LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Jesse James returned to work on Saturday as his wife, Sandra Bullock, remained out of the public spotlight.
James, 40, was spotted back on the job at West Coast Choppers, where he acted "very quiet" throughout the day, a source told People. "He seems very upset but also very happy to be back at work," the insider said.
Business at West Coast Choppers has reportedly picked up since reports first surfaced on Wednesday that James carried on a months-long affair with San Diego-based tattoo model Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
"Everyone is just trying to be understanding and supportive," the source told the mag."He is actually a really nice guy and a good friend."
Bullock, who has reportedly left the couple's Southern California home, has not been seen since the affair allegations first surfaced. She has already canceled plans to appear at the London premiere of The Blind Side, which was planned for this week.
On Thursday, James stopped short of confirming the infidelity rumors surrounding him when he issued a public apology to Bullock and his three children.
"The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment," he said in a statement to People. "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.
"This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. 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."
