For the first time, Jesse James has opened up about cheating on his wife Sandra Bullock.

Asked why he had an affair in an interview with ABC's Nightline he said: "I knew I would get caught eventually and I think I wanted to get caught.

"It was me trying to self-sabotage my life."

He also revealed that sleeping with other women made him feel "horrible."

He said that he spends his life trying to protect Sandra and the children and explained the last person he would ever want to harm is the Oscar-winning actress.

He added: "I took a pretty amazing life and marriage and...kind of...you know, threw it away."

It looks like he has hope that Sandra may forgive him one day saying: "I still really love her and care about her."
