Los Angeles - Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James, is seeking unspecified inpatient treatment after being caught in a media fire storm amid reports he had multiple mistresses, People magazine reported on Wednesday.
"Jesse checked himself into a treatment facility to deal with personal issues," his representative told the entertainment magazine in a statement.
"He realised that this time was crucial to help himself, help his family and help save his marriage."
Though James' statement did not specify a type of treatment facility, a source confirmed to the magazine he checked into a treatment facility March 26.
Bullock, 45, won her first best actress Oscar this month for her role in The Blind Side. She moved out of the couple's home this month amid reports that James, 40, had affairs with at least four women.
James, Bullock's husband of nearly five years, earlier issued a statement apologising to his wife and children.
