Bullock has two children, Louis, 8, and Laila, 6, whom she adopted, and on whom John doted.

Bullock has often attributed her parenting to the examples given to her by her mother and her father.

SHARING A COMMON BOND OF MOTHERHOOD

Bullock has become close to Hoda Hobt, 54, who also followed the adoption rote to becoming a parent after she battled cancer.

Kotb adopted her now 19-month-old daughter Haley Joy at birth, while Bullock, 54, adopted Laila at 3½ years old in 2015 and Louis at 3 months old in 2010.

The two women have become fast friends and often share the challenges and hacks of single mothers dealing with demanding careers and motherhood all at the same time.

In a related story, Sandra Bullock is a proud mother to her two children and she’s also committed to keeping them away from the limelight.
