After weeks of rumors and speculation, Sandra Bullock has confirmed that she’s adopted a daughter.
The actress revealed the People that her new daughter is three and a half, and named Laila. According to the magazine, Laila had been in foster care in Louisiana.
This is Sandra Bullock’s second adopted child. She adopted her son, Louis, in 2010.
“I can tell you absolutely, the exact right children came to me at the exact right time,” she said.
Rumors about another adoption began months ago, and Bullock even responded to them in late October.
“There’s only one adopted child in my household and his name is Louis. If I had an adopted child — if I had a second adopted child — everyone would be hearing about it. I would be loud and clear and say, ‘Yes, I have officially adopted a second child.’ Right now, Louis must be it,” Bullock said.
Bullock says Louis played an integral role in helping bring Laila home and making her transition go smoothly.
Bullock recently made headlines for speaking out on Hollywood sexism.
