change her mind?

Sandra and Jesse have been married for four years in spite of the fact that she once proclaimed, ‘I’ve always been petrified of marriage – I’ve always thought that someone would want to change me, that I’d be locked up like this specimen in a box.’
After other long-term relationships, Sandra showed little sign of changing her mind, ‘and I meant that whole specimen thing,’ she says now.
‘I’d had a boyfriend in college and I was talking about going to New York some day and he said, “Why are you talking about New York? You’re not going to New York. We’re going to be married and start having kids.”
‘When he said that, I panicked. I just thought, is this what it’s going to be like? I couldn’t imagine being in a marriage where someone wouldn’t want to change me and where someone would appreciate who I was, because that’s not an easy combination to pull off. I didn’t want any of that for myself, so I really didn’t want to get married at all.’
She met Jesse – a builder of customised motorbikes and host of the Discovery Channel show Monster Garage – when she arranged for her godson to meet him as a Christmas present, although she says she didn’t instantly know they would eventually be together, ‘as it always takes me a while because I’m very guarded.’
‘The day I knew was after he got in a racing accident in California about three months into our relationship,’ she says. ‘I realised how bad it was when we were driving down to be with him and they said that the chaplains were already there.
I said, “Whatever condition he’s in, I want to be the one to make the decision as to how to make him better,” and I realised I didn’t have that right. I knew then that I was in for the long haul and I thought, if he was [going to be] in a wheelchair or whatever, I was willing to take it on.
‘When couples make the vows “for better, for worse” they rarely think of the worst that can happen. But I thought the worst from the beginning, so every day is kind of a little blessing.’
