Sandra Bullock shared an adorable photo of her two kids while celebrating Mother’s Day.
The actress, 61, posted a rare look back at her son Louis, 16, and daughter Laila, 11, on Instagram on Sunday. The much younger versions of her children wore cute outfits as she snuggled up to them, with Lyla in a colorful tulle dress and Louis in a magician costume.
During the heartwarming merry-go-round, Bullock also shared a snapshot of her late grandmother and late mother, Helga Meyer. In a childhood photo of Mayer, the actress and her younger sister, Gesine Bloch-Prado, were seen cuddling up to their mother.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, no matter how you were born. We are all bound by this once-in-a-lifetime honor,” she wrote.
“Thank you mom and Omi for letting me know,” she added. “I miss you so much❤️ I’m sorry I was such a brat.”
Mr. Meyer passed away in April 2000 after a battle with cancer.
Bullock announced he had adopted Louis in 2010 and Laila in 2015. She has kept her two children largely out of the public eye, only joining Instagram last month to promote her latest film, Practical Magic 2.
Bullock was spotted with her children in Los Angeles in October 2024, with Louis towering over her.
The three family members were photographed standing outside their car, striking up a conversation and looking relaxed.
Bullock said she prioritized her children’s schedules when speaking about filming “Practical Magic 2,” the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 film “Practical Magic,” at the CNBC Changemakers Summit in New York City last month.
“I made this film during this time because I knew my kids were out of school, and I wasn’t going to sacrifice their time, my time with them,” she said. “They’ll be happy if I’m gone. I’m not. That’s true.”
“I don’t do my best job when kids are struggling or when they need something and I can’t facilitate it,” she said.
Brock talked about being a working mother.
“I’m raising my children, no one else,” she said. “But I can afford to do that in this business. So many people don’t.”
“And I understand the sadness and anxiety that comes with being at work and saying, ‘I’m not where I’m supposed to be right now. I’m here performing and doing my job.'” But guess what? Even women can do it. You can do 15 things at once and get them done. ”
