Jesse James misses his adopted son

London: Reality TV star Jesse James admits he misses his adopted son Louis.

James and his ex-wife Sandra Bullock had adopted Louis shortly before his multiple infidelities were exposed in 2010, reports contactmusic.com. James says it`s "too painful" to talk about his adopted child, who Bullock now raises as a single parent. The `West Coast Choppers` star says he wasn`t able to discuss Louis in his upcoming memoir `American Outlaw`, saying, "Talking about Louis almost felt too intimate. He is so sweet and I miss him". However, the 42-year-old is optimistic about his new life, saying, "I`m moving forward, thinking clearly and becoming a better person. I have started life over". Since divorcing from Bullock, James has relocated from California to Texas and is now engaged to the celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D. IANS
