Kat Von D fell for Jesse James shortly after his divorce from Bird Box actress Sandra Bullock in 2010. It was no secret that the marriage ended due to his infidelity, and the automotive mechanic even admitted to his faults. "This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them," he said in a statement, per E! News. James and Bullock had adopted a baby boy just before the scandal broke. "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."
Kat Von D and Jesse James went public with their romance in September 2010 by appearing at the opening of the tattoo artist's Wonderland gallery in West Hollywood, per Access Hollywood. "It's actually very new," Kat Von D told the outlet of her relationship. "Although, I've known Jesse for a long time, since I was 22-years-old. We've been friends forever and this is definitely something that I think we weren't expecting, and it's been great." She even admitted that she thought James could be "The One."
The couple got engaged just a few months later, but they would never say, "I do."
