Sandra Bullock marked her first Mother's Day since joining Instagram with a rare glimpse of her two children, Louis, 16, and Laila, 12. The actress, 61, who usually keeps her family life private, posted a throwback photo on Sunday showing the siblings when they were younger, with their faces partially obscured.
In her caption, Bullock wrote: 'To all the mamas, No matter how you came to be, Happy Mother's Day. We are all bound by this honor of a lifetime.' She also shared a picture with her own mother, Helga Mathilde, and grandmother, whom she called 'Omi,' alongside her sister Gesine.
The post drew comments from fellow celebrities, including Lily Collins, who thanked Bullock for being her 'first on screen mama,' and Mindy Kaling, who joked, 'Sandy why are you making me cry it's 730.' Fans also reacted warmly, with one noting, 'Still can't get used to the fact that Sandie got insta lol!'
Bullock took a break from acting in the early 2020s to focus on her children and grieve the death of her longtime partner, Bryan Randall, who died from ALS in 2023. She recently returned to work and made her Instagram debut last month, ahead of the 'Practical Magic' sequel due in September.
Speaking at the CNBC Changemakers Summit, Bullock emphasised that her children remain her priority. 'I'm not going to sacrifice my time with my kids,' she said. 'I do not do my best work if my children are struggling or if they need something and I can't facilitate it.'
