Los Angeles, Sep 26 (IANS): Actress Sandra Bullock's ex-husband Jesse James says that he wished he was part of their adopted son Louis' life.

The couple got divorced in 2010 after five years of marriage on the basis of infidelity by James. The couple was in the process of adopting Louis when the divorce took place, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"The painful part was about Louis, who we adopted. As bad as stuff was between us, we adopted a kid and things got kind of good for a little while and we had that kid to focus on, and, boom, it was over in 24 hours - gone, done,” the 46-year-old motorcycle entrepreneur said in the TV show 'In Depth With Graham Bensinger'.

"I got divorced and lost a kid I adopted because of it. Whether that's fair, whether I should have lost a kid due to infidelity, which I don't think anybody ever does,” he added.

Jesse also believes he should be given more credit for taking full responsibility for their divorce.

"The relationship part I was able to put aside. I had to stand up in front of the media and take full account for what I did and I took it all. I took 100 percent of it right on the chin. Nobody does that. Everybody denies it."

Jesse recently married professional drag racer Alexis DeJoria and believes she is the perfect woman for him.
