She has been nursing a broken heart while hiding out in a Los Angeles bolthole for more than two weeks, but Sandra Bullock finally made a break for it last night.

The actress, who has not been seen in public since news broke of her husband's alleged infidelities on March 17, was seen leaving a Beverly Hills residence last night in the back of a chauffeur driven car.

She hid behind a striped sun hat as she passed the huge throng of paparazzi gathered outside and quickly dived beneath a blanket to avoid being photographed.

Sandra, 45, then went on to visit Gabriel Brener, who is the head of a private investment firm.

He is described by a source as a 'dear friend' and was a guest at her wedding to Jesse James in 2005.

A source told America's People magazine: 'She's not there on business. They've been friends for decades.'

It comes a day after James, who allegedly had an affair with tattoo model Michelle McGee among others, checked into a treatment facility seeking professional help to deal with 'personal issues'.

His spokesperson said a statement that James 'realised that this time was crucial to help himself, help his family and help save his marriage.'

The type of treatment facility was not specified.

Bullock was on a career high that culminated with a best actress Oscar win for The Blind Side just before rumors of James' infidelity surfaced.

The two walked hand-in-hand down Oscar's red carpet, celebrated together at the parties afterward and were photographed outside a Long Beach burger joint the day after the awards.

She moved out of the marital home on March 15, two days before his alleged affair with McGee became public.
