Bullock 'helps James's daughter adjust'

Sandra Bullock is reportedly helping her stepdaughter Sunny to become accustomed to getting a new stepmother.

Sunny, the daughter of Bullock's ex-husband Jesse James and the former porn star Janine Lindemulder, is receiving assistance from her stepmother Bullock, reports Pop Eater. Bullock is apparently helping the 6-year-old cope with getting yet another stepmother when her father James weds Kat Von D.

"Sandra loves Sunny with all her heart and will always be in her life," said a friend. "However, she also knows that [Sunny] will have a new mommy soon and will do whatever she needs to do to make sure Jesse's new wife and Sunny have a great relationship even if that means taking a step away."

The source continued: "[Sandra] has given that sweet child nothing but love. As difficult as this will be, once again Sandra will prove what a lady she is."

According to the Chicago Sun Times, Bullock is worried about the effect James's upcoming marriage might have on the young girl.

"First there is that messy con­flict between Jesse and Sunny's mum Janine, which originally also involved Sandy," said a close friend of Bullock's. "Then, along comes the break-up of Sandy's marriage to Jesse - and all the issues related to that - which Sunny didn't really understand.

"Now Jesse brings a new, very different kind of woman into Sunny's life, who will be a very different kind of stepmother for Sunny."

James and Von D announced their engagement last Thursday.
