Jesse James is moving to Austin, Texas so that his kids can continue their relationship with the biker’s soon-to-be former wife Sandra Bullock.

Bullock has been living in the Southern city since news of James’ cheating scandal hit the tabloids last March.On Saturday, James, 41, told TMZ.com that the paramount reason for the move is his three children, who want to be close to the 45-year-old Oscar winner. Jesse has already purchased house in Austin and will move once he is finished taping a special for The History Channel.

Sandra filed for divorce April, just weeks after In Touch Weekly ran an explosive report romantically-linking James to a California stripper/tattoo enthusiast Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.
