Sandra Bullock shared an adorable photo of her two kids while celebrating Mother’s Day.
The actress, 61, posted a rare throwback of her son Louis, 16, and daughter Laila, 11, on Instagram Sunday. The much younger version of her kids sported cute costumes as she snuggled up to them, with Laila rocking a colorful tulle dress, and Louis sporting a magician get-up.
In her heartwarming carousel, Bullock also shared snaps of her late grandmother and her late mother, Helga Meyer. In the childhood photo with Meyer, both the actress and her younger sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, cuddled up to their mom.
“To all the mamas, No matter how you came to be,” she wrote. “Happy Mother’s Day. We are all bound by this honor of a lifetime.”
“Mom and Omi, thank you for teaching me,” she added. “We miss you ❤️ Sorry I was such a brat.”
Meyer died in April 2000 after battling cancer.
She adopted Louis in 2010, and announced she had adopted Laila in 2015. She’s kept both of her children largely out of the public eye, and only joined Instagram last month while promoting her latest film, “Practical Magic 2.”
Bullock was seen with her children in Los Angeles back in October 2024, with Louis towering over her.
The family of three was photographed looking relaxed while striking up a conversation and standing outside of their car.
Bullock noted that she prioritized her kids’s schedules while speaking at the CNBC Changemakers Summit in New York City last month about filming “Practical Magic 2” — the long-awaited sequel to 1998’s “Practical Magic.”
“I made this film at this time because I knew my kids were out of school. I’m not going to sacrifice my children’s — my time — with my kids,” she said, per People. “They’d be happy if I was gone. I would not. It’s true.”
“I do not do my best work if my children are struggling or if they need something and I can’t facilitate it,” she continued.
Bullock spoke about being a working mom.
“I’m raising my children, not anybody else,” she said “But I have the luxury of doing that in this business. So many people don’t.”
She added, “And I understand that grief and that angst when you are at work, going, ‘I’m not where I need to be right now. I’m here being performative and doing my job.’ But guess what? Women can do it. We can do 15 things at one time and get it done.”
